Harvest or Kill...

[bullets13]

I use the term kill. But if i were going to differentiate, I'd harvest an animal that i'm going to eat. I'll kill an animal I'm not. So I could harvest a deer, but kill a coyote? That said, I'm going to say "I killed a buck this morning" not "I harvested a buck this morning".

This is even more debated than these members who post too big of pictures.

We’re good. I actually shrank it down twice to post after the first save. It looked ok on my 24... a pic the other day of brisket looked like a shot from a microscope it was so big...[emoji23][emoji23][emoji1787]

I don’t cater to snowflakes, pc addicts, people with weak stomachs, etc.
I kill deer, hogs, doves, quail, pheasant, etc.
I really don’t even use the term harvest being my garden is only a half acre or so. So I just pick whatever I grow!!

Not any big time survey, but over the years I’ve sat around a lot of hunting campfires. I have never heard anyone say “This morning I harvested that eight point I’ve been after” or “I harvested an old dry doe by the big lake” or “I harvested five quail from three coveys”, etc. I usually hear I “killed” or “shot” various critters. Folks also don’t harvest fish, they catch ‘em. Just me, but saying “I harvested” a critter sounds a little like I am ashamed or embarrassed of what I did, which I am not. Look in a mirror and smile. See those pointy teeth under your eyes? Don’t ever let the word “harvest” pass through them unless you are speaking of crops.

I think you covered it very well and I totally agree!

Interesting observation 3chord. Thinking back I can't remember ever hearing someone speak the word harvest in relation to killing an animal. I can only remember reading it. Why is that?

Me too. I tore up too many bows doing it the other way.[emoji1787]

You can call it kill or harvest, really doesn’t matter... I took my 2020 deer with a bow and it helped feed my family. I hunt.

[critter69]

It’s both, I don’t understand the big deal. I look at it like, if you are feeding them, know them by name, watch them grow, until you or some one tells you it’s ok to shoot them, have trail cam pictures of them over the years, know how old they are. I don’t see any difference between that and raising crops to harvest when you decide it’s time. You are eating both ( hopefully). You are basically doing the same thing with them. You have to kill crops and animals in order to consume them. Kill, harvest take your pick. Harvest sounds better to the masses. But the out come is exactly the same.

I kill deer, harvest vegetables

Must plant something to harvest !
Kill means to put an end to its life.
Harvest plants
Kill animals
