Deer management only really works when everyone is doing it, and then it usually only takes two or three years to really see good results. When the hunters in the surrounding areas are not practicing management harvesting techniques you arefighting an uphill battle.
Tomfromtheshade hit the nail on the head. I agree 110%! You can practive QDM all you want, but if your parcel of land isn't large enough, and the hunters around you don't practice it also, you are fighting an uphill battle (I couldn't have said it better)!
