Mostly de Veluwe. Though exact locations are kept secret to protect the wolves.

Very little I'd think. Getting a weapons permit and a weapon can be a bit of a bitch. And hunting itself is rather limited in when and what and how much you can hunt.

In the Netherlands hunting wolves is illegal, and I think that ban comes from the EU, so Germany probably can't hunt them. We recently got wolves in our country as wel (they came from Germany). It's the return of a natural predator that should've been in our ecosystem all along. Plenty of people are still mad about it though.

Sure, you can do that. However, to really estimate how often that happens, we need to know the mass of individual bits/particles of dark matter.

Depends on what you mean with "on Earth". We don't have an invisible mountain of dark matter somewhere on the planet. Considering it doesn't act on electromagnetism, it doesn't really collide, for the most part it would just go through Earth. But yes, dark matter is expected to be present in the solar system, though in tiny amounts. So occasionally some dark matter will go through Earth. How much is unknown, we'll need to a good understanding of what particles make up dark matter.
> If yes why have we not been able to study it
We try, but it's rather difficult due to it no interacting (often) with detectors.

Yeah, crush up the seeds of certain kinds of grasses, mix it well with some water, add some heat, and you have the simplest kind of bread. Of course, it won't be a nice fluffy (you'll need fungi farts for that) bread with a crispy crust, but it's bread.
