What do you mean not represented well? I have to agree by the way. It was not put to a vote! Thay sent out a survey to land owners (many not Yoopers making the decision) and about half hunters, and that is how it was decided not to implement QDM. I guess you could say it was a "vote" but it was not a good representitive of the UP hunters who it will effect. If you were from Atlanta, GA and owned a piece of property up here and were a member of PETA, you could have been sent a servey and "vote" on the issue. Was total BS the way it was done.

One of the areas I hunt inbetween the Gwinn and Palmer area that is in QDM (5 year test area in the fifth year I believe) and really have not seen the big improvement yet. With that being said, I would still like to see a version of QDM, butfor herd health, not antler size, meaning taking more does!!!!The antlers will come on there own. I would like to see it with stipulations for younger and/or inexperienced hunters to take what they want, doe, spike, fork, tirdy pointer, whatever, to get them involved. Thanks for letting me rant! It is just my humble opinion.
