Default RE: QDMA or Antler farming?

I've said this before.......QDM in it's true form is a good thing, but when people start to pass up younger bucks or kill bucks with antlers that they deem "inferior" just to "cull" them, or not killany buck that can be taken without a negetive impact on the herd, just because they feel the buck is too small, I feel they have crossed over to TDM.

For the record, if that's what you like to do it's fine by me....but don't justify it by saying your practicing QDM because your not, you just trying to grow bigger antlered deer at that point.


Edit: I must edit this to say that waiting for a slammer to show up and passing on smaller bucks in the mean time is fine. I myself have done this before many times, but that's not QDM either....it's just "selective hunting".
