Cavemen Were Much Better At Illustrating Animals Than Artists Today

I wasn't trying to compare my hunting with those in the past who had to be successful or go hungry, on the contrary I was trying to show how much difference there was. I pointed out that I lacked all the skill set they had especially when it comes to getting close enough to make a kill with primitive weapons.

Now to address your doubt that I could go out into the wild and last for an extended amount of time,

I assure you I could, with today's modern weapons, securing meat would be no problem, I like to shoot long range so a kill at a few hundred yards even on small game would be no problem, I also can trap small game without steel traps and actually make the traps from what I would find in the woods. Fishing is a forte for me so catching them would actually be a fun and productive time, in the spring bird eggs are available everywhere. Snakes are a good source of protein and easy to catch. There are so many plants to eat in the wild it's easy to have a variety, wild onions grow everywhere, mushrooms are a good source of food, then there are berries and pine nuts and on and on I could go. Fires are easy to start even when wood is wet, been there done that before. Shelters, I'm a wood worker and know how to build and build strong with specific joints that would last a long time without nails, screws or glue and, well I know how to make glue from animals and fish, even know how to preserve animal hides for what ever I might need them for. It pays to be a country boy who loves the outdoors.

I made no claim about that; I am sorry if there was any ambiguity in what I posted, as I did not mean to suggest anything about your hunting abilities.  

(Of course, to be really impressive, you would need to be able to hunt without modern tools, but that is another matter that is getting us even further off topic.)

 There was on offense taken. My hunting skills could improve as most peoples could. It would be a bigger challenge to use primitive tools and I'm to old to be trying something like that just to see if I could, if it became a must i would do my best to survive. Yes we should bring this to a close, we've gotten of track, thanks for the conversation.
