    So, I live in Philadelphia, And have access / permission to hunt small +/- one acre properties. I could literally sneak in early, stand in the yard,and shoot a Doe.

    I'm not going to.

    No judgements. Would you?

    If it were TRULY that easy, I'd find one of these properties where a bruiser buck was frequenting and smoke him. Urban deer hunting CAN be more challenging than it appears on the surface. Just my opinion. I wouldn't go through the hassle of it for a doe though to be honest (dealing with neighbors, tracking permission issues, etc).

    Ok guys I get it, maybe I'm oversimplifying. But I work for a tree crew, and for about the last ten days when I get to the job me and my buddy walk into this yard ( the house is unoccupied ) and more than once stood within 25 yards of two does and their fawns.They look and pay attention but don't scoot.Now I haven't done it with a bow in my hand,but I have mimed raising and drawing.
