Default First Suburban deer

I just shot my first suburban deer, a doe. I have lived here for two years but have never hunted them....I was looking outside when I noticed a pack of does(6-8) moving my way. One of them wandered out into my yard. My kids and wife noticed as well. We watched it for 3-4 minutes then the wife jumped in the shower, and the kids went down to play. I had reservations about shooting the doe but it is legal and we have tons of them everywhere.

I snuck downstairs to the garage in my jeans and socks and got my bow. I snuck between both cars and behind my two trash cans....in the background I hear a leaf blower and some car playing a loud hip hop song. I draw behind the trash cans and look up...she is looking right at me. I aim between a ladder I had left out and shoot between the rungs at 20 yards. Looked to be a great shot right behind the shoulder. Saw her bolt then bed down on my property not 30 yards after the shot. Going to wait until dark so as to not bother anyone living around me as all the leaves are off the trees and a bunch of houses have a view of mine.

Weird weird weird "hunt"...but we do have a massive overpopulation of does in the county and a ton of vehicle collisions.
