Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire If you had 4 hours...

Dang, that's easy. Neighborhood free-range chickens wander into my yard every morning.

Finding food in four hours is easy. Finding it when everyone else is after it too.....not so much.

4 hours isn't quite enough time to get to the nearest Pappa Deaux to gather up some Alaskan King Crab, but I'd easily find some other place to settle down for a few brews and BBQ.

Ants have a nice citrusy flavor, too.

Figure in 4 hours, you could likely find relatively fresh roadkill if nothing else.

In four hours, in this area, I've got a world of options for meat but greens are scarce this time of year. In about another 4-6 weeks, all that changes.

There's always something to eat; the question is whether you'd eat it.

Chick-Fil-A Meal #5, the spice chicken club. Line is so long here that at lunch you could spend half that time waiting to place the order

Any neighborhood pets that I could get a bead on, ha. Actually, right now we're covered in geese in our area so probably a couple of them. Lot's of doves too.

There's plenty of skwirls & doves & blackbirds around , other than that I guess I could kill one of the dogs

Catch a few Redfish, and pick off a few dozen fresh Oysters on the way back in.......doesn't get any better!

In Idaho, those invasive Eurasian Collard Doves are not protected. You can kill them year-round with no limit so long as you have a hunting license. I know where they like to hang out, and they're not real bright. Easy, peasy.

Outside ? FUG dat it's minus 2 in the front yard. Warm up the Jeep and bring back a mess of ribeyes from the sto'.

I have a 3 minute drive to work right now and someone just on the other side of the shop has a crapload of goats....

The next door neighbors have a dozen laying hens right across the fence. I could easily hop in and get a handful of fresh eggs because nobody is home during the day.

Other than that, I could pop enough starlings with the bb gun for a meal and maybe some sparrows for appetizers.

Same here!

With that criteria, it's a slam dunk - mule deer doe. More of them around than anything else, and the ones in town are damn near tame. No problem getting one in somebody's front yard less than 5 minutes from the office

Edit: forgot about the neighbor's horses - wouldn't have to pack meat as far...

Dove, pecans, maybe squill. The city just stocked some fish
at the
little lake at the park nearby.

I can go out the office here in town, about a mile, and have a deer within an hour pretty easy. POssibly within 5 minutes since its nice out.... should be plenty down by the boat ramp...

I have about 10 dozen smelt swimming in a bait tank in my garage.

If that wasn't enough, I'd walk about 200 yard behind the house and kill one of three bull moose that are hanging out there.

Rabbit, sharptail grouse or mule deer doe.

If a person is an acceptable answer I could probably bag one of those in under four hours as well.

Good idea. I was thinking fish, but oysters are a slam dunk. Pays to think like an injun.

oysters are given for us.

Something tender. I'll try to not break the glass.
