Return of the Wilderness, part 2

[NorthernRaider]

Don't forget to add to the equation that with the fall of man as well as mass predation on wild species such as rabbits you will also need to consider the impact of
Increased numbers of foxes and raptors preying on the bunnies cos no one will be culling them
Increase in numbers of feral cats preying on the rabbits.
Increase in number of abandoned dogs like terriers preying on the rabbits.
Critters like mink, stoat, weasel, pine martin etc will increase in numbers and they to like bunny for dinner.

Dear TH you omit two types of fishing often used by unskilled and desperate people of which this country wil have plenty
(1) Dropping thunderflashes or other percussive charges into a pond stunning dozens of fish at a time thus wiping out a ponds stock of fish in one moment
(2) Pouring oil onto the surface of static water sources and waiting for the deoxygenated fish to come gasping at the surface within usually an hour or so.

Offset slightly by the inevitable increase in game birds as their would no longer be a mass slaughter every August
Hopefully enough survivalists will raid chook farms and breed / release chooks into the wild.

A well stocked pond is going to need 24/7 protection by the preppers.

As one or two of our colonial cousins mentioned many years ago in some places the survivalists ( as we were called back then) would ideally / need to keep and breed fish , game birds like pigeon and rabbits in secure locations to allow them to RESTOCK local areas after the devastation has passed.
