re: Backyard Buck...Need a ruling

Favorite part about my childhood home was watching all the deer in the back yard at night. We never shot any at night but I did kill a few with my bow right out the back yard including a 11 point on Christmas Day that I have on my wall. He was chasing a doe across our yard. Our carport was around the back side of the house and when I was hunting I used to make my mom and dad park in the front yard by the street and use the front door to the house. It would ruin a hunt when the neighbors decided to come out and use a leaf blower, they would wave at me sometimes when I was in the stand. Now all the woods that held the deer is now another sub division. We still see a few at from time to time but nothing like it was when I was a kid.
