As long as my wife is working my upper deck makes a great stand. I've had two deer targets wrecked in the last few years so I moved my new one closer to the house. Boy, will the bucks be surprised next season.

Regards,
Grouse

I've lived in the woods and country most of my life and for some reason good tasting animals just never hung around the house.

Rabbits in the garden are fair game, I would consider deer or turkeys just the same!

I like the out of the mowed part of the yard requirement.  Good stuff.  I missed a shot 2 years ago about 100 yds from house and the arrow hit a lawnmower my neighbor had put out to
pasture.  3 blade snuffer bent and after relaying these events to the good folks at Magnus they still replaced the head under warranty

ya we've got a herd of deer here. One day last month I counted 33 deer in sight of our deck.  We live in a neighbor hood so they are absolutely pets.
The deer love our garden....

If I had a flock of fall turkeys in my back yard, my windows would always be open and an arrow on the string, ready to go.

I have a stand on the back porch of a friends house, have killed 3 deer out of it.  The lady who owns it is in her 70's now and will make me breakfast and walk out to give it to me as I am hunting.  I also have a swingset that I use as a ground blind, it has a little room on top that is perfect to set up in.

Im in the center of town no wild life here but the people down the street.
You can hop but you can't hide.
If it was not for rabbits I would never get a buck.

The best thing about owning a dog is that someone is happy when you come home.

I have deer within 150yds of the back door, but pets they aint!! If  you noticed my post a while back, going hunting 11-20 trips per shot, aint easy hunting. I do have several deer, seen 13 in 2 different fields last night, but over the years, the know what noise means danger and what dont. Folks think because you see them from 100-200 yds regularly, that I just waltz up to them and plunk a arrow thru them, no free lunches here. Every deer I have ever taken has been earned.
