Things like deer and rabbits: knock yourself out! I mean, don't devastate the population unless you want to have a plot of Enchanted Forest people taking notice, and be prepared for some of them to turn out to be extra-smart and be good at evading or yell at the wolves for rudeness or whatever. (You can still eat the extra-smart ones as far as I'm concerned, of course. Other Enchanted Forest critters do!)
Things like unicorns: also knock yourself out, but be prepared for the fact that they've got pretty good defenses. If a unicorn or two turns up dead from wolves, hey, circle of life, and the person who finds it can sell powdered unicorn horn to magic-workers who like that kind of thing. If it starts becoming a thing, people are going to take notice faster than they would for a lot of dead rabbits, though. (I'm totally willing to have that plot -- I don't want to do a lot of NPCing the king and queen and whatever detective-folks of the forest, but I'm happy to have Kazul be like WHOEVER'S KILLING UNICORNS, CAN YOU KNOCK IT OFF, YOU'RE MAKING THE REST OF THEM REALLY ANNOYING AND PISSING OFF MY FRIEND MENDANBA -- but fyi.)
