My place borders public game land. I always see deer and turkey, and occasionally bear and wild boar, in my front yard. I won't shoot them there, wouldn't be sporting. But, I do have a stand less than 200 yards from the house for deer season. I figure if I can get up, get dressed and go to my stand, then it's all good. But if I stick my rifle out my bedroom window, that just doesn't sit right.
It is about the ethics that we were brought up with
Like I tell people it is hunting not killing.
If I wanted to kill I would just buy a bunch of chickens and start loping off heads.
I hope to retire up in the interior and walk out my front door to go hunting.
I do envy you a bit there

Battery is getting low so if I disappear you will know why

My brother takes apples to his stand and puts them out for the week before deer season starts. First morning of deer season, he's always got one on the ground before 7:30 am. They come to eat and he just shoots from about 25 yards. There is no sport in that.
