When I had a 3D target set up in my yard, we would often see deer coming up and trying to see what it was. One awesome looking double drop 10 pointer was standing about 40 yards off my front porch.
I woulda smoked him!
Some BIG reasons...
1) It was early September so season was not in.
2) I can't really say that is hunting, I don't know though, I often hunt the trails leading to the fields that I can see from my house, and it's the same deer. It all just depends on your morals and your thoughts of the fine line of hunting and "shooting".
Chances are if it had been in season, sneaking out of the house and shooting him would be very unlikely. The deer run off everytime someone opens a door, or a dog barks. I know where they most likely would go from the field, so I could of set up on the main trail and to me I could of shot him with a feeling of actually hunted him.
