I've built some hunting lodges and I'm looking at constructing another nearby. How can I know how much is too much for the local deer population? So far, I've decided on the simple guideline that no two hunting lodges should overlap, but four hunters/lodge is perfectly safe, but I've not actually found any evidence to suggest that this is safe.
I'm not looking to fish yet but I will be, so I'd also like to know the same thing for fish- how can I know how much is sustainable?

I have personally come to the conclusion that overlapping is bad, anything else is fine and dandy. As a test I had ten fishing huts along a river, but none of them overlapped, and they all produced (roughly) the same amount of food, showing no decline as the river went on.
As soon as I overlapped them however, it seemed to decrease the production instantly. As such, your best bet is to simply spread everything out to make certain they do not overlap.
Also, make sure you do not chop down the forests around your hunting lodges, as the forest is important for its productionrate.
