I don't know whether to envy you for being able to watch that from your office or feel sorry for you that you have to be tortured by seeing that while sitting behind your desk.
See if you can get permission to hunt there. Then everyone can watch as you arrow one!!!!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

SUBURBAN BUCKS!!!!
It's such a small plot of land right along the parking lot!
I'm sure there's no hunting allowed! It runs right along
the sound barriers of a major highway on one side and our lot on the other! Maybe 80 yrds wide 3-5 miles long! At the end where the
street is they appear to be crossing under the highway and traveling the median!!!!! It's killing me because where I hunt in NJ is zone 4
and I've only seen 2 deer this nice up there in 30 yrs!!!!

I'm guessing Rt. 22 as well, however I'm thinking the Whitehouse area, maybe in the Exxon building 
My second guess would be one of the corporate buildings also along Rt. 22 along the Bridgewater through North Branch area (Met Life, Ethicon, Aventis etc..)

You guys are close! I'm not sayin' exactly where as
the temptation may be too much and I'd love at least 1 chance at them before you experienced bowmen get to them!!!!!! So far this AM
I've seen 4 does (only 1 left out there now) and not one buck!
The bucks didn't show untill 11AM yesterday. And bailed out at around
2:30 3:00 (hang on I'm goin to peak out now.....) The last doe is wandering off (east) she is already passed the scrape left by the 8ptr
Kinda bummed after yesterdays show! What happens after a doe is
mounted? As one was yesterday, now today with 4 around this AM
there's less action than with just the 1 yesterday!!! I'm sure
this one's not in heat yet, but yesterdays doe was here at 9:30 AM
but no action! Is she "off" after a single hump?

At least you can watch deer from your window! I'm stuck on 48th/Park Ave all day and then only see deer in my backyard when I throw the spot light on. I'm in Bergen County and there is no Legal hunting allowed but some folks still sneak out.
I think that Jersey hunters have to be resourceful and hunt places such as highway strips/office parks/developments/etc as this is where the big biys are going to be taken.
Have fun enjoying the view!

The 4 ptr tried mounting a doe but she was not receptive.
Jumped an 8 ptr yesterday after lunch when I when to cut the
remaining antler off of a 6 pt road kill He was hot on the
tail of a doe! Right along the highway that the 6ptr was killed on!
