I was shooting at my 50 yard target in my back yard range when a deer that was in the tall grass in front of the target raised its head and was square in my cross hairs! I didn't even know it was there. If I was deer hunting with something bigger than a .22 springer? Thanks for posting, cool photo!
I wish the deer in my yard were comfortable enough to lay down like yours does ;-) They don't seem to mind me punching a little paper while eating corn from the dog bowls though? Waiting on the first fawn of year. Had three babies last year, and three the year before that.
Somehow they know when the season is open and if you are after them or not. We were building a box blind one summer, hammering nails and yuking it up and three walked up to see what was going on. Come opening day, nada!
