I got a phone call today from a friend of an old landscape customer of mine. His house is in a subdivision but his adjoining 7 acs are not(no restrictions). His wife has a 2 ac native plant garden and a "rogue" deer is jumping over or swimming around her 7' tall deer fence and eating everything. He wanted to know if I would come over with my bow and shoot that "rogue" deer.
DAH! YEAH!!!
I will meet him and possibly the game warden(my suggestion) on Saturday morning to scout the property and see what legalities might come into effect. One problem is they rarely see the deer during the day light hours(that's why I suggested the game warden)
Many years ago a friend was poaching on Hilton Head Island, SC. He had his stand in a wooded area(there weren't man homes on HHI then). A nice fat Flossy(doe) walked by and he took the shot. The deer ran off so my friend waited for about an hour and preceded to trail the blood. As he broke from the woods he saw his arrow...sticking up in the deer he shot.....laying in the middle of a beautiful formal rose garden.
Getting the deer out of there was way more difficult than the blood trail.
This hunt is what I picture when I think about hunting next to a restricted sub division.
