I have to think when someone from the US says harvested relating to animals, that is where I think, the word killed, as harvesting here is referred to crops not animals.

Yes, most hunters prefer the term "harvesting," because it emphasizes the fact that they aren't hunting for sport, but to feed their families, many of whom are just above the poverty line. None of the animal is wasted - what the family doesn't eat is made into feed for their animals, many of which are working cattle dogs, livestock guardian dogs, etc.

Hunters prefer the term “harvesting” when it comes to deer as the deer population needs to be thinned in order to preserve the herds (thanks, in part, to encroachment of humans on their space, thus reducing their available livable territory). So they consider herd thinning “harvesting”. There are also limits set as to how many/what age/ what sex of deer can be taken.
