Do trophy hunters use all the resources of the animal they kill?

Trophy Hunters

Generally speaking, 'trophy hunters' are just that. Out for the trophy (Antlers, Head, Etc.) Trophy Hunters are not necessarily going out to kill the animal for the meat, but are instead killing for fun, and wanting to display the feat. Hince the term 'trophy'.

• While that might be true for big game hunters, I know many who hunt small game and deer in this area and hope to get a good set of antlers or a head to display when hunting deer. However, I know of absolutely none who do it just for fun and to get the head or rack. Every one of them either eats the meat themselves or shares it with others who eat it.

Hunting is a highly skilled sport and not "fun" like most people think of fun. It is also necessary to keep animal populations in check.

ANSWER


animals in africa such as elephants were and are hunted simply for their tusks and no they dont use the rest, the simply leave the carcase or in some cases still live animal. some are trophy hunters and some are doing it for money from the tusks.(mostly money) but usually the animal is hunted so much it is or becomes in danger of extinction and that is where the real problems lie.

there are different kinds of hunting, hunting for food, hunting for trophys and hunting for 'tradition' as is said by fox hunters along with its for population and wildlife as is said by farmers.

hunters have been saying it is for population check, but the age old question has always been, 'well why dont you just round them up and have them all euthanized' instead of having a dog tear them to pieces while alive, or shooting them to death or whatever
its certainly not boring to watch like euthanasia is it?

football is defined as sport ,it is fun,
baseball is defined as sport, it is fun,
any type of thing defined as sport, is fun, all except hunting, maybe its time to call it something else if the people who do it dont want to be confused with people who enjoy what they are doing

hunting for food is natural, even hunting for fun is indeed natural,
society as usual likes to tell us no we cant do that its wrong and even our own moral concience, we all know in ourselves what is right and what is wrong.

ANSWER

Here in Canada, it is illegal to not use the meat from a meat bearing animal (moose, deer, etc) and to not use the fur from a fur bearing animal (bear, cougar, etc). Many hunters will use both the fur and meat of the animal, although more so in the case of fur bearers.
