unhunted

Left alone, prey-wise

Unhunted describes animals or areas that have not been subject to hunting.

An unhunted population of deer may grow beyond what the habitat can support.

Unhunted land serves as refuge for wildlife: The preserve remained unhunted for decades.

The word can also describe a state of being left alone, not pursued.
