Shot a buck the first week of rifle season here in VA. My daughter shot 1 the 3rd week? We lost a farm we had leased for the last 15 years. So all we had to hunt is our land. I’ve never shot a buck on it since I’ve owned it.
Have some cool videos of the buck she shot running a doe around me during the first week of black powder. We had pics of him during the summer on the minerals. I let him go hoping she would see him. She finally did. Also some bear videos from up on the mountain on a buddies land. Don’t know how to post videos?
When I still lived in NC I always hoped our neighborhood would adapt it. It was a massive gated neighborhood and overrun with does and fawns. They’d gotten so comfortable they wouldn’t move for your car or leave the yard if you walked outside. Forget growing anything. It was gone as soon as it sprouted. It truly needed some serious deer management. You could have stacked your freezer and still donated to feeding the hungry.
