My friend, you have just discovered the number one cause fueling the growth in the sport of bowhunting. Access to inaccessible gun hunting spots. If you had a gun, you would be way to close to your neighbor's house to even sit with a loaded weapon, let alone fire a shot.

My best stand is approximately 200 yards from two houses. It's a natural funnel between 4 fields and 3 houses, and leads straight to unhuntable bedding and water sources. When one of the neighbor's practice horseback riding in their corral, I can hear all of the instructor's comments.

With your situation, they probably won't even be alarmed by scent, being that close to your yard.

Good luck.

Ok, I'm convinced. Heck, maybe I'll even build that big treehouse my wife was suggesting....for the kids of course. I will probably go out there for an hour or two tomorrow morning before work. Don't want to hunt it too much, but I reckon two or three mornings or evenings a week shouldn't be too bad. Maybe I will be lucky and get my first Buck this year. I'll definately give an update at the end of the season ( or the day of the kill if all goes well).
