Not your average new Excalibur cross bow

Because when you are using it for hunting they are by their very definition weapons.

Depends on the definition !

Where the antis are concerned I highly doubt playing semantics or calling something a tool versus weapon makes any difference.

Just like harvest vs kill - semantics. I kill animals. Farmers harvest crops and when they send an animal to be butchered pretty sure that they don't say they are harvesting cows.

But according to the MNR...the kills are counted as a 'Harvest" in regards to the Deer Management Plan. The hunt is conducted to cull the herd.

That's why the MNR call it the Annual Harvest report...Not the Annual Kill report...semantics between the killer and the farmer. HaHa..

Curious if one would say a bear or wolf harvests deer...

Harvest is a word that makes it more palatable to those on the fence I guess.

I might use "take", "got", or "shot" around sensitive company. "Harvest" sends instant images of crops to my mind, it doesn't fit with hunting IMO.

I had a lady at the Restore asked if I 'caught' one this year....maybe she thinks (hopes ?) it's 'catch and release'.. HaHa...

X2.
The term weapon is associated with the intent or usage to hurt peoples. Which is not the case for hunting.
