I kill deer, ducks, grouse, geese, snipe, rabbits, fish and shellfish every year. I harvest tomatoes and buy the rest of my vegetable matter from he store.
I enjoy killing and eating deer the most.
Personally I believe we should call it what it is....killing....it is what we really do. It also puts a deer on the level of a tomato in terms of "specialness", for lack of a better term. Why are hunters of all people afraid to call it what it really is?

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.

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.

I have converted 3 of them this year alone. Honestly, most of them are highly educated, just sheltered and mis informed city dwellers with no concept of where food comes from. Most of them believe we kill animals and just take the "trophy" souvenir horns. I could see where someone would get that impression based on all the hunting TV hero shows out there.....none of them show any gutting, butchering or meat care, or other 'dirty work' whatsoever.

harvest is more PC
LOL, I think I said, "Hey I got a deer." last year after I called up my uncle to tell him. This year I am switching to, "I murdered that sumeb..."

Kill.... I don't use a rifle, shotgun, bow, ect, to harvest my corn...
And if I did my wife would be pissed!!

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....

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:

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:
Post by: jaymark6655 on November 26, 2012, 05:04:20 AM
That's the noun. As a verb it means: to kill or slaughter inhumanly or barbarously.I just said this in another post :chuckle:

You and I, may, or may not, agree with his philosiphy or path in life and the countless fools he's nurtured, but it needs to be read and known by hunters everywhere. You might be pleasently, or not, surprised with his "upbringing".
"In earnest. There lies the key to the ethical issue. Earnestness. Purpose. That sly sophist Ortega y Gasset wroth, somewhere, that "one kills in order to have hunted." Not good enough. Thoreau would say, one kills in order to eat. The killing is justified by the need and must be done in a spirit of respect, reverence, gratitude. Otherwise hunting sinks to the level of mere fun, "harvesting animals," divertissement, sadism, or sport. Sport!" E. Abbey
Personnally I like to raise the hackels of some "anti's" as well, but this does not have any upside for our future! I do it, only when ALL the ears are known to me, for fun. For Fun. Harvest will never come from my mouth in the pursuit of any wild creature. Harvesting is for gardens and things that are not free, nor have free will, nor are the Wild we pusue in "Earnest". :twocents:

my favorite term is, the one used by most female non hunters i know, they like to say catch, did ya catch a deer, lol. i like to say, yeah, i did, i caught one, took a picture with it, then pulled the bullet out, patched him up and released him. :chuckle:
Post by: actionshooter on November 26, 2012, 09:12:12 PM
I seem to use the "whack" terminology.
I tell my wife "I'm gonna go whack a critter"
"whacked" is past tense (like the animal is dead)
I won't go into present tense, "whacking" , this is a family site :chuckle:

I'll say harvest if talking to a non-hunter. Otherwise shot, arrowed, bagged, dumped, dropped, slammed, whacked, or killed.
:yeah:
Post by: Wildsau on November 27, 2012, 10:31:14 AM
When talking to a non-hunter, perhaps the, newer, terminology should be what I am reading on this forum a lot; "give them a "Dirt Nap"". I, myself, am just trying to find one so I can convince them to come home with me. :twocents:
