Have someone else fill the bowl so it's not yours. Have that done with out u seeing them do it. Kris87 Moderator Jul 29, You're cleaning out the pantry. Your bread is old so you throw it out for the birds. You go to shower, and when you come back, he's there, but the bread is all gone. Did the birds eat it or him? Do you take the shot then? I hope it's legal , cause I do it often , my neighbors don't like it though!!! Last edited: Jul 29, I think nite vision and a suppressor would make it legal.
Do your neighbors watch the deer eat every day and consider him a "pet"? Jeff Raines Senior Member Jul 29, BlackEagle said:. Deer hunting and nuisance control are highly regulated. You cannot shoot deer outside of established seasons and without a proper license or permit.
In urban and suburban environments where hunting is not feasible, consider implementing habitat modification, exclusion, and hazing solutions as first lines of control. If these approaches are unsuccessful, contact your state wildlife agency for guidance. The use of legal, regulated, hunting by licensed hunters can be useful for reducing local wildlife populations and can help reduce nuisance problems in Massachusetts.
Please also keep in mind that each town may have additional by-laws that restrict hunting and the discharge of firearms. Under Mass. General Law , Section 37, a property owner or tenant of land may hunt or take by other means, except by poison or snare, any mammal which he finds damaging his property, provided that such killing is not contrary to any federal law or regulation.
Animals killed under this law, must be reported to authorities within 24 hours. More information. A person shall not discharge any firearm or release any arrow upon or across any state or hard surfaced highway, or within one hundred and fifty feet, of any such highway, or possess a loaded firearm or hunt by any means within five hundred feet of any dwelling in use, except as authorized by the owner or occupant thereof.
Last fall, Ellis took possibly the biggest buck killed with a bow in state history somewhere in the northern suburbs, an enormous pointer he had nicknamed Zeus. As reported by Georgia Outdoor News , controversy followed, as Zeus was a beloved visitor to the back yard of a resident who fed the buck and who denied Ellis permission to hunt on his property.
Ellis killed the deer elsewhere and the resident claimed, apparently falsely, to have raised the buck as a baby and at one point given it a bell collar. The videos never reveal exactly where the hunting happens, though Ellis says it is around the Chattachoochee River and its tributaries, which the deer follow.
The videos suggest that a special challenge of suburban hunting is the relatively small chance that the buck will pass through yards and lots where the hunters have permission to be. The videos depict some of the controversial points about suburban hunting. On opening day, the hunters encounter an apparent poacher in a lot behind an office building. In one episode, Ellis shoots a deer, which then flees the property, leaving Ellis to wait for hours to see if it reappears on property he has permission to hunt.
The hunters also visit a Peachtree Corners City Council meeting to stave off a proposed weapons law that could have affected bowhunting. Suburban deer populations likely need to be controlled, including by hunting, says Brown, the game warden.
John Ruch is an Atlanta-based journalist. Previously, he was Managing Editor of Reporter Newspapers. More by John Ruch. Kudos to the City of Brookhaven for banning any sort of bow hunting!! What sort of man would take pleasure in sinking an arrow in a deer? The answer is clear, and compelling.
The biological impacts of not keeping these deer in check through proper hunting management can be extremely negative. Science and facts should always trump opinions and knee jerk reactions. People are responsible for inflating deer populations in urban areas and now need to be responsible for keeping these animals in check.
Responsible hunting is vital for responsible management. The issue here is about hunting in my backyard or my neighbors backyard. I heard of an incident in River Oaks of a deer with an arrow in his body bleeding out in front of children having a birthday party.
