Let me get this straight.

I am lost (unlikely)/stranded/ cold and starving, in a national forest and all I have to do is shoot a squirrel and they will come take me away and give me three hots and a cot...? HEY! You might have something there.....And I could save on all that survival gear.

No they probably won't lock you up for that, even if you shoot an endangered species. They will just fine you up the kazoo and you will spend hours and drive miles for lawyers, court, probation, etc. Probably more costly than getting caught drunk driving. And it was for survival.

Now we see looting beer is for survival :-).
