Hunting isn't purely done for fun, it is also done to harvest meat
and ecological conservation
Absolutely, the biggest nature lovers in my family are all hunters, they enjoy being in the woods, they enjoy seeing animals, they follow the rules to only harvest as much they are allowed and only during the season permitted.
In my country it's mostly done for fun.
So people go out, shoot a deer and just leave it there?
Seems like an extreme waste to me...
It's usually not that much extra effort to take the carcass and bring it to a butcher, so they do that sometimes. But yeah. Often, just leave it.
It's actually not all that bad because we have a lack of natural predators (because we already hunted them almost to extinction) so hunting keeps the deer population from exploding.
Ok, so they also do make a good deed in adition to just hunting.
More like helping fix a problem they caused in the first place, but yeah.
