City Deer

[yellalinehunter]

Have any of you guys ever shot a deer off your back porch or in the city with other houses nearby? I'm talking about homes with .5-.75 acres yards and a few empty lots here and there. What are your thoughts? Possible implications and applicable laws? thanks!

Corn and .22 to the ear.

Biggest deer I've ever taken was in the city limits of Vicksburg,Ms
He was the smallest of about 5 different bucks that I had been watching!

I also worry about shooting on with a bow and having it run a neighborhood yard. However, the deer where I live are totally out of control and need to be thinned. I think many would understand but there a lot of pet deer out there. If I had no where to to hunt I would definitely be smacking them though. Someone needs too

Is it legal to hunt with a harpoon?

Bristol TN game warden threatened to persecute anyone hunting in city limits, he said the attorney would to the fullest even when I said wirh a bow. I have 52 area behind my house full of deer. He said I cannot. It's clearly away from houses. Any answers

Fullest persecution from an attorney sounds brutal.

The city owns the land. It could potentially lead to many citations.

Yeah. That's totally different. I thought he was saying he has 52 acres, not that he neighbors 52 acres. If they own the land then it's a no go. I'm deleting the prior post to avoid any confusion.

You mind editing and deleting the quote? I don't want any inaccurate info floating around.

Why's that ?

You know. Cause seek daddy can't take it. Or…maybe some follow the rules.

The town I live in you can't hunt in town limits either. But the town police have deer shoots. Makes no sense. I've been trying to get them sell a limited number of permits to hunters For years.

You know we have rules and then they have their own set of rules. Rules for thee but not for me.

Yep. But the one good thing about it. They do have a processor who donates all the time and effort to give the meat to families and the food bank. But really, we could do the same.

I have deer in my backyard (5acres) but have never hunted it. Been tempted.
