Re: Backyard deer hunting
Provided you can safely shoot from your house and not jeopardize others, you can disregard the 50/150 yard safety zone issue IF YOU HAVE WRITTEN PERMISSION from all of those within the safety zone.
Now with that said, I wouldn't claim to be "hunting" when I shot the deer. Yes, you would be required to tag, etc. according to game law. I still wouldn't brag about it.
We get deer in our yard (sorry, no pics) that I could kill w/ a well thrown hammer.
I do have a stand in my back yard (mostly to take the kids "hunting"). I have it set up in the wooded portion of the yard facing the woods. The rule is, if the deer is in the grassy portion of the yard, it's off limits. If the deer is in the wooded portion, it's "wild" and fair game.
Yes, I realize that it's semantics. But, by the end of muzzleloader season, all the damn deer are hiding in the subdivisions. At least this way I can pretend that it's a "wild animal" and not a "Dorito bandito".Sed ego sum homo indomitus

Re: Backyard deer hunting
Haven't seen this guy for a while, thank God. He used to wake me up at sunrise on the weekend. I see deer every couple days too.
I'm in the North Hills of Pittsburgh, it's residential, but heavily wooded. I thought about hunting in the back yard, but I know my next door neighbor would not appreciate it. I could easily get a 50yd safety zone for archery, but I just haven't gotten into the whole archery thing. I'd rather goto deer camp with the guys, and not get/see anything.

Re: Backyard deer hunting
The first vehicles normally on the scene of a crime are ambulances and police cruisers. If you are armed you have a chance to decide who gets transported in which vehicle, if you are not armed then that decision is made for you.
Be prepared, because someone else already is and no one knows their intent except them.

Re: Backyard deer hunting
The deer that roam my yard and eat everything within sight just found out what full auto smacks on the butt from an 300FPS mp5 airsoft feels like.
Now they dine at the neighbors.
