I applaud a person who can see a problem with the deer herd and come up with a management strategy to bring said herd into check. That takes a lot of patience and dicipline. 5 years from now, if Jeff sticks with it, he will be able to look back with a huge sense of accomlishment.
I'll be hard, but well worth it.
Good luck!

It's not that noble. I was ignorant until recently. I just felt like something wasn't right with the numbers I was seeing. So....I contacted the NCWRC and talked to the bio. Took a QDMA seminar on food plots. Came up with a game plan....and here I am. I told Rob QAM will be a side effect of the QDM (Which is the way it should be.....a bi-product). I think I can (maybe I'm being optimistic) shoot a 130" deer here in the next 3 or 4 years.
I hope I'm as disciplined and patient as I'm going to need to be. Thanks for the encouragement.
