I've used both harvest and kill when talking about deer hunting. Probably about equally. I know the some hunters really don't like the word harvest, but it doesn't bother me a bit.
Now MY pet peeve is when people call antlers "horns". They are not horns people! Cattle have horns.Yeesh. Guess I can live with it though. LOL!!!!!!!! See, we all have speech patterns that annoy us individually. Oh well, it's the differences among us that are the spice of life, eh?
