I was born in 1954, long after the buffalo were gone.
I have seen a profound drop in the numbers of many species. Moose, Fish, even Ducks.
Certain wildlife populations may have increased but many have been devastated by modern farming practices and habitat loss.
I don't get that from research, I get that from hands on, boots on the ground observation.
There is plenty of research out there that was done in the library, not in the field.
But you are right about unregulated hunting, at least with modern equipment. That is not sustainable and in fact is why we have conservation laws.
