I noticed that a lot of people like to claim they practice "QDM", yet they all seem to have a different take on what QDM is. Some people think it's growing bigger and more bucks on their property. Others say it's a buck to doe ratio (but never say what a good ratio is). From what I gather based on studying different DER and game commision sites is that QDM is what is best for the deer in terms of an "Ideal" environment. Which a lot of time entails a small DPSM ratio, like 5 DPSM (just an example, don't get on me for just throwing a number out there). Not nessecarily what hunters want becauseyou may go a couple days with out seeing a deer, if you are in the wrong spot. So I pose this questionto everyone out there that says the practice QDM. What is QDM to you?
