Less. Way less. For five years I have been on a campaign to reduce the neighborhood population by killing four/year. The cars were helping out right along too, they were getting ~18-24/year. This year the cars only got 11 and so far I have only killed 2. I would say my local population is down more than 90% now. This is getting down to where it should be. I live in a chunk of land that's about 1/2 section and what we had was about 10x what it could support and we were seeing them starving to death. I should have started a few years before I did.
There are not near enough hunters who live in the area. The area is cut up into small acreages which makes it difficult. The problem is widespread and dispersion will fill in what vacancies exist and in much shorter than I'd like and the numbers will be right back up there again.
