but I know you can not just go out a kill a deer on any property without a permit and that includes public and private,

When you own a farm you must apply for a kill permit for your own property to kill more than the allotted deer allowed by law.

LJ;563587 wrote:Each city is different yes. But the actual state law does not requure a special permit Unless it is your own private property. I kill deer on my property in Coshocton without permits and check them in. I've never been arrested Yes, that is a nuisance permit and most farmers get 5-12, but those are usually out of season and allow the use of a rifle. That isn't what is being talked about

I did not think that I could walk outside my house in a residential neighborhood and just shoot deer in my front yard without a permit but I guess I learn something new everyday.

Nuisance permits are actually difficult to get from what I've been told. Have to show crop/property damage that disrupts your business or causes significant financial/safety loss.

So here is my question let's say I had a crossbow (because discharging a gun in the city is illegal ) and I shot one of the deer, would I be able to process the deer without a hunting license or a deer tag? Could I claim the deer were a nuisance on my property and avoid any legal trouble?

By the way I would never shoot the deer I am just curious as to what the laws allow.
