RE: Antler Restrictions?
We started QDM 3 years ago on our property. We now have more big bucks, a more intense rut, and a better buck to doe ratio (just like the research said we would). My dad was totally against QDM at first until I told him this, if there was a 4 point, a 6 point, and 10 point infront of you which one would you shoot? His answer was obviously the 10pointer, My reply was if you let the bucks grow there will be a lot more 10 pointers. He then said what if a 4 point is a trophy to me? I said you've never mounted a 4pointer, but you have mounted 2 10pointers & 2 big 8pointers. Dad has sense come around to the right way of thinking. It comes down to self control, almost all hunters would rather shoot a bigger buck. The science has proved how to have more mature bucks, let go of your stubborn pride and open your mind, and if you are truley a "meat hunter" just shoot does, they taste better and there are plenty of them to shoot in most areas of the country.
