im on the fence on this subject. i think qdm is great and i believe in it, but i dont think it is for everyone. some people shoot small deer just to kill something, thats ok its their decision on their property.

the only thing i call BS on, is how all the qdm preachers are so "condesending" but all the nay sayers who preach trophy hunters are ruining hunting arent condesending?because someone trys to convince you to shoot bigger deer, they are blamed for ruining hunting.....

so i say shoot what you want, but please, PLEASE, dont whine about how mature bucks are so plentiful in some areas but not yours. ITS BECAUSE THEY WERE PASSED UP AS YOUNG IMMATURE DEER. the hunter who saw all these easilly killed monster midwest deer as 1.5 year olds, didnt squeeze the trigger and justify his shooting with, "well.....people around me......ummm.....if i didnt shoot him, someone else surely would have" guess we'll never know.
