NYhick,
As someone early one said, consider joining QDMA. They have some good books and videos available not to mention their quarterly journal
Quality Whitetails. Membership is only $25/yr.
Another thought might be to have a knowledgeable biologist that you have chosen come to a eating meeting and discuss the issue from that perspective.
If they are not willing to make the changes, you will save yourself much groaning if you find a club that is managed as you would like to see. It is sort of like eating at a diner that serves terrible food, you just promote them to continue in their methods. The truth is, QDM is changing the way many of us are hunting and we are enjoying the results.
Good luck!!!
QDM is Managing Today for a Better Tomorrow
