Which is why I'm guessing he added a smiley face. Nice bulls. I'm envious I only have deer and turkey.

I have an Airport in my back yard. Not kidding, my grandparents owned it for years. Now it is owned by a bunch of people. Small planes, nothing bigger than 10 passenger. I would rather have the Elk, although I have killed a lot of deer down at the airport. Gonna sit it tonight as a matter of fact. Shawn

I shot this photo of a tremendous CA Blacktail from my master bathroom a few years ago when I lived on the SF peninsula. We had an inside fence and occasionally in the summer, deer would bed ten yards above where the buck is standing.
In February,2010, the year after I moved to Reno, I flipped on the backyard light and opened the back door before daybreak one morning to let my dog out. There, not 15 yards away, was a mountain lion staring back at me! But he took off a few seconds later so I did not get a photo.

Over the last three days, CO first combined rifle season, has seen four bucks and one really nice 5 X 2 (was a 5 X 6 during archery season but got broken in a fight) bull, shot in our "backyard" (National Forest abuts our property). We still have the rest of this season and two more combined seasons so more critters are sure to end up as table fare.

A white oak tree with deer crap under it ! And coyotes and hogs and the occasional coon or possum trying to eat my cat's food. Saw a doe and twins just yesterday morning when Sarge and I were taking our daylight pee. She was not impressed ! :)

From my windows/decks I often see elk (as many as a couple of hundred, including some pretty good bulls), mule deer (again some pretty good bucks, especially in November), black bears, cougars, turkeys, coyotes, foxes, eagles (bald and golden), and two days ago we had hundreds of sandhill cranes going over the house, evidently being pushed south by the cold front approaching.

Had this bull, in the backyard last year. Notice the wound on his side. Game wardens came out, tranquilized, removed an arrow(not mine), cleaned him up, shot him full of antibiotics and saved his life. He laid around for a few days for sure. Some time later he was hit and killed by a car. Backyard or subdivision elk are a car accident waiting to happen.

We get deer, bear, turkey and the occasional coyote and fox. Only thing I have never seen in the yard is a bobcat.
The deer like to bed in our front yard.

A few years back we had a rather large bear walk thru the yard to that telephone pole out by the road. I watched as it bit and clawed at the pole about 4 ft up and then turned it's back and rubbed. Wish I had the camera at the time.
This is a bear that a friend of mine got doing the same thing about 5 miles up the road. Not the same bear, but doing the same thing.

Here is a small one that came up on our front deck back in April. The wife left a bag of garbage on the deck for me to take out to the garage- think it was after that. Last time she will do that! ;-)
This shot was taken thru the storm door window after I tapped on the glass and yelled at it to "get out of here!" ;-)

Had a big, black sow and cub in the backyard this morning when I got up. Not enough light for a good picture, but pretty neat to see anyway!

Starting to get closer to the rut, getting new bucks every morning and evening. Saw a giant this morning.

These darned things are in my backyard nearly every day in spring and summer. They scratch their neck on the deck railing. My wife has given up on trying to plant any sort of flowers. Maybe someday I can draw a tag with all these points and get some vindication!

Coyote with a "fenced" raccoon. Too bad they didn't get to meet each other. I wonder who would have come out of it in better shape.

I call this guy Palmer. This is the second year he has shown up. Too bad I can't hunt in my backyard. Date/time stamp is wrong, it is from just a few days ago. I forgot to reset it when I plugged in the new battery pack.

Some dandy back yard bucks and bulls and a goat lol,,Not so fast MNRazorhead give him one more year ! he`s tail is a bit short (probably broke off fighting) and that`ll cost him a point or two,put your tag on him next season...hahahahaha

Here is a front view of Palmer. He has a bit of character to his rack. The only way he will be tagged is by a car, unfortunately.
