Turn out normal hunting activities are not actually that hard for a DnD character to pull off. Let us remember, the DC for going into the forest and getting food and water is 10. A ranger with proficiency in Survival is likely looking at a +5. That is an 80% hunting success rate. Using this list here from Wikipedia <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunting_success#List_of_animals_by_hunting_success_rate" target="_blank">Hunting success - Wikipedia</a> that makes them better than MOST PREDATORS. Wolves have a success rate of 20%, leopards have a rate of 38%. Jump down in the article to the section talking about humans, and you see this little gem "Hunters who hunted with bows and arrows had a hunting success of only 5%" So, a ranger, is doing SIXTEEN TIMES BETTER than modern day hunters with modern day bows and arrows. This is without expertise which they get at level 2. This is without spells which they get at level 1. A ranger hunting a deer with a bow? Deer have 4 hp. They can sink a shot and kill a deer with a single arrow. Consistently. Without magic! But when you want to kill a Wyvern, a deadlier predator than just about anything on the planet Earth? Turns out a little magic is helpful in hunting those. Shouldn't really be surprising, since most humans don't use a bow and arrow to hunt tigers or bears either. Ranger's don't need magic to hunt normal animals and track people. They use magic to hunt monsters and be BETTER at tracking than normal.</blockquote>
