Free: Contests & Raffles.
Kill.... I don't use a rifle, shotgun, bow, ect, to harvest my corn...
Sometimes I say "I harvested a state raised free range deer". Most of the time I say "I got a deer", or " I shot a deer", ect....To me "harvest" is more fitting because it comes with the thoughts of using and eating what was harvested."killed" is more in line with carp, rats, moles, mice, coyotes, ect..... Those critters that you kill with no real intent on using them.But either is fine for me. Seems a bit like splitting hairs. In the end its dead, and I'm going to eat it.
when my daughter was young she could not except that when i went hunting i would kill a deer , so she would say "daddy I hope you catch a deer". So when ever I go hunting now I try to "catch a deer"
I just said this in another post I say Kill, Killin, Kilt, Bloodlust, Slaughter, Stuck, Shot, Murder, Mayhem, Destroy, All the above. Never say harvest...ever. We all call it and deal with things differently. I work in Oregon with a bunch of tree hunggin hippies , so I like messin with people and tell them if I don't get the Bloodlust out of my system during hunting season I'm gunna have go slaughter all the animals in a pet store...They get all twisted up about me saying that...I find it funny they get twisted up. they all like the deer meat I bring in though, odd how that works.
