RE: "Kill" / "Harvest" / "PC"
Here's my thing, and this is just me I guess. That's my moral belief, and I am going to stick by that. If that were me, and again I'm not trying to insinuate that you were wrong, but if I would have been in that position I would have told them they would have to find someone else then. My feelings and beliefs are what they are, and if they don't like it.....Well, I just really don't care. I'm not changing just because they think I should......Not advise, just my personal belief.
I've got no problems using the kill word. I just know when to use it......and when to exercise diplomacy. Diplomacy = the segment being run.
Believe me guys......people know an animal was killed when we say "harvest".
If you were to be asked to come and talk to a group of boy scouts......at one of their meetings.....to try to educate them on the rewards you've personally realized because of hunting.......and their ONLY request was you substitute "harvest" for "kill"......would you do it???
I'd JUMP at the chance.

This topic has been hammered pretty good a number of times.I personally believe in knowing your audience and erring to the side of consideration.If I am going to possibly offend someone with the use of a certain word I wont use it.I do not regularly use the word harvest,but I probably would have in that situation,if I couldn't have used the word take or taken.
We all know what we are doing when we put an arrow through a deers chest cavity.I look at it from two perspectives,courtesy to those who are not familiar with hunting and intelligence from the perspective of if I am respectful of them,they are more likely to be respectful of me,that may translate in to hunting privilege's,friendships etc..

Farmers harvest. Hunters kill. I don't eat things that are still alive. I feel it is cruel to grill something before it is dead. That is inhumane. Who cares what the "others" think ? I say what I mean, and mean what I say. I will never lie or try to cover up what I do. No offense but, are you embarassed or ashamed to call yourself a hunter? I sure as hell don't carry my bow into the woods to do any of my prey any favors. I think it is disrespectful to your game to say they were harvested. If it was me I would rather be killed than harvested. A wise man once said "You have to kill it before you grill it!"
