The longer you wait, the better the odds tilt in your favor. Start pushing deer around now because one has shed and you'll be shooting yourself in the foot. This is where the self control comes in to play...

I get what your saying, its just if you knew this area you wouldnt be worried about pushing them around. its surrounded by houses, lots of dogs, kids running around also its right by a popular park all and all its really busy so im not to worried. couldnt agree more on your comment though
