When ever I see a post about"QDM" or theQDMA I know many will approach the thread with guns a blazin'!

FIRST, I must remind everyone that QDM isclaimed to be practiced by many folks in one form or another, however to often "QDM" is NOT practiced and applied as the founders of the term (the QDMA)meant for it to be!"QDM" is thrown around like some catch phrase when I can assure you, most folks simply have NO idea of what they speak! The QDMA does NOT support and approve of many folks who so loosly throw their terms and phrases around.Also, "QDM" should NOTbe confused with "TDM", they are totally different concepts and practices! [&:]

The QDMAis a group of individuals that represent THEmost-respected deer biologists, researchers and experts from around the country, it is not a single practice but an org. that works to promote sound management by educating sportsman about what needs to be done in order to regain control of todays herds and put the ratios and herd health back in check. Decades of improper hunting methods based on lack of sound biological facts have left todays herds badly out of whack and seriously scewed sex ratios. It's time to standup and take some responsibilty and all do our part.The QDMAneeds the help and support of serious management minded sportsman everywhere. It's a great, informative org and one you can be proud to be a part of. I tire of not seeing the org get the respect and attention it deserves because of the fact that a few uneducated individuals who know nothing about the org throw around some terms that they read in a magazine! It's NOT what several of you Antis think it is. Please take some time to actually look over the site and try to see if you understand where they're coming from and exactly what it is they are trying to do for our sport? I simply ask that anyone who wants to throw around the term "QDM" take some time to understand exactly what it IS! Thank you, good luck and good huntin'

Remember, "Shoot a Doe so the herd won't grow" and "Let 'em go soHE can grow"
