Good morning,
I am a self taught hunter so I apologize if the answer to my question is common wisdom.
Is it unethical to leave the hide of an animal if I have no desire to use it?
I do 100% of my hunting solo and I have yet to harvest an elk but plan on doing so this season.
I don’t want to waste anything but at the same time I don’t want to carry whatever extra 40 pounds of hide having no plans (or skill) to use it.
With that being said I’d rather carry it out if that is the right thing to do.
Thanks for any insight.
