How is the average person going to store this meat once they have it? I'm willing to bet less than 30% of the city population knows how to store meat without a freezer.
Did nobody else get this?! Hilarious! You sir, have won for funniest post on this thread!

Hunting activity will go way up, but I think the majority of people living in the city, lack the basic knowledge and resources to hunt/fish to survive. I live in an apartment complex, and I bet of all the people living here, maybe 10 of us own firearms (out of several hundred), and out of us 10, I bet maybe 3 of us have actually hunted or fished with something other than a bobber and worm when we were kids. The other thing is, how many of people living in the city could figure out how the heck to get to "the woods" to survive/hunt, and when they get there, not die from exposure? We were having the "what if there's a big natural disaster" talk at work recently, and one of my less than bright coworkers told me "I'd walk North, or whatever direction it is, toward Mt. Rainier. Bet the hunting would be good there." Now we're in Renton, which means he won't be getting there if he thinks he needs to go North. Besides, how long would it take him to walk there even if he figured out a route? He'd be better off walking toward Issaquah and posting up in someone's back yard and waiting for a deer to go eat their flowers.
My guess is most people the first couple days would have to many hang ups, but eventually break down to looting (and the real smarties will be those people you see stealing electronics when there's no power to use them or house left to put them in), stealing from their friends/neighbors, and eventually trying to catch domestic animals like dogs and cats after a week of no normal food to be found.

I do also maintain a winter garden with broccoli, cabbages (including Kale), turnips, beets, carrots and several onion types.
Meat is meat...
I think we covered the answer to this in the infamous Cannibalism thread. A nice tender, organic fed, office kept human... hmm
Wait a moment... so I know there's a lot I don't know and this is yet again more to add to my list.
How are you gardening with all the freezing weather and rain? I pulled my carrots and onions up, could I have planted a late batch?

Think maybe you were considering a different "piece"?Ah yes there is this cute little gal down at the bank that I've always wanted a piece of

I bet that your Gramps had several "pews" to himself at church, huh?Realistically game and fish population will plummet to an all time low. There are to many people looking for food they wil eat anything they can find. Your pets deer fish and I am sure even trash fish and predators. My grandpa fed his family thru the depression on skunks.
