Which would feed you more if the lights went out?

given the two choices:
centerfire at first, and then
the pellet rifle after all the
big game is gone.
 
Pellet rifle, pistol then suppressed .22 then a Wrist Rocket slingshot. Lots of rabbits but few deer in my subdivision. Have a recipe for Granny's possum pot pie. 😀

Center fire with reduced loads for lead bullets. I have bullet moulds for 223 and.308.

I admit I have always been super curious if people are good to eat, even when I was a child.

Supposed to taste like pork, but have a texture closer to veal.

There are concerns of prion disease from undercooked man, so it's recommended you get it to an internal temperature of ~160.

People forget they're won't be any kind of game management and anything edible will be eaten.

Answer. Centerfire, for all the long pork that will be around.

Assuming lights, power, gas, food/essentials shipments end, with the amount of people living in the carolinas, I think they're'll be a massive die off, which would probably offset that.

and most of it will be wasted because there will be no electricity to run fridges. a few jokers will have immediate bbqs and then it will all be gone within a couple weeks. local extinction of larger animals will be real because hungry people will be shooting anything that moves, spots or no.

pellet rifle is the answer. one in .177 because worst case you switch over to BBs. While weak and inaccurate, they're still enough to headshot things over bait. You may not get a kill, but you'll likely slow them down a lot if you get a good hit. You'll be relying small game that reproduce quickly, and hoping that everybody else has run out of ammo.
Ammo is dirty dirt cheap, and the seals on most pellet rifles will last years or decades with no maintenance.

if he thinks 160 destroys prions, he doesn't actually know...
160 will destroy parasites that most of us don't even have, yet, but not prions

Well, to be fair, the famous cannibal prion disease, "Kuru," is found in New Guinea, not America, and you'd assume that if there's a big risk of people getting brain rotting prion diseases from eating people, they'd already be noticeably be suffering from it(so we'd already know about it). So, likely not a likely scenario, but a famous cannibalism scenario... :p

For those who are "preppers" have you taken the time to load up salt while it is cheap and readily available?

And learning how to cure meat while you still have internet?


Salt-curing is ancient, and almost completely lost "art".

I've stored some salt in my survival cache. Mostly for flavoring my rice and beans, not salting meat. But its a good idea to have some regardless. Could be a bartering tool at the very least.

Anybody that is only planning to shoot rabbits and other game animals will find themselves very hungry if food supply is interrupted for very long. Everyone that is prepared or not will be out hunting and the population of game animals will be decimated quicker than most of us think. Every person with a gun or bow would be killing everything in sight
 
Here's a recipe for you folks going to live off of road kill...
