I was considering hunting/fishing/foraging to accent my food supply while
thru-hiking but am concerned with the legality of it all. Do I need permits?
Is it illegal? I want to bring a fishing rod and sling shot and kill/eat
everything I find.

You'll almost certainly burn more time and energy collecting food along the
trail than you would if you just put the equivalent amount of extra calories
in your food bag at your last resupply stop and carried it.  It's something
you might do strictly for the novelty factor (be aware of hunting/fishing
regulations) but it's probably not a viable strategy for increasing the odds
of finishing your thru-hike.
