Same here in the bottom half of Michigan, Zone 3. Last year a friend who lives about 45 miles north of me in a rural area shot a nice 8 pt. buck from a blind literally 100 yds. from the back of his house with a crossbow. Went back to garage, got his ATV, drove out and hauled it back to his garage and hoisted it up with a trolly and dressed it.
Then last week, another friend who lives in an upscale small wooded are in Troy showed me a photo he took with his phone of two bucks in his back yard the prior week.. One was a 10 pointer and the other was an 8. He was on his back deck and they were about 30 ft. from him just looking at him.........LOL!
I’m in NJ at the moment for the next two months for family stuff. My mom and dad live on Raritan Bay, Union Beach. Its duck season right now. Homes are maybe 100 yards away from our spot. I’m going out in a few with my 10 gauge semi auto. It raining right now, perfect conditions. You can see lower Manhattan and Coney Island Brooklyn in one direction, Staten Island the other. It pretty interesting, imho.
Take care and make it a great dsy.

“In NJ rifles are not permitted for hunting; shotgun and bow only.”
“Same here in the bottom half of Michigan,”
MI has a new law and some rifles are permitted in zone 3 for deer hunting. 44 mag rifles are legal everywhere in the state for deer.
