In someone's backyard, that has no fear of most anything, the hardest part is to just either get permission or have enough money to buy access to those pet deer.I'd like to see you go shoot a 190 inch pet.
I know where 3 really good bucks are bedding in a backyard in Hendersonville. I have pics from a friend, One of them is is in the 170's if he is not in the 180's. If you are good at throwing, any one of them could be killed with a spear. The person that owns the house goes out and feeds his dog and the bucks lay there and watch him. I don't know if anyone could get permission, but they have been bedding in the backyard most every day. Would it be hunting? Nope. Would I post videos or even make a video of myself in a manicured yard shooting deer? Nope, never.
As far as the buck talked about in this post goes, I know nothing. I have never seen their videos, don't care to. And this deer may be a legitimate kill. Except that in August here, the hardest part of killing a good buck is finding him, not always but even large bucks can be easily patterned in August and to me that takes away from the hunting.
I have read where they shoot deer in backyards, those are pet deer. While I don't have anything against it, population control and eating those deer are 2 great things. Bragging about it, making videos, the fact that people even pay attention to someone shooting "pet" deer, especially ones that are almost tame, nah, could care less and I for sure don't think it helps anything other than their ego.
And some are correct, I have wasted to much time on this. For sure won't waste anymore.
