A quick search on just TX showed 1.1 million licensed hunters and an estimated 1.5 mill hogs. If each hunter tried to shoot just 2, they'd be out of hogs. Of course many of the hogs would be inedible.
Some big assumptions there on the ability of the general public to locate, kill and harvest hogs. Maybe 10% would have a clue. Maybe 3% successful.
That and human predation (with or without consumption) on other humans (and personal defense of same) in a SHTF scenario would quickly reduce the human population and perhaps predation on wildlife.
The human race numbers/current "civilization" status is on thin ice, even as we post.
In Alaska, we are also vulnerable.. remote villages included. Would some people survive - yes. Would the majority? No. Some villages are 100% on SNAP. Even as designated "subsistence" users, with special and very generous hunting privileges and protections. BTDT, myself.
Cut off their ammunition, gas supply (and soda pop, drugs, alcohol) and things get ugly quickly! The old skills are no longer there, for the most part, in the current generation.
May not even be enough dogs to go around for 3-dog teams as transportation, at least initially.
Farmers in the tropics and temperate zones will fare the best, if they can survive other humans long enough to make and keep a crop.
