With the predator population generally decimated in the lower 48, and a declining number of Americans who hunt (excepting in AK), increasing numbers of game animals is to be expected. That said, Coyote populations are moving into suburban and urban areas and the hybrid "Coywolves" are moving down from eastern Canada and appearing in other places; reportedly, a sneaky cross between clever Coyotes and more powerful wolves:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CoywolfCoyote populations seem to have stabilized here in Western NC, and Whitetail populations have increased. My property has become something of a nursery for deer (we allow no deer hunting other than our own fall harvest of a couple of bucks), and I've managed for forage and cover for a couple of decades. Anyway, I counted 17 does and young in our front pasture the other evening; quite the heard. Yum! I've been eyeing a fine young buck the last few weeks; seems kind of dumb, but fat and happy. He'll likely be in the freezer by Hanukkah. Quite a few other candidate bucks around as well. We don't have "either sex" season for hunting deer (legally) here, yet. Hard to thin the heard without taking a few does.
I noticed that the recent bear hunt in Florida was cut short; too much success. Seems there may be far more bears in FL than the wildlife folks estimated. Maybe they'll eat the pythons, eh?
Then there's the explosion of 'wild' pigs throughout most of the US South. Ours are a hybrid of feral domestic pigs and wild Russian boars which were introduced years ago. Fine source of game food, and no closed season on those here. I have a stout semi-permanent trap set up to catch them when they roam through our property. They can't resist Honey Buns and corn drenched with sorghum syrup. Not hard to know when they're in the area since they tear the crap out of our pastures and woods. Generally nocturnal, hard to shoot, and can be dangerous, especially sows with young. I caught two fine young sows last year; about 150 pounds each. Mean bitches, those.
We have many fat ground hogs around. I hear they're pretty good to eat; maybe if times get tough..... The Coyotes reduced our wild turkey population, but we still have quite a few, and there's always Canada Geese; not so good to eat, I've been told. They've become year 'round residents, and a pain in the ass. Messy, loud creatures, those....
...and for my urban friends, it's been said that rats are a delicacy in some parts of the world. Douse with a little soy sauce, maybe some curry?
