One reason I know is that my area was having a thinning of the herd
hunt in a State Park right near a Veteran's Administration Home. The
thinners wanted to donate the venison to the VA and the VA had to,
regretfully, turn down the offer, though many of their vets would have
loved a chance to eat venison again. They made a complete explanation
in response to the public outcry about the meat being wasted.


Really? Here in Texas hunters donate their deer to food pantries...
