Thats cool. Thats my dream to beable to sit in my hot tub and pick out the deer im going to harvest the next day. Your one lucky guy.

I don't have this luxury, but my uncle sure does. He has harvested 3 nice does out of his back yard this year. They always come up to eat his garden every year when he has things planted. Maybe he'll get more produce next year.

Almost every morning and afternoon from mid-October to mid-November There are about 10 deer in a field right out my kitchen window. We have seen some really nice bucks in there for a few years.

In 2002 and 2003 we saw a HUGE deer there that just narrowly missed arrows from both me (2 different times, one each year)and one of my friends. My dad and one of his friends saw him one day out in another field and they both said he wasright around 180 inches.Last year we saw a nice 8 point and a tall 10 point in it and then again this year we saw the same 2 deer. The 8 point has really grown into a bueatiful buck. He is about 20-22 inches inside spread with his G2's around 10 inches with decent mass.

BTW we usually only hunt this field when we are trying to harvest does. We see a lot more deer when we back off into the brush about 100 yards on the main trails going to it.

On on One, I also have them on my place all around the house. We have to be very careful at night when we drive in or out ofthe driveway, my driveway is over 1200ft from the house. Back in Oct. of last year, my wife wakes me up around 3am to show me a 12pt and an 8pt and 6 does eating about 12ft from my bedroomwindow.:)

Yes, I am very fortunate and get to see quite a few deer in my backyard. Here are a few of my favorites. I also have a few threads in the bowhunting section titled 'Backyard Bucks'

I see deer in my yard. Mainly over the summer. Thier patterns change by fall and winter and I see them less frequently. I have arrowed at least one doe behind the house a year since i've moved in. The 1st year I moved in I saw 2 real big bucks, but nothing but scrubs since then.

RE: DEER IN YOUR BACK YARD
 

My wife and I live on several acres outside of town. Our property adjoins a 100-acre estate of mixed woods and overgrown fields for which I oversee for the estate hiers. It is great deer country, and we have photo albums full of pictures of all kinds of wildlife. Not only do we have deer on a daily basis usually, but during the spring, summer and fall, we quite often have bear in our yard. My wife and I were in bed one night in the fall. Warm night, bedroom windows open. I got awake and was hearing a strange noise from the back deck area. I got up, looked out the window, and there was a big black bear-- probably in the 300 lb. class-- laying on the deck and helping himself to a half bushel of apples my wife had bought, as we were in the process of making applesauce and apple butter,
I got my wife awake, and we could hear him chewing up the apples, and could smell the juice from them. We were only about 8 ft. from him. We watched for awhile, and he finally got up, shook himself off, and ambled off the deck.
Wildlife is tremendous. If I ever quit carrying a gun, I'll do my hunting with a camera.
