I think many confuse QDM with big bucks. From what I understand (and I am certainly not an expert) it is more about age structure and buck to doe ratio. Big bucks are just a natural by product.
Ding, ding, ding,..... BINGO! You win the prize! That's exactly what we try to tell most folks until we're blue in the face! It's about a balanced, healthy and better over all herd! Granted, yes it will improve bucks in both body and antler but it will also produce larger healthier Does and Fawns as well. I just can't imagine, for the life of me, why anyone in the world would be against it?
It's simple
Fear of not seeing any deer
It is easier to hunt an over populated herd, and hunters like to see deer when they hunt.
Reduce the size of their herd they will see less deer. Not about killing deer, but seeing deer IMO
