Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do you kill or harvest?

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.

Killed. Often hammered as well.

Take - as in take their life, aka kill

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,

kill

Kill.

I think you know.

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

He shoulda stayed home.

Kill. Harvest is for farmers and lardassssed lawyers behind small'ish high fenced places.

kilt it.

Reduced to possession a friend of mine would say.

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.

I FUGK!

LOL

I'm a Hunter, there for I Kill Stuff!

Kill. Harvest is for crops or domesticated deer running behind a fence.

Two thumbs up for the murder you did to the English language.

LOL

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