i sometimes hunt like that you can find some good deer in those neighborhoods that nobody hunts and you can only use a bow . you need to make sure you have a good shot to take it down quick . the only draw back is like you said you don't know what the neighbors are doing . I have had them nail, chainsaw, run a backhoe, let the dogs run out to where i am ,do all the strangest things early in the morning then be dead silent2 hours later. isn't it ironic
