Got a buddy that is getting a little too comfortable around here...
Say hello to my little friend

I'm in a suburb and have deer in my yard every night, I'm never tempted to shoot one though. It's a $10,000 fine for poaching and that buys a lot of steaks.

Crazy he would just pop by with the racket from compressor going on and rifle pointing out window. Beautiful though.

Same problem here. I live on 10 acres in a rural area and checking for deer wandering into the shooting lane is part of the pre-shot routine.
We usually have a resident doe, her fawns and one or two young does over the summer. In the fall groups of 6 to 9 deer and the odd buck or two are typical. Winter time the deer yard nearby and it's common to have 15-20 deer troupe by.
This summer has been different in that there's 4 does ( 2 with fawns) and 5 bucks around. You know those cement lawn ornaments? Yeah, there was a real 8 point buck and 2 does bedded on my front lawn this morning.
No longer hunt deer, it's nice to watch them.

The one in the video is the small one. We have 4 that come and sleep under a cedar. I don't hunt deer, so they are safe. Here is another:

When out hunting deer, it is sometimes more fun to just watch instead of shoot. They really are cool animals, though they taste great as well

Try driving down a busy down town main street in Ruidoso NM and have some young Elk crossing right in front of you. Or, going to one of the local parks and there's a herd of wild horses grazing.
