Depends on their diet...I've seen some big ol' fat greasy ones I'd have to pass on. They'd feed you for a while, but it would take too long to get to the lean meat.
Back O.T. for a minute, I used to work in a sports shop and there was no telling how many guys would come in the store the night before the opening day of deer season and want to buy a rifle, have me mount a scope on it, and intend to hunt with a bore sighted rifle the next morning. After a few of those, I flat out told the customer they were going to have to get someone else to mount the scope. They complained to the manager, but I stood my ground and the manager (also a hunter) sided with me. Deer season didn't come up as a surprise to anyone, a little forethought and a little respect toward the game you pursue is not too much to ask. Those fools are a danger to everything else living in & around the woods.
Archers can't get away with that kind of B.S....even the compound guys.
Making a lethal shot with an arrow takes skill and a lot of dedication & practice, much more so with traditional tackle.
Snares will fill your belly for sure, but you'd better be ready to defend your catch when you get there.

If the markets went dry for 2 days, I wouldn't need meat yet...but I work on a dairy farm. If anybody has tried to clean, and then milk just one cow. They will get me. I always tell the cows, I got water I don't need milk. (Yes, I talk to cows)
I'd be down there in a minute to send a broadhead into a cows small brain! >:D

Tourist? Too greasy and they all smell like coconut oil down here. I'm with madcrow, I've dropped a bunch of hogs with 22's with head shots. Some of the survivalist swear that the .410 shotgun with brass or steel cases are the ultimate survival gun. Cheap and easy to reload with modern or black powder. Either load with shot or .41 cal. round balls or buckshot.
