This is my share of the kill - meaning

Hi all, what does "this is my share of the kill" mean in the sentences:"People are people. It is true today, it was true ten years ago, and it was probably not much different ten thousand years before that: “After all I did to put this hunt together and make it a success, this is my share of the kill? You call that fair?!".
Could you transform it/ simplify it?
It's from Stone Douglas's book called "Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most."
Thank you guys in advance.

Okay. I get the meaning. It's probably said here that the author has made a great prepare of work by collecting several ideas and organize them in that book.
But could you tell me what it means:" You call that fair?!" It seems to me that it's a slang but I don't know the meaning.
Thank you ver much.
