This issue is a two edge sword,
I don't live or hunt in a QDM,but there is one near me,that my brother and dad live in.
In the area near me it does not seem to be working very well at all.
I myself have no problem with young hunter's or those young to hunting.
harvesting a younger buck.
To seethe excitement ofyoungster that has harvested a spike or fork,
That is a trophy in their mind.
What are they trying to do in the QDM (produce trophy animals).
I feel it's up to the hunter themselves to decide to let them go and let them grow,When they feel it.
Myself,Ionly shoot more mature animals,I do harvest doe's for meat.
My children by their own choice decide when they pass by the younger buck's.
Usually after a couple year's of hunting they decide,But it is their choice.
I don't want to start a argument,Just stating both side's.
I do agree some hunter's don't get it But myself I like to make my own choice.
