RE: QDM and friends
My grandfather owns 2000+ acres in a county that is a 4 points on one side only county. I would call myself a novice hunter due to only 6 years of hunting under my belt and it wasn't until this year that I took my first buck (with a rifle) If you think it is tough convincing your friends QDM is a good idea try convincing a 70 year old man that maybbe he should take the occasional doe. On our property we regularly see 30-40 does every evening so all of the big bucks say to hell with coming out during legal light but he will not shoot one. I think because QDM is a recently developed entity; it will take a while to really catch hold. You can't just change years and years of beliefs. just my opinion. Any one else hunt in 4 point or better counties and see improvements. The only problem I see with this is that you can get young 2.4 year old bucks that are 7-8 pointers taken that could become real bruisers.
