Yea, my family is big into deer hunting, and they use the "harvest" euphemism, too, mostly when talking to non-hunters. It makes the deed sound more pleasant, but it really is not the correct word. You "harvest" crops that you have previously "planted" and "cultivated." In most states that I know of that allow deer hunting, it is illegal to breed the deer or feed them, so there's no concept of planting or cultivation that would support using "harvest."
