BDC I hear that one all the time.

My response is usually "Nope, but I killed a big one."

The reason I asked this question is put into perspective by several of the responses;

"It depends on who I'm talking to."

Those are the responses that make me think that the term harvest is replacing the word kill as a more politically correct way of saying things. People are doing it to protect others, namely the non-hunting/anti-hunting crowd.

I feel no reason to say harvest to protect anyone's feelings. I do what I do and I'm not ashamed of it, nor will I try to hide it or cover it up with a differentword.
