Quality Deer Management=Trophy Bucks so in essence, one could say that quality deer management is trophy deer management...one could certainly NOT say that non-QDM=TDM. Also, I would say that a lot of areas I hunt are in good health, buck to doe ratios are reasonable and most bucks are likely to reach at least 3.5 years of age and I guarantee you that when a PY or better buck nears my stand I get pumped beyond description...there aren't monster bucks walking by your treestand every 5 minutes 20 yards broadside begging you to shoot them...what a horrible and ignorant misconception. Old bucks=smart bucks...young bucks=dumb bucks. Have a nice evening.
