Back when I was a youth I ran a trapline and took coyotes, fox, bobcat, coons and muskrats. Just kept the pelt, never the meat. The only animal I have shot while hunting that wasn't eaten was a Vaal Rhebok in South Africa. This is a small species of antelope only found in a small region of RSA and they are filled with parasites. I did not know that until I took one and the PH said it was the only antelope they would not eat. He sliced open a hindquarter after it was skinned for a lifesize mount and the meat was full of worms. He said it didn't bother them but that nothing except buzzards will eat one. Had I known that I would not have taken the animal.
You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!
