I would be a much bigger supporter of QDM if it wasn't so much about the money. Now, guys have their own standards, and I have absolutely nothing wrong with that. Shoot what you want, I'll shoot what I want. What ticks me off is the regulations that are imposed and color it "for the good of the herd." BS......QDM is about big antlers which generate big money.

Case in point. Missouri has the best population of deer it's EVER enjoyed, and that didn't come from the "help" of antler restrictions; aka, QDM. They CLAIMED the intent of the regulations was to shift the harvest from bucks to does.......Somebody wanna tell me how implementing an antler restriction is gonna do that?? If some one is only shooting a buck, he's not gonna shoot a doe. He's just gonna wait for a legal buck to walk buy. Missouri's herd was doing well before the rule change, which, by the way, is one reason they claim to have made the change. The population was growing too fast....Still is, cause guys still aren't shooting does....They're just waiting on that legal buck.

On top of that, it was only implemented in 19 counties, not the entire state. Does that make sense? They said it was a "testing period." How can you test and get accurate results in only 15% of the state?? And oh, by the way, the counties this was implemented in is already known to produce large bucks. AND....in 2 of the counties with the antler restrictions in place, you can only fill 1 anterless tag, and in half the state you can fill as many as you want. But I thought they said they wanted more does killed??? The whole thing doesn't make any sense, it's all contradicting.

Anyway.........
