The obsession with shooting big bucks is, in a way, corrupting our sport. So many new hunters buy a bag of minerals with a monster buck on the front and think that that buck will apper out of thin air. When it dosnt happpen the hunter quits. The false advertising and misleading advertisements IS corrupting our sport. Now qdm is a completely different game. QDM has done nothing but help our deer herds and in return helped our deer hunting. The idea of killing only mature bucks is nothing but good. This deer may only have a 6 point rack, but quess what, you probably just outsmarted one of the smartest wild animals on eart if you kill him. To me taking a mediocre mature deer is much better than killing a P&Y 2 1/2 or 3 1/2 year old buck. To me The obession of thinking you must kill a book buck is corrupting, i am and always will be involved and behind the QDMA. Yes a by product of QDM is bigger bucks usually. QDM is about HERD management and Herd health. Just my .02 cents
