You harvest crops.What do you use to harvest, bow, crossbow, rifle?
There is a difference between harvesting and just killing. One tends to eat the harvest....killing is a different matter entirely.
You kill fish and game.
Harvest in regard to taking life is just a euphemism for killing to make people "feel good about themselves".
Its a bullshit term.
I guess the ethical contract between you and what you kill is just bullshit also. Clearly, we were raised by different sorts of people with different views on our place in the food chain and the ethical responsibility that goes with that position and the idea of respect for what you kill.
I don't think much of trophy hunters either...myself, I only kill does..better eating and much better for the population.
i like to shoot big deer
doe or buck
In my younger days, I used to shoot bucks, but the fact is that during the rut, they just aren't fit to eat so I stopped shooting them 30 years ago.
in some areas one does not have a choice sometimes between buck or doe
not bow hunting this year been too busy
however going to southern Minnesota for the slug season
the zone we are in is either sex
i have taken some bigger bucks in the past
they have all been fine eating
then again l love venison
but a young doe is pretty darn tender & tasty
