    I own a golf course here in NY. Seems as though a particular deer has taking a liking to the atmosphere this year. I've been here for 18 years and I believe this is the second deer I've ever seen on the actual golf course. We hunt the surrounding property of the actual course, but very very rarely do we ever see them on the course itself.

    This little thing is around every single day patroling the fairways. She just mingles around the golfers during the day walking around. It has even laid down in the wide open about 10 feet from the clubhouse. Scared of absolutely nothing! She walks right up to greens when people are putting like shes' watching them lol. I was shooting off the back deck the other day and the thing walked over and stood right in front of my target. Really weird. Sure are going to be some good backstaps come opening day!............. kidding.

    yeah I would have a hard time shooting her. Actually I don't think I could at all. I live on my own hunting property and we have them walk right up our driveway but, nothing like this. I would love to have one around my yard like that though. Hey it may even be good for your business. People may pay to play just to see her walking around. I believe I would make it known to my customers that she is to be left alone though.

    My grandfather has a woodshop in my barn. He has a doe he feeds almost daily. I'm not allowed to shoot her (wouldn't anyways). Only problem i wouldn't know which one she is.
