I was reading on the couch and happened to look up out the window and saw this in my yard. Too bad it's out of season, but nice to know they are still around.

Good looking buck Neil. Glad you noticed him. Now you know you'll have steak in the future. Unless of course, your neighbors don't get him first.
 
Just keep those munchies growing for another season and maybe he will visit at the right time just to thank you.
 
When I was stationed in South Carolina, I had a 2 acre back yard. I had 100lbs of feed corn out there and one morning I awoke to a decent buck out there just eating away. I stepped back into my bedroom, grabbed my .270, locked open the screen door, took aim, and fired...from INSIDE my house.

SWMBO immediately started screaming...as did my 3 year old daughter. She rockets out of our bedroom, scrambling to get to my daughter. She is impeeded by the copious amount of smoke in our living room along with the smell of burnt sulfur and black powder. Meanwhile, I'm feebly attempting to hide the gun and pretend nothing happened.

The only good thing about this situation was that I actually clean killed the deer and I got some decent meat out of it.

I think I was on the couch for at least a week....
 
Nice rack.. I saw at least 4 full sized Statesmans and a couple of Jr's
If I had that trophy and caught someone trying to turn part of it into a pen, I think they would end up mounted over my fireplace.....:biggrin:

I like to live dangerously.
I also swim 10 minutes after eating, and I run with scissors.
But I do keep a clean pair of underwear in the glove box
in case I'm in an accident.

There's a fellow done in East Texas in the little town I was born near whose regular deer stand is on his back porch... supposedly he get one or two every year, just sitting on the back porch.

I didn't because I had stopped hunting by the time I got there, but I could have done that in PA. My cabin backed up to State Game Lands so I could sit on my deck and watch. Saw deer almost every day.

It's kinda nice and peaceful to sit on the deck and watch a few deer cross the property or wander about... I have them come down into the yard occasionally where I live, but not too often... I have a dog that I've been told will run deer... In Lakeway Texas there are so many deer wandering around the yards that people are getting fed up as they feed on the shrubs and flower in their yards... when my son was a police office there, his worst nightmare was that someone would hit a deer with their car and he would have to go out and shoot it... he's kind of a softy about those things... :biggrin:
