Harvest doesn’t annoy me if the person saying it isn’t deliberately going out of their way to be PC. Hunting is basically a way of harvesting from nature, be it hunting for morels or hunting for venison but I’ve never used the word harvest when hunting.
I say Killed, shot, or got.

I harvest by killing.
From Meriam Webster's
harvest verb harvested; harvesting; harvests 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
The verb harvest indicates that I am not just killing, but also dressing the game and collecting the hide, fur, skull, antlers, and meat for use. I see people that just "kill" coyotes without harvesting them. They leave them for dead. Gut shoot a deer and have it run away and die days after you gave up looking for it. You killed. You didn't harvest it. Seems like you are going to great lengths. Ya can't do any of the subsequent before you kill it! Then you can skin, dismember, and burn its flesh. A very special pig! Farmer Jones got out of his car and while heading for his friend's door, noticed a pig with a wooden leg. His curiosity roused, he ask, "Fred, how'd that pig get him a wooden leg?" "Well Michael, that's a mighty special pig! A while back a wild boar attacked me while I was walking in the woods. That pig there came a runnin', went after that boar and chased him away. Saved my life!" "And the boar tore up his leg?" "No he was fine after that. But a bit later we had that fire. Started in the shed up against the barn. Well, that ole pig started squealin' like he was stuck, woke us up, and 'fore we got out here, the darn thing had herded the other animals out of the barn and saved 'em all!" "So that's when he hurt his leg, huh, Fred?" "No, Michael. He was a might winded, though. When my tractor hit a rock and rolled down the hill into the pond I was knocked clean out. When I came to, that pig had dove into the pond and dragged me out 'fore I drownded. Sure did save my life." "And that was when he hurt his leg?" "Oh no, he was fine. Cleaned him up, too." "OK, Fred. So just tell me. How did he get the wooden leg?" "Well", the farmer tells him, "A pig like that, you don't want to eat all at once." I guess one could de-nut a male animal of a species or take the claws off crustaceans. Wonder how many ways of "Harvesting" meat there is without first 'killing"? Quien Sabe, GWB

And yet so many use the word harvest here. Read the hunt reports. For the record, I killed 4 this year.
The way life should be.

Kill. Harvest is for farmers and lardassssed lawyers behind small'ish high fenced places.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Don't think I have ever harvested anything. Never hear the term here.
I have picked and cut corn, cut and baled hay, we combined oats and wheat. Killed a bunch of deer, cows, pigs, chickens and some turkeys. Raised meat rabbits as a kid. Killed them too.
Harvest sounds citified and high falooten.

When there are so many "hunters" these days who raise deer like a crop of farm animals, I'm surprised there is an objection to using the word "harvest" once they've been fed, photographed, passed up and allowed to age enough to finally produce a good set of antlers. This seems particularly odd coming from a Texan.

When my youngest daughter was a litte tyke would see me heading out to go hunting, she'd say, "daddy, catch me a big un". Now she's grown and is 5 years into her military career she wants to know if I've killed a good one yet.

Kill. Harvest is for crops or domesticated deer running behind a fence.
You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.

When I head out hunting the intent to be succesful is for something to die -- so I have killed whatever.
