A home in your bow hunting backdrop. Okay or not? How close is too close?

I am sorry Rick, your experience just upped the percentage from .00000005452132876 to .00000001.

 

Epic

OP, the problem i would have is like everyone else, a hit deer running into a yard or the roads.

Around here in suburbia, such as parma, it wouldnt even be fair. Ive walked up to within 10 feet of deer feeding in park...wheres the sport in that? just sayin....

 

Yepper, no problems there, just proper handling of recovery and you will be fine.

 

For the record... It is perfectly legal to hunt here as I have checked into prior.

Why even give the homeowner a chance to complain about you hunting there since it is legal? I have the law on my side. Just saying.

If it is safe to hunt there..... then it is safe to hunt there. Without regard of whether the homeowner likes it or not. And they would technically be risking hunter harassment if they play the games mentioned.

I also am responsible for any arrow I shoot. Therefore I want to make damn sure I am not going to regret it.

Thanks for the comments.

 

i'd say go for it, you prob know the people, if not i'd intro myself, just in case a deer expires on their lawn. even so i'd get phone numbers and if i think it died on the lawn i'd just call drag it back in the woods and field dress it outta sight.

good luck!

 

When i was a kid we played in the woods next to are home,no we did not own them kids just dont think that way, and pet owners let there dogs out before and after work so you would have a lot of safety concerns for sure. and yes your arrow could strike a branch on it way to a deer and deflect off course and who knows where it will go.

To me it is just not worth it, accidents happen,Things we dont mean or want to happen but then they do........
bambie dies in the yard as people are loading in the car for church on sunday morn
home owner refuses to let you retrieve your deer that is laying next to the swing set

Just throwing this out there.

 

I am going to provide a counter point. If one did a study in the county in which GFY Camp is hunting and compared the statistics of people that have died from car accidents versus being struck by an errant arrow, I would have to say that people should be banned from driving cars in that county 4567 to 1 or potentially 4567 to 0.

 

oh yea it's safer to fly in a plane. the odds quote
but planes crash every day
accidents happen... no matter what odds are.. maybe the arrow lands in someone yard, hit a tool shed it really doesn't matter
things happen.
alot of people dont mind seeing a dead deer or until it is bleeding in there yard doing a death dance in the flowers with a arrow sticking out of it

worst case scenario and apply it to this situation . and it simply could happen.
what are the odds that new Orleans would see a second devastating blow like the gulf oil spill .

If a 150 class deer was walking at the edge of the yard do you shoot?

How about the odds of a deer running off at the shot and running part way across the back yard of the house in the pic, I would say pretty good.

There are things more important than just killing a deer, being safe,respect full and responsible hunter is number one with me :D

As people i know we wont all agree as to what we think is ok for you is not for me and we all have to live with that. I still respect everyones opinion to how they choose to hunt,so we will have to agree to disagree.:D

 

Follow the law and use some common sense.

I'd hunt the heck out of it....and I have a very similar spot.

 

Living and hunting in a very suburbanized county, I and many people I know face these situations daily. It ain't a big deal.
You can "worst case to death" any activity you participate in and if that was the case no one here would ever hunt from elevation. Cause you might fall out & your safety harness snap.

I say go hunt.

 

ok now take this thread and apply it to the people and the gulf oil spill
Day 44.
