All right. Time for me to get on the soapbox. The thing that bothers me about the hunting shows is the use of the work "kill". It might be just the area I was raised in, but I never "killed" anything. We always "shot" something or "got" something. I can never remembered being asked if I "killed" anything. I was always asked if I "got" something or "shot" something. When these guys on these videos say "let's go kill some coyotes" I just cringe and hope there are no non-hunters watching. It is a question of semantics because when I shoot something I kill it. However, it is easier on the ears if I shoot it. I have always wondered about this because I grew up in a hunting community and the word kill was very seldom used even by the non-hunters. I pronounce it ky yote, but my dad pronounced it like Redfrog and said ky yute. But I grew up 16 miles from the Canadian border so maybe my dad was influenced by the Canadians.
Biggest pet peeve is the use of the verb "see". It is see, saw, seen. My dad was a teacher and you had better believe I had to use proper grammar. The vast majority of the guys making videos cannot use the various forms of the verb "see" properly. That has nothing to do with what part of the country you are from. It has to do with education.
And I am just an old countrified boy. Okay, I'm done.
