A Guide to Bushcraft Hunting Tools

hunter with rifle bushcraft

The key to any successful hunt is to make sure you have the right tools for the job you are tackling.

Hunting waterfowl with a rifle, for example, is not a recipe for success.

Neither is hunting bear with a .22.

The silly analogies are probably, literally, endless, but you get the point.

In most cases, particularly if you are facing a survival situation, it is hard enough to get in position to kill game; you do not want to add to those odds.

If you do not match what your weapon with what you are hunting, the likelihood of success, both in shooting your game and in having something edible afterward, is greatly reduced.

You have to chose the right weapon, but also the correct ammunition as well as what types of elements your weapon possesses.

We cover that and more on the next page.

    In a pinch, you can make a “cut shell” from birdshot and make a “poor mans” slug for hunting larger game. Search for “cut shell” and watch some of the many videos available on the Internet. In a survival situation this would really expand your hunting options with a shotgun if all you had was birdshot or if you ran out of slugs or buckshot.
