Like others have said, EVERY hunter I know processes his deer and either keeps the venison himself, or donates it to foodshelves.
The ONLY times I have not kept the meat, was when the deer was eaten by predators overnight, and the one time we gutted out a deer that was full of black tumors and pus. We actually called our local warden and told him we did that, and he came and picked up the deer for analysis.
