I have been hunting my back yard since the mid 80`s, the hunting party is just a few friends and relatives,we have taken 4 bucks over 200lbs one at 232lbs a fine 8pt., we have taken a lot in the 150 to 190lb range mostly 6pt or 8pt. In New Hampshire we also have a doe season and we have collected a few of them ranging from 140lbs to an embarrassing 64lb my son whacked this year with a 35rem in a model 8 on old gun day! My first deer with a handgun way back in 86 I shot walked up to it,saw it had given up the ghost,lit a cigarette put my rope on and drag ed it back home went into the house called a Friend and put the smoke out in the ash tray on the bar, close yes!
WE are fortunate that my land borders a large piece of land that landlocked with no access from tar or dirt roads its all forest and swamp deer seem to love it.
One of the employees at an old job complained that he never saw a deer during season so I invited him out brought him into the woods told him where to sit and to look, 30 mins later we heard the shot a nice 190lb 10 pt. fell to his rifle.
I use to get up in the wee hours of the morning to go hunting drive to pick up hunters drive to where we are going to hunt and then after hiking all around drive back, some might call me lazy but when I can get up dress eat and be hunting in just a few minutes no driving waiting for others its kind of nice, yeah I hunt my back yard.
