Sometimes that is the case, it's a better trophy IMO.

Other times there is an over-abundance of prey who need culling in order to preserve the foliage, due to a shortage of natural predators. If this wasn't done then the prey would make certain ferns and stuff go extinct, but mainly just eat all the food - then starve and die. If that happened there wouldn't be enough carrions - though the carrions there is would Feast and both the uneaten rotten carcasses and the endemic carrions may spread disease to rangers, hikers, and hunters.

Also, an ecosystem having mass die-off from starvation and seeing dead carcasses everywhere wouldn't be great to look at and isn't the most environmentally friendly thing (plant/grass growth takes Co2 out of the atmosphere and decay releases methane).

Ecological management is a complex issue and isn't as simple as the leftist media has made everyone think it is.

Even 'trophy hunting' isn't as unethical as we're made to think - it supports carrions, foxes, wolves, etc. and also ecosystem management through fees during hunting season (same as fish season, they only kill a specified type/amount/age of animal), and those guys who work at stuffing animals and making rugs and stuff - there's skilled labourers dependant on hunters for their livelihood and it cuts down on fake Chinese fur imports.
