I never said not to shoot does.
What I did say is if you" should " shoot the first "doe" then you" should "shoot the first " buck "also.
That's where some opponents of QDM show their short sightedness. They think its about reducing the population this year and not next year and the year after. You can't do that shooting young bucks. Plus true QDM, as has been said here before, is about better buck to doe ratios. How do you accomplish this while shooting young bucks?
IMO people who do not believe in QDM, maybe not the QDMA, are selfish and living for themselves now, not the future and the betterment of the herd.
"Just because you can do something, doesn'tmean its a good idea."
Good post dan.
Hey, is "betterment" really a word? Sounds like chewing gum...
