Well not to give Atlasman a big head(we know he knows) he is correct. We have QDM the last 3 years and instead of seeing 1 or 2 big boys a year. This year I seen 6 and shot 2. It is still hard, but if we can make it easier and it is what you want to do then go for it. Last day's hunt I seen 12 different bucks. Because we have the buck to doe ratio about 2 to 1(which is good for MI) the ruts have been more active. I had 12 bucks after 1 hot doe that morning.
Now what Atlas has to understand it took a lot of hard work to get our property to this stage. We have planted CRP fields and food plots. Yes we reap the benifits, but you should when you put hard work in. Shooting a big deer is never easy, but if you can tilt the odds a little in your favor then do so!!!
