Harvest, by literal definition according to Webster's Dictionary, mean the taking of crops. People using "harvest" when talking about killing an animal are worse than the ones that use "Smoked 'Em".
        Yeah, Texas Parks and Wildlife uses the term.....what do they know.

              Probably dont matter anymore, supposedly hunting is on the decline. The news media, game warden shows and peta have done a good job of providing the general public a view of a "hunter".

                That and the Deer Farmers spreading CWD will eventually end big game hunting

                  Straight from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary:

                  Definition of harvest (Entry 2 of 2)

                  transitive verb

                  1a : to gather in (a crop) : reap
                  //harvesting corn

                  b : to gather, catch, hunt, or kill (salmon, oysters, deer, etc.) for human use, sport, or population control

                  c : to remove or extract (something, such as living cells, tissues, or organs) from culture (see culture entry 1 sense 3) or from a living or recently deceased body especially for transplanting

                      Not trying to be a smart ***, but who cares what you call it? Some people are more comfortable calling it one thing or another. At the end of the day, if they are comfortable with it, why does anyone else care?

                        As far as harvesting, I prefer to use the term harvesting instead of killing.
                        Harvesting an animal at its peak of ripeness before it dies on its own.
                        To me, all high fence hunting is not created equal.

                              Coming from a generation that can't write in cursive or tell time on an analog clock, adding "Harverst" to include hunting/killing deer makes sense.


                              If you don't spend most of your time on the internet, it can be hard to keep up with the evolving lingo of the digital age. Luckily, the editors at Merriam-Webster have done the hard work of keeping track of the most important new terms to know: The American institution has added over 840 new words to its dictionary, many of which didn't exist a couple of decades ago.

                              Readers fluent in internet-speak will be familiar with many of the entries on the list, and there are also plenty of new words that are specific to the tech world. Not every word that's new to the dictionary is necessarily new to language; Merriam-Webster now includes some culinary terms that have been around for a while, and the new list also features abbreviations of common words. Check out a sample of the new entries below.

                              1. BOUGIE (ADJ.)
                              Short for bourgeois, this term means "Marked by a concern for wealth, possessions, and respectability."
