nice and cold out tonight too! she'll def be ready for the freezer.

How long do you think she lived on the one lung hit Brett? This should be good Info for us all.

RE: First Suburban deer
 

I would say 60-90 minutes is my best guess. I kind of feel bad but she must have turned quickly when I shot because she was on full alert. I could not believe that deer walked up into my yard. I saw meat in the freezer. I have only ever seen 1 buck in my neighborhood and about 20-30 different does...definitely too many of them.

Congratulations.

Congrats I take back yard deer all the time when i want to fill the fridge. I have done just like you are saying i walk out side the house , sneak into range then let them have it. The part i don't like is it is over and done with in minutes. Its not the same as when i go on other land and sit and hunt

RE: First Suburban deer
 

Sounds like you did the population a favor, good job!

RE: First Suburban deer
 

Way to go, Brett.

I've got a feeder about 40yds off my back door (little gravity feeder) and we have deer up here all the time (does). Lisa loves seeing them.....but I'd get my nuts cut off if I shot one of them.[&:]

RE: First Suburban deer
 

show her who is boss GMMATT ,thin one out for the freezer:D

RE: First Suburban deer
 

Well done...I have contemplated the same thing in my backyard, but have not done it yet. How far did she run? Sounds like a total of less than 50 yds?

RE: First Suburban deer
 

Nice. I took a nice fat doe like that right by our cabin when the state used to let us get three deer by archery. Now that they moved us down to one deer total, I have to watch the does eat in our front yard and save my one tag for my buck. They're still fun to watch, though, and estimate ranges on.
