i'm not sure what ya'll are arguing about. i'm in my twenties and have been hunting since i was a kid. up until recently in my life, i was pleased as punch to shoot 5-6 deer a year does and smaller bucks(meat for the whole families' freezers), because people who dont huntappreciated the meat, and i had bragging rights. i still followed a sense of QDM. now my goals have changed because i like to take new hunters and young hunters in the woods and i realized that if i want my "wallhanger" that i have not yet shot, i'll have to let the smaller deer walk. this is of course after i put a couple does in the freezer. my feelings on QDM dont change and i hope that my enjoyment of the hunt never change no matter what angle i look at it. just my opinion, i think we are all after the same ultimate goal, and that is to enjoy the hunt that God has provided us!
