Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Could you live on deer in a major crisis?

I figured that any and all large animals would soon be gone…..and we don’t have “Chucks”!

But, we have plenty of raccoons! I’ll bait them with the garden….. will catch them trespassing! memtb

If it got that apocalyptic, no way. This it is semi-rural country with very limited whitetail habitat or cover. Much before the deer, the well known, ubiquitous livestock confinements would be targeted, but even as numerous as they are, I doubt that source of protein would last very long.

It would seem people would even drive from other areas to raid and steal cattle and other livestock. Outside of that, could the owners even provide feed and care for them?

If it came to wild game here, the pickin’s and competent pickers would be slim. I could be way off, but lack of utilities and medicines here would become more critical for many before food as most have stocked pantries and full freezers.

Nah, I wouldn't survive more than a few months at best, probably not that long.

The carrying capacity of this region,greatly outpaces that which would be required for local sustenance. Drinking water abounds and the table is set twice daily,as an absolute minimum. Hint.



Just sayin'...............
