RE: back yard hunter
Every spot I have hunted this year... I have been able to see a house. In one spot (where I bonked on that doe) I could have peed into the driveway, and there were two houses closer to ME than the deer was (of course I was shooting away from them.... and I was there at the encouragement of the homeowners who cannot grow anything in their yards).
Place I hunted yesterday was right behind a friends house, and he shot a bruiser there on opening day this year. Family owns like 12 acres.
