Ok here we go again...now we has an argument between "harvest" and "kill"....Referee, YOU CALL IT and get them back on track
.Now that's funny....I don't care who you are & God bless all the little pygmies down in Africa". You just gotta love Larry' The Cable Guys sayings.I shot the deer to harvest it, it was a clean kill.
I ripped the carrots up from the ground to harvest them, it was a slow death.
Everyone happy now

Oh jeeeezussss another one of them zealots
Nice buck, well done.
Congrats on a fine buck! Tell us (if you haven't already as I've not yet read the entire post) a little more about your hunt. How far was the shot, where were you hunting, the amount of powder used and what time of the day it was? Did you scout the area beforehand or was this a place you've gone to many times before?
I had bought the T/C big boar off of gunbroker because I had always wanted a 58cal. I have a T/C cougar as well and a few other T/C’s I always had an obsession with them. Anyways this was going to be my first year hunting with traditional equipment exclusively. I bought a Lee REAL mold and my hand cast bullets came out at 442gr. I settled on a load of 90 grains of 2f goex with my cast bullet lubed with T/C pine scented bore butter. The gun absolutely LOVES this load and will shoot clover leaves at 50 yards benched off bags! After getting my load worked I felt confident out to 100 yards with a good rest. My best friend has 100 private acres right down the road from me which we hunt every year together. We always run cameras on it, but struggle to kill any “good” bucks off of it each year. Well this year we moved a few stands around and the day before opening day of muzzleloader we decided to move “my” set to a oak ridge overlooking a real steep holler. I hunted till 10am before I saw the first deer a doe, immediately followed by the buck in the picture. I had an opening on him at 80 yards and when he stepped into the hole I shot him. He just flinched and ran back towards my buddy, who was huntin just down the ridge from me. I sent my buddy a text and asked him if the buck came by him and he said no. So we sat for a hour and got down to look for him. Upon reaching where he was standing there was no blood so we walked to the last place I seen him and again no blood. So my buddy chalked it up to a miss and I wanted to make one more “loop” on the area. I walked back to the last place we were and made it another 20 yards and he was laying there stone dead. He never bled a drop! The shot went through both front shoulders maybe a shade low. In total he made it about 80 yards. That’s the long and drawn out story haha. But I will say it was a day I’ll never forget and a task off my bucket list. The buck I killed was never on any of our cameras I guess a traveler looking for a doe.
Your reasoning seems a little odd to me. My grandmother lived to be 100 years old way before being "Woke" or the internet was even though of and right at the beginning of cars and electricity being commonplace. She told me that if you don't have something nice to say, then say nothing.
So to me, it seems you are a victim of your own argument.
My Granny would have sent me to kill the chicken myself which I have more than once. The issue is not about being PC the term harvesting wild game has been around long before the internet.
I'm 70 years old and I don't remember a time when The Missouri Dept of Conservation didn't call the number of deer taken in any season a "Harvest" it's a term that has been used for wild game for a very long time.
Its all about context young man. I get it olskool.
