The hunter posting pictures with his catch is probably much like the fisherman with his pics. Nothing more, nothing less.

It's the same thing. The fish/deer is your trophy. No different than holding a trophy for a basketball tournament or bringing a hot girl with you to a high school reunion. It's still being done to satisfy an urge to feel better about one's self. The difference being that hunting is at the expense of an animal's life. Like I said, there is nothing wrong with it, it's human nature. I just don't buy the whole "it's just for comraderie or food" description.
