The key word is "Help". Are donated calories good for needy families? Almost surely yes. Are deer (and other wildlife) essentially zero maintenance? Also yes. And will people _pay_ to hunt them, then donate the food for free? I do!
There's no downside here - so yes, I believe it can 'help'.
700kc/lb is probably right, but I got ~50 lbs off my last deer ~= 35,000. Still order of magnitude, you're right.
However, there's no need to just hunt where you live. I travel to two different remote parts of my state where deer problems are worst - again, at my own expense because I enjoy it. That "Free transportation of calories" shouldn't be ignored either.
