I just wanna ask somethin.If quality deer management worked well enough to produce moreP&Y bucks then wouldnt it be more common for a hunter to take one, wouldntit just be anothercommon sized buck? And would the standard for atrophybuck increase?
Great question!
There are alot of reasons why bucks don't grow to be old huge P&Y monsters. The herds haven't suffered up till now without them...why should more be "produced" in the name of QDM?
I don't want to take that any further because it starts to get into QDM vs QAM and that's not where I want to go.
