Agreed....what does it matter which word one wants to use. Kill, harvest, take, it all has the same end result.....death. We are on top of the food chain just the way God intended! Get over it!

Nothing we do will ever make anti-hunters happy so why waste energy trying to please them. Yes I'm sure they vote, what makes you think they would vote for your right to hunt regardless? Bingo! The hunting world keeps getting more and more PC and PETA and the antis keep growing in numbers. Why should I try to please them? I won't. Anti-hunters are a small minority. Non-hunters are the vast majority. If you offend the non-hunters, you end up with more anti-hunters.
Exactly. I could care less about the anti-hunters. What I'm concerned about is the opinion of non-hunters. Many non-hunters support hunting from both a traditional sense as well as a biological necessity. Those are the people I don't go out of my way to offend and turn into anti-hunters. It isn't about being "politically correct," it is about not rubbing blood and gore in their faces.

If I go hunting in a open fence free range situation getting meat for my freezer and family I'm going to kill a deer. Buck or Doe whatever is 3.5 years old and big enough to justify paying the butcher.
If I go on a pay hunt where the deer are fenced in. If the cost of the hunt is decided by what you shoot the bigger it is the more it costs .It is still killing but you are harvesting something that someone has raised.You raise and harvest crops and only pick the biggest and best to sell. The not so pretty or big crops are culls for friends and family to eat.JMO It really makes no difference to me what someone else calls what they bring home from the field. My guess is most people use the term they were brought up using within thier family and circle of friends.
If you kill a cow or hog you do take it to the slaughter house not the harvest house.
Most guys on Tn deer kill or harvest a few deer.
There are a few that stand out from the rest that do go out and slaughter them and bring them home to finish the slaughtering 
After the slaughtering the eating or devouring starts

I guess I think differently. I don't give a crap what others are doing. I'm not offended by what other people do either. I don't encourage people to break laws or anything, but it's high time people mind their own business. And quit acting offended by what somebody else may enjoy doing.

If we keep inventing cute, PC phrases to substitute for what we do, where does it end? When do we start euthanizing instead of harvesting? At what point do we release them from life?
I strongly, quite strongly think it is time for us to take a stand and quit playing word games. I do not want non-hunters thinking I am making excuses for killing. Farmers don't.
Farmers do not harvest their chickens or hogs. They kill them. Why then should we sugar coat what we do? I absolutely refuse to use the word harvest in my columns, articles and books. I refer to the TWRA information as the kill report instead of what they call it. When I am sent a picture and someone says they "harvested" something, I change the word to kill.
Why use an incorrect term for a perfectly legitimate action? Let us all speak, write and act correctly.
I do not fear anti-hunters in the least. The group of hunters from which I believe we should be most concerned are hunters. They are the ones who will influence non-hunters.

You might want to buy a new, up-to-date dictionary.
The definition of harvest from Merriam-Webster's: "to gather, catch, hunt, or kill (as salmon, oysters, or deer) for human use, sport, or population control"

My girlfriend asked me "Did you catch anything?" when I left the club the other day. I said "No, I tried but those suckers are fast!". She was not amused.
