Livestock doesn't go to the harvest floor does it?
Harvest grain, pick fruit, collect eggs, catch fish, trap crustations, but I'm not sure what you call it when you're harvesting clams, mussels, or oysters.
Harvesting wild animals sounds more PC than killing them.

IMHO, words mean things.
In my world one harvests crops.
Game is killed.
It peeves me to no end when I hear a "hunter" say he "harvest's game.
Your thoughts?
GWB Harvest is a .gov favourite...the rest of creation kills.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

GW; Good evening my southern friend, I hope the day was a good one for you folks and that all in your fine family are well. Indeed I've long held that words matter, which is why we need to pay attention to all sorts of aspects of our written and spoken communications. We had a neighbor who was a fairly strict vegan, but was okay with folks hunting to get their protein as she felt it was an honest way to go about it. She couldn't seemingly bring herself to ask if I'd killed anything, but would often ask in her wonderful Swiss accent if I'd "caught anything yet hunting". When teaching the Hunter Safety course we talk about this during the ethics portion and I've long held and opined that hunting isn't a "sport" per se as typically things don't die during sporting events. All that to say when we hunt, whether for meat or for predator control, the object is to kill something in order to use either its meat or hide if at all possible. I'd say though in closing GW, that when one of the yard mulie fawns "harvested" my red beets a little early or when one of the 4 black bears who were on patrol harvested my pear tree this year, I did think that I might like to "harvest" them right back! Thanks for the thread as I do agree with your thoughts on the matter and all the best to you all as we head into the Christmas Season. Dwayne

I kill stuff. It makes me sick to my stomach when people start using pc jargon to try to make what they do seem less offensive to anyone who'd be offended by it.

I harvest a bunch of stuff............from my garden each year. I kill game. When I harvest my vegetables, the plant doesn't die but critters die.

GW; depends upon the audience. Amongst those I know are comfortable with hunting the term is kill.
When I am chatting with a non-hunter who is uncommitted as to whether they are pro or anti hunting I will purposely use “softer” words as I work them toward a pro hunting stance.
Committed anti hunters I won’t talk to and don’t GAF what they think, they can not be convinced.
The non-hunter can be convinced and moved to a pro hunting perspective with a gentle information conversation. There are a great deal more non-hunters than either hunters or anti-hunters we need to win the non-hunters into supporting hunting and firearms rights.
I hope you are well today good sir.

GWB One harvests crops, picks fruit, slaughters livestock. When one is successful hunting, one has killed. I despise the term harvesting applied to hunted game. As I have stated on this site before, the term demeans the hunter, the activity and, most especially, the game hunted. When I was the North American representative for a justly famous Namibian safari company, I would occasionally have prospective clients ask about the possibility of harvesting this species or that animal. I said politely but forthrightly that we did not harvest anything; we killed game. We were not farmers. We were not a "put and take" operation. Our game was wild and had to be hunted skillfully via fair chase and killed. I got some strange looks and a few argued that it was "just semantics" (which I assured them it was not) but never lost a sale because of my stance on the phrasing. Practically every state wildlife and fisheries department in the U.S. uses the term harvest. I believe that tells you what you need to know about what these people think about the hunters that they are supposed to be serving. Do yourself, the larger hunting community, and hunting itself a favor: Do not tolerate the use of the term harvest being applied to hunting. RS
