I hadn't seen my post in a few days, it has grown. In reading over the three new pages of replies it came to me what it is about "harvest" that puts me off a bit.

To me it seems like the person saying it while refering to a kill is, well, a bit ashamed of being a hunter. I am not. I am proud that I got my boys and nephew and brother-in-law into hunting also.

I am not into someone's face about any of this, it is just the way that I feel. With non hunters I do probably say "got" but if they say something anti-hunting in nature I talk about the good hunting does, and the history of man and that not hunting is unnatural. (Keep in mind that if someone is an animal rights, PETA or ALF, type I do not speak with them at all. I do not speak to crazy people, they are dangerous.)

I had a clerk at a convenience store, knowing I was heading to deer camp, ask me if I would shoot Bambie, I answered, "Yes I would, and I would shoot Bambi's mother or little sister too."
