I know I give you QDM'ers a tough time. I probably shoot as many or more does than most of you. My problem with the whole thing is thatit's NOT a necessity to have a QUALITY herd to only shoot the mature bucks. MOST of those pushing it are really, in my opinion, nothing more than BIG HORN hunters. Herd quality would be a cross representation of all age groups and sexes.We all shoot does so don't preach that you should let the small buck walk and shoot only mature bucks. Most state laws are designed to keep herd sizes in control. When we start feeding, planting, supplementingand "GROWING" a herd that would otherwise NOT be sustainable on a piece of land... we've changed the whole deal. That's what QDM has become today. Raising cattle/deer to a lot of folks. They call it QDM... but that's just a smoke screen for "Look at me, I shot THE BIG ONE". It's not hunting....it's shooting. Most of you don't remember the days when getting a deer.... ANY deer was something special. Many states had NO season. I remember. Now we have the QDM'ers trying to shame us into not enjoying the spirit of the hunt and the adventures in the woods. It's all about having a bigger horn. How dare you tell me what I should and shouldn't do. How dare you belittle some guy for shooting a deer and being happy with it. All do not have private lands, time to scout, or time to hunt like some of you. They get a couple days here or there or an hour here or there. They like the meat, they like the hunt. They like to shoot a deer. And YES Dorothy, THEY KILL IT. THey don't "Harvest it". They just plain and simple kill it dead. They have fun, they puff out their chest a little and are proud of their hunt. I salute all who enjoy the game and make it fun for others. I don't care if my buddy has shot 200 deer. If he shoots a 4 pointer I tell him congrats, take a picture and see if I can help out with taking care of the meat. I'm proud of my buddy for enjoying himself. If someone gets in his face... I tell them to stuff it. He's my friend, he had fun and you aren't going to spoil it for him.
