((We're talking about some guy that lives in the middle of the woods. He's either crazy or a master at fighting in some way. And niether are something you attack.))
Or, at least, attack without a very good reason. There's a reason Vampires tend to live in cities nowadays- easier to target a random schlub in an alleyway than a guy who's probably a VERY good survivalist and athletic enough to keep off you.
Even if you WOULD eventually kill him, he'd have shotgunned or battered you hard enough that you'd better be hoping that meal's enough to last for, say, the three or so days it takes you to recover from the beating the humie just gave you in his death throes. So you'd have to be pretty desperate to go after a guy like that.
And if you WERE powerful enough to shrug off that, then what the hell are you doing feeding off random humies in a forest, you can probably do it off some asshole in a nightclub and nobody would give a damn due to dominate.

"OH SHIT JENNY THIS OBVIOUSLY MEANS THAT THINGS LIKE VAMPIRES ARE REAL!11"))
Well, there's enough people who think like this to get SupNat hunters.
Conspiracy theorists aren't the most defended people.
They expect the baddies to hand the good guys the weapons they need to beat them.
Corporations make chemtrails, so we must use vinegar to remove them... which is sold by corporations.
As for shotguns, some supernatural creatures aren't very threatened by that. Actually, I'll list a few (do note that this applies to some kinds, not all).
Vampires are only permanently harmed by oak and running water.
Werewolves are either damaged by silver, or oak and running water (some Vampires can transform into Werewolves).
Kitsune have illusions.
Dragons have scales harder than steel.
Undead creatures can only be killed with either cold iron (iron that's never melted) or something holy (good luck getting that in the middle of nowhere).
Generally you can't trust a shotgun when dealing with supernatural entities.
Vamps: And garlic, silver, being distracted by a pile of rice and getting their heads cut off, fire, sunlight, anything holy, need to be invited in to pass threshholds and even if they CAN they're required to abide by the law of guest and host if they're invited in as a guest, and they're completely useless during the day because they're constantly on the verge of passing out if they can be awake at all, and have to sleep in a coffin buried in the dirt of their homeland to regain mana.
Werewolves: Generally mindless except for very specific circumstances, silver harms them, as with anything magic running water grounds out their power, which they can only access for
one or two days per month, and even then only if the sky isn't cloudy.Kitsune: Fully affected by sealing, binding, and exorcising rites since they're spirits.
Dragons: ... are pretty hard core. These ones require a hero. Or a large-scale bomb covered with gold leaf, since they're mentally required to steal it, at which point you blow up their house.
Undead: fall apart if they try to cross running water or enter holy ground, weak to binding, sealing, and exorcising rites. Also, generally not intelligent.
Also, shotguns filled with rock salt will burn almost anything supernatural, and with iron buckshot will OHKO anything Fae.
