Okay, did some numbers using relics and a bit of fudging of numbers.

Assuming an ideal scenario and consistent numbers, 12 teams of 4 per academy (i'm also going to be generous and allow for two rounds of initiation, keep in mind this is all estimation) per year nets us 192 students per academy per year.

That's a total of 61,440 huntsman after 80 years.

Estimate 1/4 of those die in the field and the first 20 years worth of huntsman have retired and we're left with 30,720 still potentially active. Qrow mentioned there's a few bad eggs in the bunch so we'll rund that down to 30,000 to account for them.

30,000 huntsman if we are EXTREMELY generous.

To repeat my math:

Students per academy per year:

12 X 4 X 2 = 192

Students globally per year:

192 X 4 = 768

Huntsman globally after 80 years:

768 x 80 =61,440

Account for death and retirement:

61,440 / 2 = 30,720

Account for the less reputable huntsman:

30,720 - 720 = 30,000

I am being almost excessively generous here, though the number active may rise depending how much life extension the aura healing factor provides.
