Thats a dandy Otto! Look at the body on him. He looks solid. I'm with you Otto, my wife and kids would tie me to a tree and shoot judos at me if I shot one of the deer by the house. I only have 5 1/4 acres so if I had more it might be different. Good luck!!!

Well, as long as the kids haven't given them a name or tamed him to where they can walk out and feed him, go hunt him!

Unless you just flat don't want to.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

I hear you Otto I am going to post a picture of the buck I saw in my yard a dozen times last fall. Once he was trying to breed a doe in our driveway. While it would be legal to shoot him here it just wouldn't seem like hunting. Also there are several other houses fairly close and the last thing I need is to have Bambi's dad pitching up dead in some little girls yard with my arrow hanging out of him.
 
To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

You got it bohuntr

For me to throw corn out in the yard and then shoot one on his way in to feed that morning just wouldn't seem right.

So I'll be up at the butt-crack of dawn tomorrow morning, make about a 20 minute walk in and set up.  We'll see what happens!!
