Does the guy shoot to defend himself or goes by the law and gets eaten? If he is in the woods seeking firewood, why does he have a gun on him? He says it is to protect himself from predators.
I never said it applied to Rittenhouse which was an entirely different scenario. Was addressing the scenario in question, which was extremely limited in information.

The consequences for shooting a person are potentially more severe than shooting wild life, thus I would not equate the scenarios.
