Backyard bucks...
« on: January 07, 2015, 12:36:24 PM »
  Since I have tons of deer in the yard all the time I will just start one picture thread here for a while showing what I have had in my yard.  We've lived here for 29 years now and I still cannot take one of the "pets". If I do that I lose my excuse to the wife to go out the rest of the season to hunt and she would have a huge list of things for me to do.

At what point do the pets stop being pets and represent a meal on the table. Sounds like you pets need a thinning

  We are close enough to areas open to hunting so they get thinned every year.  It's my choice not to shoot the yard deer, I like getting out to hunt better than saying I got one.

A few of our backyard deer. I have around 25 mulies and 25 whitetail that I feed during the winter. Some choose to live here year round.

I would have had 0 issues ventilating one of them, but my father in law didn't want one running into the neighbors yard and bleeding all over the place.... Unfortunately it wasn't up to me. This year will be different. My goal is to harvest all my animals before you, so I'm entitled to my chest thumping.

I drive by your place all the time, usually can't see the deer because all the turkeys are in the way!! :chuckle:  I've got about the same amount around my house all winter, wife loves to see them, but hates that they eat everything she tries to grow.
