That’s partially because hunting is a terribly inefficient way of getting calories, both for animals and for people. For all of those preppers out there who think their stockpiles of ammo is going to help them hunt after societal breakdown, and they still don’t know how to can, their ammo just makes them human lootboxes. In the best-case scenario, they’re still going to have to compete with everyone else who thinks they’re going to subsist off of hunting, but there would be less incentive to not shoot hunters to eliminate competition, and fewer enforcement of the consequences of doing so.

So you’re completely right. I live in a place with a lot of hunters too, and all of them are dickheads.
