To preface, I am not a hunter, I just have questions, I 100% support hunting and question not a single motive. please don't take ANY of this as a snarky attack, that's not my style.

I don't hunt but I have a question for the hunters here. I understand killing a deer you can eat the meat and save the skin and all that. I know a bear you can so whatever (eat, stuff, keep head) Elk I would say you eat. What about fox, squirrel, wild bore, groundhog and all that. I see you can hunt that but I assume you don't eat it and do what, let it for nature to eat?

I am not all all questioning hunting, please don't think that is what I am getting at, I was just wondering if anything is done with such animals or is it just the thrill of the hunt and all that. Again, I 100% support your right to hunt but I know squat about it and have always wondered. Thanks!

Please don't make me regret asking, I am honestly curious.
