You'll need at most a hundred rounds. There isn't that many deer around. Yet preppers hoard tens of thousands of rounds.
If you want to be sustainable, get a crossbow instead.

A crossbow is a terrible idea as well. You need specialized machines in order to re-string it let alone if any other part fails. If your plans require zero reliability to civilization then traditional archery or an ~100lbs recurve bow modified with a trigger and a compound aim is your best bet.
