Harvest not kill?

[stringer]

What if you were to tranquilize it, harvest the hair with your shears, then let it go to grow again?  Or would it die a slow death before it grew it's hair back?  Is there a biologist out there?   Because if it couldn't survive  it would be harvesting and then killing.... inhumane death..  Why not kill it first, then harvest the hair... oh, but I don't kill... so now...  befuddled... torn twixt smiting, smoting, killing, harvesting,  woe is me

HDSHOT,

I just hope you know that while several of us poked some fun, we did it in good humor (at least I tried to).

No big deal to have a difference of opinion......   Some of us just get bored and like to poke a little fun.

 Certainly, no offense meant.

Wow! This thread is still alive.  2014 is definitely starting out to be a slow year.

No, just using facts what hunting is about, the hunter who is being roasted on here.  If poking fun at me, just wasting your time, just don't know, or care. Same as if you tell the teacher 2+2=4 and then I bash you for being wrong how would you feel?  Hunters are the first to use conservation but today that means being politically correct.  Having pride in donating money to save habitat to keep our sport alive and well must be trying to be politically correct.  Obvious we have forgotten our history how much hunters have had to conserve from the past to have what we have today and we poke fun at them for that.  If they just killed the way Olympia thinks, we would of had no wildlife decades ago. 

Nothing I can do about it but that is how today's hunters has failed, fooled into thinking what hunters do is just a smoke screen.

Man killed animals for food and shelter long before any PC wishywashy harvest vs. kill debates came out.

If you end somethings life you have killed it. Bottom line.

We manage whether herd of deer or trees in the forest.  Why does the state even want reports on their animals?  That's right the bottom line is to manage herds.  Not to manage that 1 deer, 1 elk, or 1 bear a hunter legally takes.  Just a basic scale because more animals bagged then herds are healthy and less bagged then herds are low to help set seasons in the future.  But this state seems to use verbage to put out statistics to show X-amount deer killed to the non hunting public to get their heart bleeding.  Sorry my heart won't bleed because hunters have more purpose than that and we should know better.

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.

Your own words....very first post:

Why is the word kill used because that is a word to describe an illegal act in most cases?  Hunters don't kill, we harvest legal as if the animal was like a berry we pick in the summer as example.     


The word kill is most certainly not used to describe an illegal act in most cases. I killed a fly. I killed a deer. Kill the lights. You are killing me. If anything the word kill is used to describe completely legal acts in most cases.

Since I'm on a roll I'll tell you what is wrong with the word harvest. Maybe this will drive home the point that saying harvest does to the act of hunting. When I talk to my son I want him to use the word kill. He isn't harvesting some corn or picking berries with mommy. He is taking a life. He is depriving that animal of its next breath. He is making sure that animal will not see the sun come up again or smell fall in the air. Killing is serious stuff. It is heavy duty and should be taken that way. They day my son says oohh daddy can we harvest a deer will be a sad day.

This is almost as funny as when I've been out hunting and someone asks me if I caught anything.
