Are trappers likely to kill all the lynx in one area even if regulations were abolished?

While it's theoretically possible for trappers to significantly reduce lynx populations if regulations were abolished, it is unlikely they would completely eradicate all lynx in a given area. Factors such as the lynx's elusive nature, low reproductive rates, and the presence of natural habitats would make total elimination challenging. Additionally, ethical considerations and public backlash against such practices would likely deter many trappers from pursuing extinction.
