In someone's backyard, that has no fear of most anything, the hardest part is to just either get permission or have enough money to buy access to those pet deer.
I know where 3 really good bucks are bedding in a backyard in Hendersonville. I have pics from a friend, One of them is is in the 170's if he is not in the 180's. If you are good at throwing, any one of them could be killed with a spear. The person that owns the house goes out and feeds his dog and the bucks lay there and watch him. I don't know if anyone could get permission, but they have been bedding in the backyard most every day. Would it be hunting? Nope. Would I post videos or even make a video of myself in a manicured yard shooting deer? Nope, never.
As far as the buck talked about in this post goes, I know nothing. I have never seen their videos, don't care to. And this deer may be a legitimate kill. Except that in August here, the hardest part of killing a good buck is finding him, not always but even large bucks can be easily patterned in August and to me that takes away from the hunting.
I have read where they shoot deer in backyards, those are pet deer. While I don't have anything against it, population control and eating those deer are 2 great things. Bragging about it, making videos, the fact that people even pay attention to someone shooting "pet" deer, especially ones that are almost tame, nah, could care less and I for sure don't think it helps anything other than their ego.
And some are correct, I have wasted to much time on this. For sure won't waste anymore.
