Bava Metzia 85b says how Rabbi Chiya planted flax, made nets from the flax, trapped deers, gave the meat to orphans, wrote Sifrei Torah on the skins, brought them to a town without teachers, and used the torahs to teach children.

Presumably he shechted them before feeding the meat to orphans.

Based on the 39 melachot, you need to trap the animal and then shecht it. (Trapping is one before shechting in the list.)

Obviously, pikuach nefesh is a different story. If you needed meat for health reasons, couldn't set kosher traps and couldn't get hold of kosher domestic animals, presumably you'd have to eat a treifah or neveila.

Not relevant to a real-life hunter, just a comment on your use of the 39 melachot, practically it's easier to trap an animal before shechting it, but if someone snuck up on a wild animal and shechted it before it realized what was happening, seems to me it would be kosher.

Agreed, but I'll add- normally one plows before planting (or at least digs a hole, which still counts as חורש), but hydroponics somehow works without that.

Can anyone cite a responsa on hunting? I always thought hunting was stam not allowed — that the animal would have to be trapped and then shechted. The only things I can find are about hunting for sport, which is not the same as hunting for meat.
