Lunchtime sighting ...from my kitchen!!

[Darion]

I live on the outskirts of a large in a fairly quiet subdivision, my backyard borders a tree nursery of a local landscaping company. I am sitting down to lunch today with my two girls when I look up to see a 2.5 yr old 8 pointer casually strolling by about 60 yards from the deck. My daughter was just as excited as me. She wanted to put a sled behind him, go for a ride.. then eat him. Ha Ha
Oh the irony of hunting, I have been thinking and studying where to find the bucks on public land and this guy just strolls through my backyard at 1 in the afternoon. .. I think I am going to go work on my tracking skills this afternoon.

I found an old backyard bucks thread, time to setup a stand!

i had the same thing happen a few weeks ago, this buck was chasing a doe in my back yard... We live right in the middle of town, but the woods is probably 500 yards away. The doe's come here in the fall to eat apples from our tree, but I've never seen a buck, until now, pretty cool!

Exactly, my first thought was "where is my bow?". The second thought was it's probably not a real good idea to shoot a deer on someones property w/out permission. But it is still cool to watch em!!

My backyard buck from this year, coming into a mock scrape. FYI this is the same buck, I patched two photos together. Have another one about as big as him running around too. You need some BEASTLY discipline to not hunt these kind of bucks they are only there at night. I think my neighbor still thinks I'm crazy for hunting public land but oh well.

Just got in blind on a 10 acre piece behind my house. After a big 9 point. Backyard bucks are Davy. Been after this guy for two years. Only seen him once in the woods.

lol, my old house was across the street from a huge nursery and I had a large lot...used to have a doe family out back almost every night. Just for kicks I put a camera up and couple nights later a real nice buck was chasing them around between 2a and 4a..musta been coming back from the bars in town I guess.

I couldn't grow anything even next to the house, they would eat it in broad daylight

My 15 month old woke up at 11:30 last night. As I was sitting in the living room with him getting him back to sleep I see a buck walk by the window. Stand up to see where he is going and he and another were eating the bushes next to the garage... A six and an eight. We live in the suburbs west of Milwaukee. Get lots of deer here. Here's a pic from the weekend before gun season this year. This may be one of the deer that was here last night.

My wife has said not shooting the deer that come through the yard. I had to tell her that is fine with the does but if a buck comes by I am shooting first and asking forgiveness after second.
