Loooool nice
 
Just before WW2 in Prince Rupert BC, because of hard times in the city, the game warden had a meeting and designated people who were good hunters to go out and kill as many deer as were needed to feed people.
I don't think we are there, but, at the local level, anything can be done with local political support
 
Would it still be considered poaching if it's your own cat? Or could it be considered as raising livestock? Asking for a friend...
 
Plenty of geese along the Bow River here. But certainly not enough to feed a city of 1M give or take, if it comes to that...

I get a kick out of us in the west. We get a virus that kills 1% or less of victims that actually get it, and people stock up on guns, liquor, and toilet paper and talk every man for themselves. The power isn’t even out yet for Christ’s sakes. Send a hurricane to the southern states and looters go wild and martial law in the streets.

Meanwhile Japan gets a tsunami that utterly destroys a region and people work together in an orderly and cohesive manner to save each other and move forward. This is a test run for the real thing, call me optimistic but I think we’ll come out of this better not worse.

It’s going to take work, financial prudence, and common sense not guns. Those who think they’ll be mad max come summer are in for bitter disappointment and some of the statements I’m seeing won’t age well.

With massive layoffs and some people heavy burdened in debt w/ no money for groceries how long till we see people going out and shooting big game to feed the family? Was at the local gun shop and a farmer rolled in and walked out with 1500 rounds of .223, case of buckshot and new shotgun. He's was concerned his cattle may become a target and was gonna kill any trespassers. Getting real out there folks.

shooting big game, small game ect to feed your family because you have no money left and your freezers are empty is NOT poaching. It is called Sustenance hunting out of necessity. If you must resort to that to keep your family fed and healthy, You won't be called a poacher by me.

Like anything, there are no absolutes. Largely, I would tend to agree with you. However, on many animals, there are what may be unpalatable parts for some (while others may deem same a delicacy). I would define the difference of sustenance hunting and poaching by how much animal is left behind. Taking just the tasties doesn't count (obviously not hungry enough). The rest, it's all about how you prepare it.
 
I'm with Angus on this.... We aren't living in the time of the black plague here....

I think the message is being overstated because, if it wasnt, people would be out shoulder to shoulder and pleasure travelling etc...

This has affected an extremely small percentage of the population and, as long as we are dilligent, we can keep it at bay and not become the next Italy....

I wager 80% of our population can't even acquire a gun.... Maybe more... And, out of those that can, a lot of them have never shot and processed an animal before....

Level heads will always prevail in these situations....

Happened in NW Ontario too. My grandfather stayed behind while his 3 brothers went off to war. He took care of all 4 families and hunted to keep everybody fed.
