Harvesting an animal is not a new term. And I think it is technically correct to use it not for PC reasons but because that is really what you are doing. Yes you killed a deer you also harvested the meat from it. But I use kill instead of harvest all the time. But when you really think about it harvest is a much better term for the activity. Think of this but lets first agree that plants are living organisms yes, then when a farmer harvests his crops for use consumption or other wise does he kill them yes he does. Just like you killed a deer or any other game animal. Its a technical term used in wildlife management. To harvest is to use that animal, its meat and/or hide or what ever for what ever. To kill is to shoot it and just let is lay there. If it helps make the sport seem less barbaric to the people who are against it isn't that just a plus for us.
