Risking a sit verses virgin territory sounded fun and worse case scenario - I would have to wait a few more weeks to settle down if I messed it up...
This was one of my new spots I've been eyeballing and rolled the dice, I felt the N/NW would work well!
It's a nice property surrounded by neighborhoods with a chunk of land aproximately 300 X 600 yards of huntable territiory.
I walked in @ 2 o'clock (from light blue square) and traversed the south portion of the swamp edge and noted a trail coming out of the cattails.
I continued toward the end of the swamp (to the west) within 150 yards of the home, headed south into some thick pines and walked deer trails back creating my scouting loop.
Had good FRESH sign! At this point I decided to run a few errands and was back in this spot and setup @ 4:38.
The map shows the red line a my access route to my tree stand which is shown by the red dot.
The deer trail is blue and the 3-Doe's came out @ the deer trail I spied just 3-hours earlier @ 5:20.
They walked very cautiously from the ground scent I had left along with the 15 mph winds.
I saw the Doe I killed first, and thought she was definately large with the two-others in tow,(most likely this years fawn along with her 1.5 year old sister).
It took them 10-minutes to travel the 30-yards where I killed her @ 8-yards slightly quartering away (shown by the white dot).
My view
The deer trail they came out of.
They where a close as 2-yards for a few minutes, I wondered if they would bust me?
When she ducked her head behind this pine I drew my bow while the others where under me, good thing for that strong wind!
If you blow the picture up you can see my nockturnal glowing. After the shot she headed West (green line, died @ purple dot) and the others ran back in the swamp...
I watched her run out of sight about 80-yards away.
I could see my white fletchings where still white so I got down after snapping some photos of the terrain only to find some stomach matter with some white hair (somewhat encouraging).
Found some good blood immediately and decided to wait until later that night to commence my search.
Tracked her with good blood for about 175 yards and then started getting smaller drops of blood along with maple leaves (red markings are tough to pick blood spots out),
then batteries went dead in my hand flashlight, so I went back the next day.
Went back to my tape marking that I left in the tree at last blood and continued on only to find/remind me of the close proximety of the houses - LOL!

Your son is funny 
But something tells me that that son of yours has a good teacher, the apple don't fall to far from the tree.
