This is why I keep the feeders going all year, plus it helps to maintain the local wildlife.
Some times we get wild hogs going to the feeder as well. If SHTF, or eotwawki we will have a supply of fresh meat, at least for a little while.
The time is one hour off, its still set from last hunting season.
Another good source of fresh meat after SHTF will be wild hogs. If you know someone with hog hunting dogs, talk to that person about going hog hunting.
A 100 pound hog can provide a small family with enough meat to sustain them for several days.
One of the big benefits to wild hogs during a long term SHTF situation, pigs breed like rats. If you and your hunting buddies can catch a boar hog and a sow, then you have a sustainable source of fresh meat.
The problem with bringing a wild hog home from the woods, chances are its going to try and break out of the pen.
If the sides of the pen has tin on the sides so the hog can not see what is on the other side, chances are its not going to ram the tin.
