So what ya'll are saying...this QDM isnot about the health of the herd or for the good of the herd really. In fact it's all about BIG HORNS so I can pound my chest. A half rack makes a mature deer suddenly inferior. As I've said all along. Most QDM nuts are totally horn hunters. DOn't give me all this bull about health of the herd yada yada yada. It's pound my chest when I get lucky and let everyone know... I am the greatest. These same people are the ones that say you shouldn't shoot that nice little basket rack even though you only get to hunt 2 days a year. They say you're hurting the herd and should let them "MATURE". Now we find out it's really, let them go so I can possibly shoot one with both sides of his rack when it's big. I don't care what age he is.... just make his horns whole and bigger than your's. Go to it macho boys. Now I know why the Outdoor channel and MOR have all these "Male Enhancement" commercials.
Great post David! What you caught them at is the attitude of at least 90% of the so called QDM ers I run across. And they are the loudest supporters of making it mandatory for ALL deer hunters to hunt as they do so that it increases their chances for a "trophy". Trouble is if it works, then the bar needs to continually be raised for a "trophy to be" worthy.
