    I mean, if there has been a forest somewhere for the last 100 years, chances are there are enough carnivores anyways. Nature finds its balance, hunting only adds chaos to the equation.

      Wolves had been extinct in western Europe for hundreds of years, only slowly spreading again after the fall of the Iron Curtain 30-something years ago. And, consequently, the hunting quotas for deer are being lowered.

      The chaos caused by eliminating wolves is slowly getting back to balance.

      By the way: a 100 year old forest is in its early childhood. Hasn’t even reached puberty yet.
