Firearms depending on zoning might be a issue and distance from buildings.
A bow, probably ok
But also consider can you kill it on your land without it crossing onto the neighbors?????????
Me I would not kill a deer at my residence. I like to hunt too much.

Sweet thanks for the link , looks like I can shoot shotguns muzzleloaders and bows . As for the deer running into the neighbors place that's a high probability due to the size of the piece of land I guess .a) I'd have a talk with said neighbors in advance to feel em out. Ask for permission, so you don't end up wasting meat later. :twocents:
b) don't worry about it and get the deer :dunno: :yike:

Deer generally run straight ahead when they are hit with a mortal shot. Waiting until the deer is facing an opportune direction may make the neighbors a non-issue. Hit 'em in the neck or head with a slug or muzzle loader and they should go down on that spot. Hunting from a lounge chair the deck seems less than pure though. Perhaps you should put a pop-up blind on the deck so you get the full experience. :chuckle:

Get an accurate 20 gauge bolt action shotgun and put a good scope on it. Shoot from a solid rest and using slugs shoot for the head or neck. Then no need to worry about it running onto the neighbor's property. Only issue would be the sound. Early morning might be waking someone up.
Beat me to it. Five acres is about 120 yards x 200 yards. I would expect a large percentage of bow shot deer to end up on the neighbors place. All of the advice from Bobcat will put him on your dirt.

Mount a Spool of "MuleTape" to your Bow and when he drops in front of the BBQ just off their Back Porch.....Crank up the Winch and Reel Him In! (Just hope your arrow holds.) :yike:
Problem Solved! :IBCOOL:
