I believe hunters were antler pumping zombies long before QDM came about. The thing is the payoff for QDM (big bucks)can satisfy the zombies. Hell, I'm a zombie, I like big bucks as much as the next guy, but I like deer more.

I live very close to Valley Forge National Park which is off limits to any type of hunting because it is federal property. The deer on that propery are skin and bones because the population is well beyond the carrying capacity and there is not any real tonnage of browse for them to eat. Their primary food source is grass and a small number of oaks. It is very sad to see deer in that condition (note I said deer, not bucks unable to reach their full potential).

Examples like this and the very small amount of knowledge I have on the subject make me fully support and QDM efforts even if there is a slant toward producing trophy bucks to keep hunters happy. Heck, that is even better for me, because it's good for the deer and feeds my zombie appetite.

MMMmmmmm, aaaannntttllleeerrrs!
