Depends what happens. Populated areas are far more likely to receive any kind of help if there’s some sort of civilization remaining.

I can also see people in less populated areas being forced to relocate to management areas in some circumstances.

Likewise I can see hoarders being searched and excess food confiscated regardless of where you are.

Real hoarders cache.

Real self-defenders do the same.

I also wonder whether people who think they’re going to live by hunting might have a nasty shock in store when hunters from the cities realize there’s no tags and the only limit is what they can carry off. Literally millions would be heading out to where the game is, probably in organized foraging parties. Could current game populations withstand that kind of pressure for any length of time? That’s the bitch about being out in the country. What do you do when 500 armed hungries descend on your farm? (My guess is you die.)

Over my dead body. Literally. See my tagline.
