RE: Kill or Harvest?
I took the liberty of going to Webster on this subject. Here is what I found;
Harvest - 1. The act or process of gathering a crop. 2. The crop that ripens or is gathered in a season. 3. The amount or measure of the crop. (There is more, but it never makes mention of any animal or livestock) Crop - (I put this one in since one could possibly argue deer can be a crop) 1. Cultivated agricultural plants, as grain, vegetables, or fruit. 2. The total yield of agricultural produce in a given season or place. (goes on, but never mentions livestock as a crop) Kill - 1. To put to death. 2. To deprive of life. (Again, there is more, but this definition never mentions anything about a crop or harvest) Hunt - (this is the icing on the cake. Pay close attention to #6) 1. To pursue (game) for food or sport. 2. To seek/look for. 3. To search through, as for game or prey. 4. To utilize hounds in pursuing game. 5. To drive out forcibly. 6.To pursue game or other animals in order to capture or kill them. So, it looks like, if you'd like to be grammatically correct, you only have one choice on this subject, and it is to use the word "Kill". |

RE: Kill or Harvest?
ORIGINAL: MichaelT. Farmers harvest their crops......I kill deer !!! Always have -- Always will. I make no apologies for my hunting ! God gave me the animals of the world to use, and if it is ok with God then it is ok with me. Because I answer to no man, but to our Heavenly Father. God did not invent political correctness, man did. BTW - If we, "the hunters", do not have a backbone and stand up for ourselves and what we believe in, then who will? If you, the people who hunt,can't say what you do ( kill ) honestly and without apologizing, then we have already lost " the fight ". Good Hunting God Bless |
RE: Kill or Harvest?
Yes the english language is full of words to express the same thing, but that is not what the author of this thread was talking about. Go back and re-read the original post of this thread. The author references the anti-hunters, and saying harvest to keep them off our backs. That is the proper context, and when you use the word harvest in that context, it is apologetic.

RE: Kill or Harvest?
MY Webster's dictionary also gives these three:
Harvest: 1) the quantity of a natural product gathered in a single season 2) the product or reward of exertion 3) to win by achievement My dictionary ALSO has a defintion for another word: TACT When your 7 yr old asks where babies come from.....do you tell 'em you were *%^&$ing her mama and she got pregnant. Cause.....that's what happened! Don't hold back! Jeff |

RE: Kill or Harvest?
ORIGINAL: gzg38b If I'm talking to non-hunters I'll say"I got" or "I took". If I'm talking to hunters I'll say "I killed" or "I shot". Depends on the audience. |

RE: Kill or Harvest?
I get so fed up with this polictically correct B.S. It seems like no matter what we say or do, someone will be offended. It is what it is. I am a hunter, not no dang farmer, being a hunter, I kill, sugar coat it all you want. Taking a life of an animal is killing, so be it and accept it for what it is. I'm proud of what I do and what I am, therefore, I call it what it is, without apology.
Bobby ps. No I did not vote |
RE: Kill or Harvest?
You have to kill anything to harvest it.
