Michigan QDM? I thought I saw this phrase in a catalog of oxymorons?! I am a Yooper and would LOVE to see some sort of QDM go into effect. Last yaer there was refferendum being signed and then it went to a vote for a QDM proposal, but I feel that the group doing the circulation really dropped the ball. The proposal was poorly announced so voter turnout was poor, but it did nearly pass. One of my best friends in a QDM zone in central Dickinson county and they have seen incredible results from a 3 or more on a side rule. On our property we only take mature deer, but those are few and far between since there are not very many people on the same plan. I would be all in favor of a QDM proposal restricting points, or AT LEAST a no spike law. Even just that would help out. I had heard that UP Whitetails is going to get another plan going so hopefully they get the word spread far and wide to those who will be in favor. The problem with these deals is that the groups have to be careful in a sense not too alert too many people that are against the proposal and this is the tricky part. Of course, another problem is our stellar DNR sitting in Lansing with their collective thumb up their a**. Anyway, season opens in 5 days so its not going to happen this year, but if we can get the ball rolling on here that is definetely a start. Good luck to all you fellow Michiganders!
