And as an addendum to the site setting influencing the number of slaves caught, the number of slaves caught influences the unrest generation.

Thus, while I haven't run tests, I'm guessing 3 hunters with max sites will likely spike your unrest into the stratosphere at 0 tax, while 3 hunters under 0 sites will probably only bump it up on exceptional turns and it will return to 0 shortly thereafter. It's possible that LA default sites mean 3 hunters is more optimal while EA causes the unrest to grow. Other minor factors are if you're hunting with B1's with rods or B2+ with rods, as that adds another 10% chance of failure, etc. I guess the best advice is just to run a test game with your nation and site settings for the game in question and see what works. Blood hunting has a lot of moving parts, but in the end is mostly a game of averages.
