I'm building a new house in a neighborhood that is on the edge of the county I live in. There is a lot of wide open space in between the subdivisions out there, and a lot of farm land. My lot is about 80 yards deep, and about 30 yards of it runs back into a long section of woods that runs between the subdivisions.

I walked back into the woods near dusk tonight, and I jumped up deer. Right away, I started looking for trees to hang a stand in. Soon after, I started having second thoughts, wondering if I might piss off any of my new neighbors that might be bambi lovers.

I was wondering if anyone else had ever been in a similar situation?

Should I grab a stand when the season opens and go for it, or err on the side of caution and back off?

I'm torn on what to do here, because I'd love to have the option of a 1 minute commute to a stand, but by the same token I don't want any bad blood with new neighbors.



The picture shows kind of what I'm talking about, but the satellite image is old. (I hope the picture ends up in the post, this is the first time I've tried to embed a pic.) The red X marks where the house will be. There is a fully developed subdivision to the north of the X, and houses line either side of the road. There is nothing but woods to my south.

What would you do?
