Harvest not kill?

[h20hunter]

I don't mean to be abrasive....however.....this is something I feel strongly about. My kids are not allowed to even jest that they "hate" each other. The are not allowed to say in jest "I'm going to kill you" to each other. They are allowed to play, be rough, get a few bumps and bruises and I'll be there for hugs and kisses if somebody takes a harder shot than usual. My son will shake your hand properly when being introduced and my daugher is beginning to learn the same things. Hunting and killing is right up there with something that should be done properly. It should be done with a clear intent. The intent is to kill your prey. Once it is dead you should take care of the harvesting. We are talking about hunting. Not some Call of Duty video game or what we see on the news. This is hunting and hunters kill.

Harvest is a good word because the animals we hunt should be looked at and viewed as a renewable resource just like timber and other "live" plants we all harvest. I know anti-hunters would rather view us a killers vs harvesters tho

Killing is serious stuff. It is heavy duty and should be taken that way.

  rifles, pistols, and bows are killing tools, I would freak if someone pointed one at me because it is designed to kill. 

I am not afraid if someone points a combine or apple ladder at me because they are designed to harvest.

hdshot, when it appears that the entire hunting community is not agreeing with you I think you got your answer.

What are you even talking about?


Hunters kill animals. We kill them with bullets fired from guns, arrows from bows.......

Once the animal is killed we harvest the meat, organs, hide, bones....etc.

If you want to start another thread about the states verbage then please, feel free. However, no matter what you do we still kill animals. Hunters have done that since they took a rock and brained the first critter and cooked it up.

You just have to donate some time and or hard earned money to habitat projects to understand to keep hunting alive.  I also was around on how this word kill was tossed around to ban hound hunting and baiting in this state.  Just seems like some old tricks could be used against us because I feel this state has the voting power to ban hunting.  Those hound and baiting bans passed easy. 

When I was talking about why the state wants the hunter to report and you don't what I'm talking about?  Man just wow, not good. This is worse than I thought.  Sorry being nice but I thought hunters had the very basics down more.  How does 1000bc hunters come to this?  That is the crap the gun control crowd uses.

All useless discussion. Start a new thread. Please tell me how, in a clear manner, how the bullet fired from a rifle does not kill an animal.

well it depends who's firing the bullet if its me I do it scare the crap out of them so I can harvest it for fuel like the Indians did with buffalo chips.  If I kill them I won't have any buffalo chips for my fire.

I need to find a good place to kill me some oysters, been craving some lately. mmMMMmm

I am tired of people saying that we need to be politically correct. Call it what you want and let me call it what I want.

Killing is what u say to your hunter friends and harvest is what u say in front of people who dont hunt ,But yes u did kill it,for food i hope.

[hardrichard]

first off you harvest a damn tree or a box of fruit. If your a hunter then killing is part of the lifestyle, am not saying that we hunters get off on killing game but you cant grill it till you kill it. if you want to harvest something go harvest a flavored coffee and watch Oprah

Humans need to get back in touch with stopping a beating heart to eat. It's only nature.

Hunter reports are to tell the basic story on what is alive and to help hunter success in scouting.  As you can see there is a complete break down because no one understands what the reports are about.  Reports are not about you and your bullet.  I believe word kill is causing a lot of confusion and gives the wrong idea because the anti's love that word.  If people don't want to get off their chair and be better than anti's, then just say you don't want to educate yourself and call it useless is your choice.

I'm confused. That made very little to no sense to me. 

[h20hunter]

I'm far from unedumacated. You refuse to answer direct questions. How is it that when a bullet is shot from a gun it does not kill the animal. The animal gets killed and then the usable parts are harvested. Simple as that. Kill and harvest have two defeintions. What the anti's love, in my unedumacated opinion is hunters trying to pretend we don't kill animals.

[Ccortez]

Don't we have to kill an animal in order to harvest it?? 

[h20hunter]

There is only one person in this discussion that is confused about the word kill.
