Almost...
The house is the only one in my hunting area.
It is a forestry building in the middle of nowhere.
At least by our standards...

But you are right:
The year round hunting here in dedicated areas is way different and often starts just behind the fence of the last garden.

Roe deer can be taken with anything .22 Hornet and up.
Although the legal calibers start with the said .222 here.
I use my trusted .308 Winchester with lead-free deforming bullets for two reasons:

A) Opportunities... In my area you can always encounter wild boar.

B) These bullets are highly accurate in my rifle, are super consistent in performance and do very little meat damage. Entrance wound is caliber size. Exit usually less than 2 or 3 cm. Barley any hemorrhage in the muscle tissue. Very clean!

Cheers

(By the way: The rifle is a slightly modified Tikka T3x Lite...)
