Default Hunt for the "backyard buck" begins!

I just moved this year to a subdivision with 2-3 acre lots. I have a great funnel that is in the woods behind my house, along a creek bed. I have seen a buck twice with a very large body for this area and really large main beams. I believe he is an old buck that is coming down in terms of antler quality. The wind is right today, finally. I have one small problem, I only have around 40 yards of the creek line I can hunt and am not going to go on anyone elses property unless I shoot the buck and have to track. At that time, I have permission to track a deer from the two land owners next to me. I am gonna try to lure him in with some young buck scent...we have a good 10mph north wind that hopefully will push the scent down into what I believe is his bedding area 80-100 yards away.

Any thoughts on suburban deer hunting? First time I have done it really. Thanks all.
