Living in a populated state can leave you with some nutty options for deer hunting. Here in CT, we can hunt through the end of January but only in the city boy zones. I love to hunt no matter where or what but still it's hard to get used to hunting looking at fifteen houses from your stand, so I force myself. Ocasionally you get a hit that's not quite perfect. With the leaves down, every neighbor around can see you tracking deer and it can cause problems. Here's one cure that works lickity split! Throw a Santa suit and a peel and stick beard and stash kit in your backback. If you have to do any tracking on other properties, just pop it on. Make sure you have a big enough sack to fit the whole deer. Bake a large pile of Chocolate chip cookies to put in the sack but substitue the chips for deer droppings/pellets (I use the ones from skippers. The big ones can get to long and oval). Then whip up a pitcher of doe urine eggnog. Anybody ask whats going on, you tell them you're Santa's  cousin cleaning up any mess his reindeer left behind, then offer up some treats. Grab your deer, throw it in the sack, and give a big Ho Ho Ho. Works everytime!!

Why don't ya just wear a white lab coat and tell em your a vet and Rudolf's sick and your taking care of him!

             Enjoyed the heck out of that one.

That is not just an urban problem. I had a taxidermist friend in Colorado who shot an elk during bow season. He trailed it up to a campsite with a dumbfounded family sitting their looking at it. You may be on to something with the Santa idea.

I'm really not sure you are taking this far enough.  You need a sleigh.
