While I do agree with the private army and US hunters. I often wonder how formidable of a army this would be. If a trained battalion / Platoon / regiment / enteried your neighborhood how long would you make it, even if every body on in your neighboorhood owned a gun. There is only so much a bolt action 30-06 can do when fitting against 150 guys with armored vechiles...heavy machine guns..Full Auto Weapons...and artillary.
I wonder if the "idea" of an Army of Hunters is more of a deterrent than the actually Army of Hunters itself.

Yea but think of all the casualties they would substain from snipers and guerilla tactics.

on the flipside. Most hunters are pretty good long distance shots. How long do you think an invading army would last under sniper fire during their entire invasion? Look at the damage some organized hunters could do with the experience they've got.

You wouldn't be able to take them head on. Shoot the one with the highest rank then disappear. An experienced hunter is more than likely a better shot than the average enlisted man that may have never held a weapon before boot camp.

This and the speed of attack. They will have you flanked in no time flat in the dead of night.

That probably depends on the type of action (police, occupy vs. annihilate) and terrain of the area.
There's some pros and cons on both sides that make it an interesting discussion. Of course a lot of generalizations have to be made.
Most foreign troops would probably have seen little real action and may hesitate or be squeamish compared to seasoned hunters who pull the trigger, survey the kill, skin/clean and store/eat.
However, training in combat tactics could be another significant advantage for the Enemy army, depending on the quality of the training/trainee.
