What you pointed out is the MAIN reason I would NEVER hunt in these types of environments. Sure people take some huge bucks in these types of areas, but I have NO desire to have any deer drop in someone urban/suburban backyard next to their swimming pools or barbecues. Especially with bowhunting, it is not likely that the deer will drop right at the spot it is hit and bows are typically the only weapons allowed in these kind of environments. I hear about people hunting in two acre lots, just how do they pull off not having to knock on someone's door to ask if they could track or retrieve their deer? In many of these places there is NO place for the deer to go other than to someone elses property that you probably don't have rights to. I would much rather take only a small buck and have the peace and solitude compared to a chance at a big one in the type of environment you mention.
