I come from a family of hunters and seeing all the pics of their kills is really too bad. You get a clear sense that they are going for exotic animals that won't get used for much other than to be stuffed for show. To these people it is fine though, thats how their surroundings have shaped them to be and its something they do.

I know some teenage to adult women that will hunt, skin and clean many Albertan animals, but the animal is always killed and used in the proper ways.

I have a freezer full of elk and deer as we speak, it is quite delicious, and when it gets depleted we will fill it back up.

My brother and dad went hunting in South Africa, killed some deer species and a wild boar. Every bit of the meat and body got used up by the group and some accompanying tribes. If you set it up right, it gets consumed and is not wasteful.

*additional note: bear is a very hard animal to eat, the fat and connective tissue is hard to deal with.
