IF?
I was raised to hunt by a genuine born and raised in the mountains of West Virginia moon shine making/drinking hillbilly grandfathter who learned to hunt with muzzle loaders. He was far more conservation minded than anyone I have met since, including wild life management professionals.
The first thing about hunting (not gun safety that's a separate topic) is that if you kill it you eat it, period. To kill something without eating it is the lowest form of behavior possible in hunting ethics. The exception was only for inedible (coyotes which were shot for good reason) or diseased (rabbits with liver flukes) animals.
If you tear it up, you make stew. But you eat it. Hopefully that is not an uncommon ethic.
