What kind of animals are being hunted? If they're small animals such as cavies or ducks, then they're probably too small to yield any usable meat and are thus being ignored by your butcher.

Peregrine falcons and opossums are both very small creatures - the former will never yield any meat (maximum body size is only 600), while the latter will only rarely yield any meat (maximum body size 3000, compared to cats which are 5000).

Looking further, this is a duplicate of 0000874.
