With staple protein sources becoming expensive as FRICK nowadays I'm thinking of hunting small critters like squirrels, birds, cats and dogs for protein. I don't have a hunting license so I don't think it's smart to use my gun as it might draw attention. I'm thinking of setting traps and using slingshots and shit like that

I want to know:
how do you make sure an animal you caught is edible? I don't want to catch some squirrel disease
which animals taste best? which are easiest to catch?
any general tips on this approach?

    If you're willing to eat rodents, just buy a couple guinea pigs and breed 'em.
    Kids get bored with and give away their pet guinea pigs all the time, just wait for some to show up on Facebook/nextdoor/craigslist.
    They'll eat hay and veggie compost.

        Guinea pigs are actually the most efficient protein source per square meter of space used.
        Issue is they are cute and scream when killed so if you don't have the heart for it. You'll end up with 30 guinea pigs that you are emotionally attached too.

        horrible sources of protein. More just a source of carbs

        that's their entire purpose. They were domesticated for the same purpose as chickens minus the eggs

        Why is it worse to eat a guinea pig who was temporarily loved by a child than a chicken who was despised by the mass meat farmer who put her in a 1'*1' cage?
        The guinea pig probably tastes better for having been loved.

    If you want to eat them traps are a bad idea as the stress makes the meat taste bad. Just get a loicense and a 10/22 and shoot some on the weekend. It's good fun.

      are there traps that don't stress em out but just like cut em in half immediately?

      i can imagine a cage that's got a guillotine in it and if an animal steps in it it just gets popped clean af. Surely that won't be worse than shooting

      also how difficult is it to get a license?

    That's not how you do it. Just look at facebook marketplace and craigslist for people who want to get rid of pets like guinea pigs, litters of puppies etc. Usually they don't ask many questions and the animals don't have any diseases.

    get yourself an instant pot, learn how to skin them, throw them in with potatoes, carrots and onions, let them stew for a while and there's no way it'll taste bad

    >I don't have a hunting license
    Get one, it's not hard.
    >traps and slingshots
    you need a loicense for those too, it's not the "gun" that makes hunting hunting, you will still face penalties if caught.
    >how do you make sure an animal you caught is edible?
    clean and gut it well, refrigerate the meat or hang it in a cool dark area as soon as you can after kill
    >I don't want to catch some squirrel disease
    no you definitely don't
    >which animals taste best? which are easiest to catch?
    big game, deer, elk, moose, etc tastes best. For small game squirrels and rabbits aren't bad but the amount of effort put into it kinda negates the benefits. I would get the hunting license and try to bag a deer every year it's a lot of meat.

    I read a book about rabbit-farming once that made a lot of sense, you can keep a lot of rabbits in a small area, they breed like crazy, and give a lot of meat for low inputs. The only thing to be aware of is "rabbit-starvation" or protein-poisoning. Rabbits are so lean they are literally all protein and you can die if you only eat them. If you eat rabbit make sure it is with plenty of fats so you can digest the meat and not die.

    This is by design. Make no mistake about it. They are trying to reduce Western people's intake of meat by making it more expensive trough shutting down farms.

        They think they are saving the planet by reducing Co2 emissions, and meat causes a lot of Co2 emissions supposedly. So to save the planet they reduce people's meat intake. They have just gotten started on this shit. Its about to get worse

        This is really bad, we, the global citizens of earth must unite against this on all fronts

        https://www.c40.org/news/a-sustainable-diet-by-2030-is-key-to-solving-the-climate-emergency/

        >Food is one of the biggest sources of consumption-based emissions in the world’s biggest cities
        Action could cut greenhouse gas emissions from the food we eat by more than 60%, prevent 170 thousand deaths and $600 billion per year

        >Cities, businesses, restaurants, farmers and citizens need to work together to help people cut their meat consumption by two-thirds, for example eating meat just two days per week rather than every day.

        >Dairy consumption amongst Europeans is more than double healthy and sustainable levels. In North America, the average person eats 600 additional calories above the recommended healthy intake. By eating an average 2,500 kcal per person per day and reducing food waste, excess food production and associated emissions could be cut.

    To achieve emissions reductions that are consistent with the limits in global temperature rise that scientists say are safe, will require the following changes:

    Shift to plant-based diets

    >Citizens consuming no more than 16kg of meat per person per year down from an average of 58kg by 2030. This includes 1.3kg beef, when currently the average citizen from East Asia consumes 13kg a year.
    A target of 90kg dairy per person per year, down from C40 average of 106kg, or around 220kg in Europe.

    Eating healthy quantities

    Consumers limiting their daily food intake an average 2,500 kcal per person per day. North American citizens’ average calorie intake is reported to be over 3,100 kcal per person per day.

    Avoiding waste

    Reducing household food waste and supply chain waste by up to 100%

    These actions would have wide ranging benefits in cities. Eating less red meat and more vegetables and fruits could prevent 170 thousand deaths per year in C40 cities, equivalent to $600 billion, based on the economic value of life. Reducing dairy intake could save 19 billion m3 of freshwater per year.

    Consumption-based emissions including food, as well as construction, clothing, aviation, building and others, from nearly 100 of the world’s big cities already represent 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Without urgent action, those emissions will nearly double by 2050. The full findings were laid out in a major piece of research The Future of Urban Consumption in a 1.5°C World.

    You could eat illegal immigrants. Nobody bothers looking for them. Human meat is supposedly very good. I have a fantasy in which I'm naked in the woods with my dogs and were cooking a mexican over an open fire and eating the meat together.

    >I'm thinking of hunting small critters like squirrels, birds, cats and dogs for protein
    Squirells are fine, but its a lot of work for a small amount of meat. Birds - Elaborate. Cats & Dogs - Surely you don't mean domesticated? Mountain Lion and Bobcat taste fine, but Coyote is awful. Wolf Hunting is mostly illegal

    >I don't have a hunting license so I don't think it's smart to use my gun as it might draw attention. I'm thinking of setting traps and using slingshots and shit like that
    Trapping still needs a license. Also, if you decide to trap, you have to check every day, there are 2 types of traps, live traps and traps that kill them or snares. Tractor Supply Co has some or you can probably buy on Amazon. Be careful, you never know what you're walking into. If you get a skunk for example. Just stay a long distance away and shoot it

    >how do you make sure an animal you caught is edible?
    You look up recipes for different wild game, this usually includes a lot of soups and stews since its easier to eat for lots of rodent type animals.

    Be careful with rabbits, they have a parasitic worm in them, and typically you aren't supposed to eat rabbits until after the first frost of fall

    >which animals taste best? which are easiest to catch?
    I haven't trapped in years but squirrels and rabbits and opossums.

    As far as easiest to hunt, probably deer since you just find their trail or some poop or a rub, and put up a blind or treestand and when they walk by you shoot them.

    Wild Game food tasting rankings:
    1) Elk
    2) Venison (deer)
    3) Wild Hog
    4) Beaver
    5) Ducks
    6) Wild Turkey
    7) Goose
    8) Squirrell
    9) Gator
    10) Bobcat
    11) Rabbit
    12) Pheasant

    Anything after that is meh and you're just lucky to get it down. I would say the worst thing I ever ate was Muskrat

    Note: I've never eaten bear and I've only been out west once, but they have the best wild game, Alaska in particular.

      surely I do. Don't know anything about this kind of thing though, do they taste worse?

      >Trapping still needs a license
      well my point was that I'm just not gonna get caught. I think I'd get caught way easier if I took my gun out

        Crows and pigeons are disgusting

        Ducks Geese Pheasant and Turkey are good but you hunt them with a shotgun.

        Cats & Dogs-okay, now I know you’re baiting. That’s illegal and disgusting. Even if it weren’t, I doubt they taste good. Mountain Lion is similar to pork. Coyote tastes like ass.

      yeah just do chickens or rabbits. Joel salatin has an open pasture method for this. You have a wooden frame enclosure he calls a "tchicken ractor" you kick to a new patch of grass once a day and throw in some food, after 60 days of this you have 500 lbs of chicken ready for slaughter..

    Get a small animal trap like a havahart trap, trap vermin outside, take them into your house when no one is looking, and shoot them with an air rifle (lead shot) or .22lr suppressed pistol/rifle in your garage or basement.

      Also in most states you have a legal right to kill any wild vermin that go on your property without a trapping/hunting license, short of endangered species/household pets.
