My hunting buddy is permitted to hunt like that in his town. It's perfectly legal and all he has to do is notify the adjacent neighbors that he will be bow hunting and that's that! I'm jealous that he is allowed to do that. However, his town has a bad deer problem and is proactive in getting the deer down to a manageable size. He hunts smart, though. Good stand location with safety in mind and also baits. He'll get 10-15 in at a time. He's told me his arrow has fallen off and clanked on the stand. The deer scatter only to return 1 minute later! Who can say that has happened to them in the field?! The deer are basically tamed to a point and not much sport in it, but it sure beats hauling into the thick woods when you really only have an hour to hunt per day. Plus, he donates a portion of his kill to charity and he gets good practice...and only takes does as he won't/can't take a buck and call that hunting!
