Only if he's hunting over it but I'd probably bash you for suggesting it. Heck I'll take a picture from my treestand on opening morning. I can smell the bacon in the kitchen from my treestand in the edge of the woods at home lol.
 
Speaking of urban deer, I found me another public land doe killing spot yesterday. The property line is about 100 yards away, and the deer bed mostly on public. Most of the oaks are on public too. They just had to get some of that pear tree...

I'll chime in after reading most of this:

1) Deer hunting for a living is not "working hard". A lot of people here bust their backs to scrap by for a living. Plain and simple they are not worried about the next paycheck traveling across the country hunting.

2) That bucks is massive and if free range and legal, they put time and effort into killing it then I'm happy for them. I've hunted urban and everywhere. No it's not easier so to speak but it is easier to pattern the deer with hundreds of cell cams instead of relying of scouting and instincts hunting public land. It brings a different set of challenges as others have stated. I'd shoot that deer anywhere but a high fence tbh.

3) The YouTube and social media aspects are killing the sport. They all say they are doing it cause they love it yet sell merchandise and profit off of it…just saying. I've had and I know others have had spot after spot ruined by people posting pics to fb/Insta/YouTube videos. Heck, look what catman did to yanali. It does add to the "look at me generation" we are in. I like to look at pics/videos like everyone else does but most people now just hunt or fish for the likes. Heck, it cracks me up to hear seek1 complain about how tough it is now to get spots in ATL due to competition that they are solely responsible for.

4) No matter how you hunt this year, have fun and enjoy the memories. We are losing opportunities and close family members daily to enjoy what we love. Take your son or daughter for the hour in the blind before they get tired or hungry. Go with your big papaul that time you don't feel like it cause you never know when it will be the last. Urban, Public, Private it don't matter. Good luck to everyone!

I'll post a pic of him him hunting over it opening morning
 
I would say that the majority of the bucks they have killed have died because of cell cam photos more than anything else. I can imagine that they really help hunt those suburban deer...that and bait in GA helps.
 
This dude gets access to some of the most impossible places to get access to. Then just whacks and stacks giants. I mean I would probably shoot that buck if I had the opportunity regardless of venue, but it is a bit easier when you get to hunt deer that have never been hunted before or maybe barely hunted.
I congratulate him for killing a great buck, but agree with some of the bashing... Its not the same as going to Ag land with people at least hunting around the area or especially public land and doing it.

very strongly disagree. Hunting deer standing in someone's yard that I could literally drive down the driveway, step out of my car, walk 20 yards in their direction, and shoot without them even looking up is a teeny tiny bit easier than finding a mature deer on the wma and putting him on the ground.
 
I just wonder how it plays out as in the turkey hunting with hevi shot and tss with longer shots…. The inexperienced being the subject… people trying to imitate him and someone gets shot in a subdivision…

I'm sure they care about being careful not to shoot someone, but they do take extremely unethical shots on deer and post the videos for all to see. It does make one wonder how many deer they don't recover that aren't shown. I'm very very much in favor of killing suburban deer and have zero problem with doing so, but these guys leave much to be desired to say the least.
 
I'll finally chime in at page 27-that is an impressive animal and nothing more. Just like every deer anyone has killed.. even the world records. Hunting for many is a sport of "how can I make this easier on myself while still inflating my ego as if I'm doing something brag worthy" In fact, I'd say almost every single one of us look for a route to make it easier to achieve the "success" we desire. Every product we buy is designed to make it easier on us. Every dollar we spend on property management is designed to make it easier on us. The design of every single weapon is nothing more than an attempt to make it easier on us. I have said it before-unless you are killing deer with your bare hands your opinion on how hard it is to kill them is meaningless. Deer hunting isn't a competitive sport by design but our human nature can turn it into one. At the end of the day hunting is about memories, food, and admiration of the animal you pursue. That's all.

I don't post much on here anymore myself but I'd hate to see one of the few members I enjoy reading from leave because of some jackwagon. We all disagree from time to time.

You make some excellent points, some that would require deep thought to argue but in the end you are correct. We train, practice and prepare to make the dire moment easy. Train harder than what your expecting, so what your expecting is easier.

However, I'll post one point that is puzzling to me. These YouTubers are actually making it tougher on themselves by publicizing what they do and inviting everyone else to do it.
Now everyone wants to hunt neighborhood deer and public land turkeys. For some likes and monetary gain these "influencers" have made it even more difficult on themselves.

The only thing that makes it tougher for me is trying to run a dang camera all the time. I have no trouble getting into deer or turkey on public, rural or urban. Some of my favorite spots are easy access, too.

I enjoy what I do, and if it ever becomes tougher down the road, I am up for the challenge.
 
Whew.... This thread is the gift that keeps giving.

Theres no doubt about it, I would rather have a beer with the Seek One guys than Headhunter.

(Excitingly Awaiting PM's). 😁

I'm all about being on a list with DA, Rem, Spurhunter and Catman.
