Oh yes MO, very much so. The houses don't act like a fence at all. The deer have the people patterned and know when it's safe and when it's not and when you do something out of the normality of the landscape, the deer are as skittish as any I've seen, perhaps more so. It's the shear number of deer that's amazing.

The evening I sat in a tree behind one of these house when a buck was chasing a doe, he was 20 yards from me with no shot because of vegitation (thick). Behind me the women was standing next to a occupied vehicle and they were carrying on a conversation, laughing and carrying on. The deer were oblivious to them BUT, when I stepped up to the tree I was going to setup in, I spooked several deer out of there in a hurry. You step inside what the deer consider a safe zone and they turn inside out to leave.

Yes, very challanging in it's own way.
