I think you are combining poaching with hunting on a game reserve.

Poaching is illegal and makes the news when it is done for things like ivory. In those cases the poachers will leave the animal because they are trying to get away quickly with the ivory.

Hunting on a game reserve is private land. The owner lets you come on his land and gives you a price sheet of all the animals you can shoot and how much you will pay. The owner also provides a guide to go with you to make sure that you follow all of the rules. I am pretty sure that the guide will arrange for the animal butchered if the hunter doesn't want the meat.
If they leave the meat in the bush it is because the reserve wants it that way, not because they are lazy.
