Catch a deer?

Did you ever notice that if you mention you've been hunting to any non-hunter, the polite response will always be, "Did you catch a deer?" It's as if the person has such refined sensibilities that he can't bring himself to say, "Did you shoot a deer?" My reply is usually, "No, I didn't catch a deer. I don't know what it is, but I just can't seem to run that fast anymore."
