I see where your coming from, I also practise my own QDM on my property. We set it at 6 or bigger. The problem lies on the outskirts of my 160 acres, which is state land. All the time planting food plots and trying to "better the herd"is destroyed by state landers who shoot whatever crosses there path, including countless spikes and 4 points which could have been good bucks in a year or 2.
