I feel QDM is a great idea. The only problem I hear of it is when people try to make it an excuse to do something.

When someone shoots a small buck with the statement "I wanted to take the buck's bad geneticsout of herd", and it is only a 2 1/2 year old buck, then that's just a poor excuse. Team Illinois from Deam Season a year ago, tried pulling that one. I feel it's one of the biggest reason the Drurys didn't pick them too.

QDM has also given the image that you have to shoot several doe. Not always is it good for the herd to shoot a doe. I have a couple hunting spots where I haven't shot a doe in over 10 years, mainly because the herd needs them. But other spots I try to take as many. It just depends.

I feel QDM is great, as long as somebody doesn't make it into a badexcuse to shoot a deer.
