I’m in Germany, where hunting is highly regulated (not “recreational”) with specific quotas which have to be followed (a fermales and b males from species 1, c females and d males from species 2 etc.). No more, no less, and roadkill has to be accounted for.
Thankfully, wolves are slowly coming back, so the quotas can be (and are in certain regions) lowered - but, unfortunately, now wolf-haters show up whining about their sheep because they are unwilling to invest in proper fences and guard dogs, even while both are subsidized by the state.
