As long as they eat the venison...who cares??????

It won't be, it's trophy hunting. I don't care for it, personally. Hunting for food is one thing, taking a life for a stuffed, mounted animal hide is another.

There are "hunters" down here who will shoot a buck, saw off the rack, cut out the tenderloin and leave the carcass where it fell to rot. That, imho, is disgusting and wrong, and for similar reasons.

Honor the life, use the meat and as much of the animal remains as possible. Dispose of what's left in a respectful manner, both for the creature and for the neighbors who don't particularly want to have to clean up animal remains dragged up into their yards repeatedly.

Eating the venison implies taking the edible off the carcass.

I don't see where they said they won't eat the meat.

The place I used to take deer for butchering used to ask if you wanted the hide preserved for a trophy mount. In fact they have a 16 point full body mount inside the door that one of my friends gave them. My friend couldn't afford to have it processed so they took the hide in payment.
