You're right but poisoned areas create vacuums; always have and always will. Just a matter of how long it takes to repopulate those areas from the few remaining within, and the adjacent blocks.
Problem with the ballot is that its not the plentiful meat animals that hunters are targetting (well not initially anyway), but something with a decent bit of bone. Its these animals that are getting harder to find.
Stuffed up a ripper last roar, so good luck to anyone who finds him.
