RE: hunting "urbanized" areas
 
I just wanted to know what others consider "urban". I called what I do "urban deer hunting" last year.....partly because I didn't know a term like that existed.....and partly because I got stuck in a pinch when Rob/PA was coming down....and the only piece of land I could get on (for him to be allowed to hunt) was some woodlots behind a pair of house and a horse pasture. We saw a TON of deer, there.....but no shot opportunities (or none at deer we wanted).

I don't know what to call my area.....other than a good place to hunt. It's not in the city limits. I have hunted within 150 yds of a house.....but my honey hole is on the back side of a horse pasture....on a48 acre tract that is an old farm (uninhabited). I can hear my dog bark from most everywhere I hunt, though....lol. I like it that way.

I kind of hunt urban there are houses all around and paved roads everwere. There are bigger deer in the urban area were I hunt then upnorth which i love to hunt because you can see different things on state land and it just seems more like hunting.

I have Bowhunted places you could walkfor days & not find a house.
I have Bowhunted "special" Park hunts (had to meet shooting & hunter safty qualifications).
I have Bowhunted "URBAN" with someones house & people 75 yds. away.
I have Bowhunted "MY" back yard in the city limits (I qualified for in city permits-hunter safty, Shooting ).
I have killed Deer in all these places & I enjoyed every minute I was Bowhunting. difficult, NO, KILLING any Whitetail inANY setting is like taking candy from a baby.
Good Luck & enjoy, no matter where you go. Don't worry about difficulty-just be smart enough to get that close shot....
