I expect that's true, depending on how they repopulate. Probably hurt during the war, maybe some lean times right after (10-30 years) but surged back as other populations recovered like deer or whatever. Probably peaked a couple hundred years ago if they breed like other animals. Or about now if the are pretty slow.

I am going to make a guess and say they take 100-200 yrs to mature.
