Kill. If it was a deer I raised on my farm with specific food plots and bedding areas set up to grow deer I would probably consider it harvesting.

Kill, because that is what it is. I even say kill when pulling something out of the garden because that is what is happening.  :dunno:

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.

 :yeah:
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

I usually I got my deer, shot it, tagged it. I guess in my opinion if you harvested your deer u either raised it, bought it's genetics, or high fenced it where someone else raised it.  Harvesting is for gardeners.

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"  :chuckle:

 :yeah:  Lol my daughter says the same thing and I go along with it but I think she's starting to realize I'm shooting and killing them. But my girlfriend will ask did you catch anything and I'll look at her and say are you fricking kidding me, I don't ever catch anything I kill them. But now she just does that crap to piss me off!  :bash:  :chuckle:

I just said this in another post  :chuckle:


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.

Murder: The unlawful killing of one human by another.

I hope you don't murder    :dunno:

 :sry:
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

You "harvest" a crop.
You "bag" groceries.
You "kill" a buck.   :mgun:

Hunting is a matter of life and death. No need to tiptoe around the reality. The deer dies. "You done gone off and kilt it."  :tup:
