Colorado where 200 feet outside the back door is a two hundred yard range , the only problem is how do you keep the muleys off the range while you shooting. Have a nice day Don K

I've always enjoyed watching them ignore shooting when they're used to it. A whitetail tends to not appreciate any shooting near them in my area.
I've attended LRPR schools in NM where they told us to roll off of the rifles until the muleys ambled away. They'd just pop up behind the berm all of a sudden. This was after shooting had been going on for a couple hours.

I have had deer and turkeys wander across the rifle range at one of the local gun clubs while multiple people were shooting here in southcentral Pennsylvania.

Some years back on a remote property that I owned at the time I was doing some shooting for load development of one of my hunting rifles. I had shot at least 15 rounds when I took off my muffs to walk down my range to hang some new targets when I heard elk talking! What the hell? I walked over to the edge of the ridge that was behind my bench and looked down and there was a small herd of 10+ elk feeding about 50 yards away. The shooting didn't seem to bother them at all. I went back to shooting a short while later and looked down the hill again and they were bedded some 100+ yards away without a care in world chewing their cud. Go figure. Couldn't find them to save my soul come hunting season though.

The smart ones can read the regs & tell time.

A dozen years ago, Sixshot and I were alone, shooting on the Hunters Pistol range at the NRA Whittington Center, when a mule deer doe ran over the 50 yard impact berm and directly toward me, crossing the covered firing line about 10 feet from me. Hard for me to believe what I was seeing.. Dick didn’t notice it until it was nearly to the firing line. I was shooting a .44 Mag.
I’m thinking Dick might wear some sort of deer attractant cologne.
