It’s always fun trying to catch “the target species”, it’s always worthwhile putting the catch back if it isn’t wanted/needed but there’s never any reason why taking a feed, should be frowned upon.
Hunting, catching and dealing with the whole process to put a feed on the table is a noteworthy endeavour, long as we follow the rules of the day.
Getting a feed for a worthy person is never a Cheat or a bad thing.
I always load up on crays before Easter/Christmas and load up friends with a feed plus I try and give 2-4 crays to each Lollipop Person between my house and the kid’s school.
