The closest example I could think of that is actually documented is Alexander Selkirk who was the inspiration for Robinson Crusoe. He actually lived on an island in the pacific for over 4 years. Pretty impressive and a great story if your into that sort of thing. However, previous ships had left goats behind so he captured and eventually tamed a few.
Interestingly, I think it would be far easier and you’d be more successful in a place where fish were plentiful. Probably one of many reaasons people have always lived near water. It’s really hard catching animals on land but you spend far fewer calories harvesting sea life.
