Don't ya just hate urban sprawl? It's like a cancer. Any how sounds like you have a nice setup here. I would caution you about over huntingit though. You have a good point about hunting it early in the season and cathing them off gaurd. However i would not over look the chasing phase and the rut. This is the time when the big boys drop their gaurd and are more apt to make a mistake. Good luck edge.

God Bless & Good Hunting
