When I think of “harvest” I think of someone going to butcher a cow or pig or shoot a deer over a bait pile.
Hunting to me is going after the animal in the wild, no bait allowed. I call it fair chase. Pretty much summed up hunting with the grandson for the first time this year. We seen deer but didn’t kill any, they weren’t within the size limit for the area we hunt. But we had a good time and still ate good. Trying to teach him right so he doesn’t follow a bad path later on.
BTW, the grandson would be doing the shooting, I have no desire to kill an animal anymore. These pups ruined me a few years back.

Some things just need a good killin'. Screw the harvest. ![[Linked Image from static01.nyt.com]](https://static01.nyt.com/images/2020/10/29/climate/29CLI-WOLVES1/merlin_179246919_d7eaf5a5-935a-4eb7-92a8-000c29bc9d0c-articleLarge.jpg)

I harvested a deer last week. But I had to kill it first so I could report my harvest to the state.

I've been trying to be more sensitive this year. So, we went out and mostly peacefully protested several head of wild game.

Hunting to me is going after the animal in the wild, no bait allowed. I call it fair chase. You ever hunt around white oak trees? Yes I do, red oak and several fields too. But we also put out 250 lbs of corn and 25 lbs of bird seed around the cabins once a week to watch the animal come and feed. Deer, bear, turkey, squirrel, grouse, rabbits, possums and coons enjoy the feast. Deer never venture far away and come to it 4-5 times a day. Bears will lay in it. Dogs bark and they ignore it. They hear the truck come in the driveway and they run the feeding spots. Funny……I’ve never had that happen in a stand of white oaks.

When you "harvest" your game, do you then lay your hand on the beast, close your eyes, and thank the spirit of the animal for their sacrifice? No, but when I kill them, I do. Nothing wrong with being thankful and respectful to the animal.

I do alot of still hunting in the Adirondacks.
I don't always see the deer before he sees me.
In the event I'm seen first, "accelerate and ventilate".
