Well, in my game, sure. How is it respectful to leave the corpse to rot?
However, the question in my mind is: how did they know they'd failed? Unless they have Second Sight, how do they know the animal's spirit is still present?
I really like the suggestion from a previous digest that the animal's
spirit will now haunt either the bumbling hunter, or the spot, driving
away other game until appeased. It wouldn't help to leave the corpse
to rot, in this scenario -- but the hunter might want to give it to
the local shaman in exchange for a quick exorcism.
