Hunting
there have been several discussions reguarding this ranging from the fun of Exotic Zoo animals escaping like elphants rhinos lions ect...
Not being able to hunt because the animals may be zombies or carriers of the disease.
Even ideas addressing cleaning infected meat by cooking and other methods...
However the biggest threat are insects like mosquito's flea's and other insects either becoming zombies themselfs or transfering a zombie pathogen.
Then basicly all hope is lost unless you live in a underground windtunnel sealed off from the world lol...

living
"here is a though why not live in remote in the woods and live off the land" You have been a member since April and you haven't looked at anything on this site have you.?
If you have read any of the other older members plans you will see that there are many options put forth, including remote areas..?
But more importantly...can YOU live offf the land , isolated and alone.. do YOU have the skills to say, start a fire with nothing but your knowledge, no matches, no firestarters, no bic lighters?
Can YOU set a spring trap or a dead fall?...have you ever run a trot line... ?
Have you ever hunted to start with, do you know how to dress and preserve game in the wild?
can you build a shelter with only what is around you at your destination.?
These are questions you should ask yourself...Lots of members like myself already live pretty remote

Zombie Hunting(the living)
Hunting and stalking are acts that require active brian function. Considering that the brain ceases to exist after loss of oxygen, the brain cannot reason and thus cannot formulate strageties for hunting and stalking. You must consider than, that large zombie attacks are simply targets of opportunity. If you don't go uot of your way to bring attention to yourself, you should be able to avoid an immediate attack. at least until you can join up with other survivors in a secure location.
From that point on, you can begin zombie hunting in earnest.

Hunting Deer
I live in the Illawarra South of Sydney. There are plenty of feral goat and deer in the bushy mountains which are only about a 20 minute walk from my house. I see them nearly everytime I go to the outskirts of my suburb so I am fairly confident I could locate them easily.

Hunting season
"Uh...Barnett Crossbow actually. I'm left-handed, so it was hard to find a hunting bow, especially when I was younger. We got the crossbow when I was 10, and I've used it ever since.
OJ: What did the censor block? " Do you have a crossbow season where you live? Or are you using one instead of a rifle to hunt with, I know some states allow that. Sadly where I live in Oregon there is no crossbow hunting that I'm aware of.

Zombie Hunting
You mean put in control of tens of thousands of people, millions of bullets at our disposal and a few hundred thousand people behind the front lines sorting out food, clothing, manufacturing, etc?
Much as described in WWZ. First you need a safe zone where you can regroup, defend and live. This is cleared, stable and productive. Then you simply expand that perimeter, ensuring that every square foot is zombie free.
Wide open spaces would be easy to clear, but the key is to avoid overstretching the perimeter. Ideally you keep the front line as short as possible, and only have one front line. Use the terrain to your advantage, and make natural borders and defences work for you.
Techniques? Much as in WWZ, drawing the zombies out into the open with noise seems like a viable tactic. Firing lines akin to the movie Zulu to ensure constant barrages, "Sandlers" to keep ammo fresh. Really, WWZ could be a good blueprint for taking back a country.

Zombies Hunting
"I'd take sound over sight...
LOS for a person depends on the terrain. I'm not from the farm belt, you can't see for miles here.
However, echos here can carry for quite a distance if loud enough...
Additionally, your not going to have all the ambient noise of modern society as you do now. " The problem with echoes it that they are tricky, i live in a city and the bouncing of the sound its amazing, is almost like a mirror, if you fire a gun, zombies will most likely go in the opposite direction
P.S.: The dispersion of the sound also depends on the terrain so's smell

Surviving and Living
I'll be entirely honest, I focus heavily on "survival" and not a whole lot on living in my preparations.
That being said, I would probably derive pleasure from many of the tasks associated with survival though, because I enjoy being outdoors and physically-intensive labor. Hunting and gathering would fulfill two recreational needs at once, because I also enjoy cooking, especially over fire. Alcohol, good books, bad books, and firearms tinkering would probably fill my need for recreation as well. If it didn't, I'd probably grab a rifle, a pouch of ammo, my Kabar and a full canteen and go for a long walkabout, to get to know the area better.
Despite being an introverted recluse (shocker!), I do like talking to people and getting to know them. I think I'd probably use that as a source of recreation as well.

Timeline Of The Living Dead...And Just Living
Okay so I was talking (kinda) to Smallprint and an idea formed in my head about timelines. The order in which things can happen before and after The Panic.
So here I am giving you My Thoughts on the timeline. I'm using a terrorist attack as the prime cause. The virus has a long incubation period but is infectious within a week of infection.
Ye Olde Normul Wurld: We're living it. Things are working more or less like they should.
The Beginning: New York, Tokyo, DC, London, and Paris are all visited by people who are simply going about their business. They are business men who travel overseas as a part of their work. They through various covert means were infected by the Zombie Disease and are unaware that they are spreading it. Business as usual continues.
Buildup: People begin getting sick with flu-like symptoms. Hospitals begin getting more patients than usual. The public is worried but not overly so.
Buildup Stage 2: The first deaths start to occur restricted primarily to the weak and elderly. Reports of attacks by unknown assailents are bandied about on news stations and people begin showing up in emergency rooms with bite marks.
The Announcment: The governments tell citizens not to panic as more and more attacks occur in every state in the country and abroad.
The Panic: http://www.zombiesurvivalwiki.com/page/The+Panic
Danger Period: At this point the primary panic has died down. The majority of rioters are dead or holed up elsewhere. Essential goods are nowhere to be found due to the panic moving them into more defendable areas.
At this time idiot raiders, badly prepped survivors, and pockets of military and police forces are holed up as well. Many survivors leave the large cities for the isolated woodlands only to be picked off by zombies and the aformentioned other guys.

Illegal methods of hunting.
We used to eat jmostly wild game and guess some of it was taken outside of the law, but always on our property
A scoped .22 is VERY effective on waterfowl such as geese, if you shoot it under a running tractor can often kill a few befor others get smart.I have shot many geese and 2 deer [and of course ground hogs] while driving a tractor and used to get close enough walking beside a horse to shoot geese too.
Hunting waterfowl over Bait or using live decoys is very effective and thats why you can't do it...I have gotten fined for both befor. I knew an old timer that used to tell stories about his trained Live Decoys that were like dogs to him
Fence or Pen traps are very effective on waterfowl I have read...[ OK I used to trap quail with one as a kid]. I've used to trap owls and hawks using a no. 1 muskrat trap on the top of pole
No plug in your shotgun [got busted twice for this]
I knew a guy once that used to snare Deer, I always wanted to try it but never did. he would bait them and then set a snare when they got used to eating the bait
Driving the roads at night and spot lighting deer, never did it but is effective
Song birds while not much meat are tasty
Fish traps and nets could be effective....DNR found a poachers net right out in front of my house while back with 100s of big rock fish in it. Think third one they found this year and are worked up
Bank and trot lines could be used too
As a kid I used to shoot carp with a rifle, probaly illegal but for sure fun, same with M80s in bottles set off in the water

Hawg hunting bare handed.
Dogs wouldn't be a necessity, more of a luxury. food and water are the only real essentials.
That said, these people know how to train and use dogs, and I don't dispute that for large groups, it would be effective, but if one doesnt or cant train a dog properly, or take care of it, they arent hat useful.
A dog is a tool, a living, breathing tool, but still a tool.

Underwater Zombie Hunt
If the zombies turn out to be max brooks style zombies then they can move around under water then acording to him there might be a need to hunt them down hunder water, in one of his books "the zombie survival guide" he talks about how to do this. What are your opinions on this and do you think that its reasonable. The reason I ask is beacuse it would probably be me who would be undertaking the mission since I have a scuba diving license.

Hunting vs. Surviving
Devilnuts brought up an interesting point in his profile that I think deserves a thread.
What are you going to be? A zombie hunter or a survivalist? Personally it would depend on my area and the level of infection. A night of the living dead situation would seem ideal for zombie hunting, because they were slow and scarce. If approached quickly enough, effective hunting groups could wipe out the outbreak before is ever becomes an issue.
On the other hand, 28 days later or Dawn of the Dead (2004) style outbreaks would deffinetly warrant a quieter approach. Towards the end of DotD, how many zombies were there roaming the parking lot of the mall? Thousands pretty much. I think it was Ving Rhames that said they might all be flocking to them because of distant memories of shopping or whatnot, but maybe it was them making their presence known by constantly shooting, walking around on the roof, driving around, etc.
Both approaches also require a different equipment load.
Hunters will most likely be more outfitted for protection, IE some sort of armor, vehicle, and an array of weaponry. Only a day or two worth of water or food would need to be carried, because if there are few enough zombies to let you move around freely shooting through the streets, then you will most likely be able to resupply yourself periodically through scavenging. The ideal number for a hunt team would most likely be 4-6 people, enough to keep 360* awareness and enough fire power to take out the occasional "cluster" of zombies. This method would be way to risky in a large outbreak due to being highly detectable, and no solid plan for escape if your surrounded or overun. It sounds fun, but an outbreak in its early stages that would justify hunting would most likely be somewhat military controlled, and you run the risk of the military/police shutting down your vigilante attitude.
Survivalist would be better suited to only carry

Ultimate Zombie Hunting Weapon™
Since my seminars on travelling by bicycle and moving silently in the night seem to create dischord amongst you 12-gauge toting, V8 revving ultimate zombie hunters I thought I'd best share with you news of the Ultimate Zombie Hunting Weapon™
Angle 1: http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/8431/soldiertechcorner2cg8.jpg
Angle 2: http://www.gadgetzone.ro/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/lansator_corner_shot.jpg
"Corner Shot, allow to shoot around the corner, without endanger the shooter. Corner Shot has a camera and a vidoe monitore for the shooter to see around the corner" - Top Israeli Zombie Hunting Scientist
Even better, this corner-shot isn't equipped with the standard 9mm Glock that you know and love, it's been modified to fire a 40mm HE round, perfect for all your zombie-hunting needs. This is 100x better than any .410 gauge revolver or .22LR rifle with BBA (Brain Bouncing Ammunition)

VIDEO: Zombie Hunting with Possumblaster
"Now that you mention it...
Anyway, it was a great video.
*MUCH* better than I could do with my lack of video taking skills.
Also, nice Rem. What's it chambered in?" Thanks!
The Rem 700 is chambered in .223. I am trying to keep as many guns in .223 as possible, because that is the caliber that I am reloading/stockpiling. I would have gotten a .308, but honestly I'll never shoot further than 600 yards anyways. For me personally, .223 fits the bill.
If I lived in, lets say, Kansas on the plains then I would definitely go with the .308. Not because of the extra damage, but because of the extra range that .308 would provide. Where I live range is really limited due to the hills and trees.

B.O.B. and were you live.
i live in an outer city zone ( about 10 minutes away form the city centre) live in a 2 storey house down the road form me is a corner shop and a few blcoks away is a d.i.y store, at a guess about 3 seperate houses down my road contain guns and ammunition (hunting reasons).
say im holed up in my house and am wishing to raid one fof these said houses or shops.
my b.o.b would contain:
Knife/multitool
1 litre of water
2 energy bars and one mre
small first aid kit
extra bag for supplies.
As my trips should last no longer than say half an hour not much is needed but id say i have enough in my bag to last me a day holed up in a location halfway between locations should things not go my way.

OT: Living off the grid
If my girl and I decide to take this relationship farther, we both would love to move to the middle of nowhere, buy a ton of land, and live as "off the grid" as possible. Growing our own crops, hunting for meat, raising chicken and goats, wind turbines for power, well water, the whole works.

Raiding: The only way to live
"we need to chance that what u u call when u need to go to a walmart for some supplies and its zed controled? scavaging? no its raiding no matter how u see it a raid is a raid no matter who its on" If you are taking from a living person through violence or intimidation it's a raid. Is taking a gun off a dead guy raiding? No it's scavenging.
