"MY"???? Do you refer to an animal you've killed or haven't yet killed "Mine"?

[carpsniperg2]

If my tag is on it then its "my" animal. If it's running around then it is not "my" animal. May be one I am after but until my tag in on him then I don't call him mine

This is dumb - freaking ethic Nazis trying to dream up crap to be offended by.

You must be one of the guys who freak out when someone sits on or straddles an Elk and holds up the head for a picture too huh?

What is an "ethic" Nazi? 

If, by "you", you are referring to the OP (me) then no, I do not freak out, whatsoever.  "Someone" would not be offending at all.  They would look like, exactly what they are.  Offensiveness is unattainable.

I will call a buck "mine" in jest when talking to my wife (who also hunts) or friends.

[mtn.goat]

I guess to clarify, I'm not saying that it isn't yours or mine (especially once killed and tagged) as pointed out in various posts.  I am referring more pointedly toward the entitlement attitude that a deer or an elk is or was owed to me or you?  As in "I got my elk this year, did you get yours" as if I am entitled to "one" because I hunted, effort notwithstanding.

The post on "harvesting" got me questioning this type of swagger....  Maybe more so in "mixed" company, but even with only hunters listening to a given conversation.  Like someone here said "I got a buck or a dandy buck, this year/ last year"' what have you, vs. "I got my buck again this year" etc.  As if no matter the effort put forth I, you, we, should tag out every year?  We all know or have known slob/ road hunters to talk in this way, as they deserved every kill as made.... Should we all talk this way or?

No offence, but this topic is ridiculous.....

Yup. It's mine. I earned it and I tagged it with my tag. It's also in my freezer and on my wall. Why wouldn't it be mine? Try to take a deer from an angry bear, bet he thinks its his too. Not just "a" deer, but "his" deer.

I guess there must be nothing else better to talk about.

Disrespectful of the animal to call it mine! WTF are you talking about Willis?  Shooting one of God's beautiful creatures and not legally claiming it as mine would be impersonal and discraceful.  Guess this is the type of baloney correctness we get when we are led down a road to be apologetic to other countries for our strength.  And given the song and dance that this is not our country so illegal invaders are welcome and just renamed undocumented immigrants.

If you are offended by the use of the word "My" or "Mine" in regards to the legal harvest and consumption of wild game animals it's time you pull up your pants Nancy.  True American's kick ass.  We don't take it in the ass.  So why in the world would any God fearing, red blooded American who's fathers, grandfathers, brothers, sisters and ancestors protected this country with blood, sweat and ultimate sacrifice ever be offended by a such trivial thing.

If you want to be offended my something...be offended that the United States of America borrows money from socialist governments to send money to countries who hate us, who buy arms to be used against us, all in the name of diplomacy and equality, while men, women and children starve and freeze to death on American streets.  Worrying about whether I grammatically take personal possession of my legally harvest wild game...what a self indulging discrace.

Further more if you decide an animal I killed is yours instead of mine.  Plan on a good old fashioned ass whoopin'

Somebody's feeling fiesty  good post.

[Gunsmoke]

My house, my truck, my deer. I earned all of them.

[billythekidrock]

I would say "my 2005 bear" when speaking of past killsb but I hate it when I hear "get your deer yet"?

It is a peeve of mine when folks say "I need to get my deer" or "haven't got my deer yet" as if it is just sitting ou there waiting for them.

[big J]

really? theese threads are exactly why i don't post on here much. you all just trying to get your post count up or what. is it harvest or kill, is it yours, why is there no tag in that pic, you shot it from a road your unethical, you looked at a deer in my yard. WTF many of you seem to be quite the jealous whiners.

[boneaddict]

So what is the politically correct thing to say?   I filled my tag on your deer.

[jackmaster]

if you killed it, it becomes yours, if i killed it it becomes mine, when asked i have always said  'i got a deer" or "did you get a deer" here is somethn that will offend you, if your of arabic desent and female with that gown thing they wear, and your at the airport then you only get searched from the neck up, yet if your american your subject to a full on search......that should offend you

[boneaddict]

When the game warden asks if that is Your deer, and you say no, its A deer.   Let me know how that turns out for you.

or he asks why your tag is on that deer.
