Tried some suburban deer hunting this weekend. Have a relative that lives near a fancy golf course/club with a big deer problem. The deer have cleaned out flower beds and shrubs in her neighborhood.
Set my stand up Saturday in the backyard on the edge of a powerline cut. At dawn 5 deer came through the cut and into the yard. Downed one young doe, while the rest ran. A few minutes later all 4 are back, then another comes in. A few minutes later 3 more came through!
Decided to go back this morning, same thing. 4 came in while 2 more are father back in line. Took a mature doe that was so large I had to get some help to get her in the truck.
Kind of nice being parked literally 50feet from my stand.
(Only downside is that I had to take the whole deer somewhere else to field dress. Not good leaving a gut pile on freshly cut lawns.)

That is awesome, old suburban does will catch on quick though and they will pick you out. Need any help? :D
 
I forgot to add the original reason for my post:
Since I was not in my home area (and in this heat), I dropped off the deer at a processor. The guy said that making friends with your local garden club pays off HUGE benefits. A lot of these ladies are tired of the deer.
 
I used to do a lot of "thicket hunting" in Shelby county and it got me my biggest bow kill to date. A 136" 8 point, and I saw several more, 2 that put mine to shame. The main thing to remember is those deer live to be old so you are hunting mature deer. They may not be used to hunting pressure but you still have to pick your times and conditions to hunt if you are going to kill the big guy.

That is great. I love to hear these backyard stories. Hope you get several more... including one of those mature old bucks.

This has been the biggest one I've seen, on camera. I'm liking those brow tines, but he can wait another year.
