RE: What is QDM to you?
This is my take on QDM. i think QDM is a good thing to practice in a herd. not meaning that everyon has to practice it. i try to take 2 does to every buck i kill. the bucks i kill are good 3 yrs and over, unless there is a smaller younger 6 pt roaming. he would be taken as a management buck and any other deer that is hurt. now some people may think that a 6 pt is a trophy, and that is fine with me, because my first year that is what i shot. and i am proud of it. but everyone on this site has their own idea of a trophy. i believe that a doe is a trophy, any deer is a quality trophy in some way or form. yeah sure it might not be 190 inches and have all these kickers and points. hunting is something different to everyone, and you and i might have the same way of thinking about it and we may not, but that doesn't mean we can't be friends.
