At our hunting club we tend to say "take/took" and "harvest" because, sort of like nothinspecial said it seems to portray more of a respect to the animal and to the animals creator. Also, in an attempt to be more politically correct we say this just because it is more friendly with the nonhunting community and it, in general, sounds more humble in my opinion.

Politically correct thats all......... I say SHOT or KILLED em. Who cares about bein correct, right?
I guess I care about being correct not for myself but for my future generations. The more friendly the hunting community seems, and the more ethical it seems to the anti-hunters, the less likely there are to be anti-hunting arguments. I guess I'm concerened for the future rather than for my self.

I went to Vietnam for two yearsand "Harvested" some dinks.
What's a dink? i hope you're not really talking about taking the lives of people and comparing it to taking a deer. i really hope that's not the case

Just like all this hoop da la about the Braves and the tomohawk chop, or the attempt to change the Redskins name because it was offensive to some idiot...
perhaps a native american was offended because after years of his ancestors suffering and being forced off land that was rightfully theirs he has to turn on the TV and see the tomahawk chop and people celebtrating native americans as if they are a mere mascot and had always been treated with respect with in reality it was quite the opposite? some idiot? its hard to judge someone until you walk in their shoes

I don't use "harvest", I say "take" or "kill". If anybody hearing it doesn't like it then tough titty, it is what it is.

EXactly. Sounds dumb doesn't it. Same process, same deal. If it's PC to say harvest in one case why not the other. Because it sounds stupid right. A dink is the same as gook, NVA, VC.. whatever. NO I'm not comparing it to killing a deer. Dinks could shoot back.

Not really, but it worked out that way. We also called him Charlie and Sir Charles. As in any war I guess we always seem to have a name Kraut, Raghead, Yankee, Rebels, Jap, Nip, Reds, . I guess anything to make them sound or seema little less human.

Maybe people are getting confused because many are growing deer nowadays.

I believe John McCain calls them Gooks.

Without getting into a jerry springerdebate, Davidmilmay have some feelings towardsthe VC's that we do not understand.He was there and and so were many others, and I don't care what John Kerry says, things happened on both sides that may not be PC, but may have been necessary for survival, Im sure Davidmil has memories he wishes he could forget, I don't really care what he calls the VC, they were the enemy and he was not. He was serving his country just as many are doing right now in a living hell. My hats off to you Davidmil, you have earned your right.

Do any of you fellows say cuss words? Do you say them in front of people that may be offended by them?

If certain words offend people, is it not considerate to limit their use when in the presence of people they may offend? Is there something wrong with being considerate of others?

He was with me and can tell you the story, it's much better getting it in person.
