Hunting can provide you food in virtually any situation if you have the skills. Hunting is essential for survival when a crisis or calamity has disrupted your food supplies. Experienced hunters know they will never be without food, but it does take certain skills, and knowing where to hunt is important as well. Learning how to hunt is one of the most important skills you can acquire.
You must have the weapons and the skills with that weapon to hunt if you expect to bring down any game. You can use firearms such as a shotgun or crossbows for hunting. You may want to practice with both because ammunition in a crisis may become limited whereas, if the bolt is not damaged when shot from a crossbow you can retrieve it. Knowing where to hunt is important for a successful hunt. All animals must have a water source and they will use that source daily so any waterways are a good starting point for finding game.
Animals can be found virtually anywhere and practically all mammals are edible, with some being more appealing than others, but for the most part any mammal to include water fowl and other birds can be consumed once properly cooked to destroy all bacteria and parasites that may be present.
During a disaster or survival situation food supplies can be interrupted or non-existent. Not having the ability to hunt will mean you go hungry, and you must develop the skills now before you are in a survival situation. You can hunt small game even if you live in an urban area and your city is devastated by any type disaster.
Ducks and geese can typically be found in many parks and recreational areas that have streams, lakes or ponds. Waterfowl are hunted with shotguns for the most part using birdshot, which prevents damage to the bird yet has the knock down power. Your weapon must be suited for the game you are hunting. You do not want to destroy edible parts of the animal with too much firepower. Squirrels, rabbits and smaller game can be hunted in various parks throughout any city with shotguns using birdshot or with small caliber rifles, such as a .22 caliber.
It will take time and patience to become proficient at hunting and you simply cannot learn on the job when lives may be at stake. You will waste ammunition, endanger yourself and others, if you fail to learn the basics before you find yourself in a survival situation, not to mention someone will go hungry.
The weapons are as only good as the person shooting them is. Once you have gained some experience, things will become natural and you will gain confidence. Luck plays a role in hunting but you must make your own luck by starting out with the right weapon and finding the right hunting area.
