"they

Education -vs- emotion huh? Your education is based on trophy buck management and nothing else! Your a trophy hunter
period! Their are alot of us "regular ole plain vanilla brown it's down kinda guys". In laymans terms , we're
hunters!
<font color=red>Some people don't agree with Quality Deer Management but every time a hunter decides to shoot or not shoot a deer it is a management decision which affects the given herd. Is shooting an immature buck a prudent management decision...not in my opinion and not according to many more qualified biologists opinions either.</font id=red>
Wrong! Your confusing QDM with TBM! BOWDACIOUS did his QDM part by harvesting three doe this year. QDM is indeed an important management tool , but there is a big difference between QDM and trophy buck management. QDM is a tool to improve the overall health quality of the heard that was taken further by big $$$ outfitters to create more big $$$ trophy bucks. Wisconsin DNR and alot of other states have been practicing QDM with their aggressive doe harvest plans. At least the outfitters around here call it what it is , Trophy Buck Management.
As far as the guys who have seen pics of monster bucks ,and say they'd probably crap their pants if they saw one<img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle> I bet if you had your way and everyone everywhere practiced TBM , then nobody would crap their pants when the big one walked in , it would be just another big buck , ho hum. Some hunters are perfectly happy harvesting mediocre bucks while hoping some day that huge trophy buck (you know , that rare mystical creature , the one you cant see everytime you go out , due to TBM) will come by.
