RE: Problem Hunter in Quality Deer Managment
Trophy Deer Managment is strictly to grow bigger antlers.
Quality Deer Managment puts a heavy emphasis on shooting does and letting the younger bucks walk. The emphasis is actually on the age structure of the deer population rather than the size of the horns.
As far as indiscriminately shooting the first deer to walk by I don't think that isQDM but it would actually be a step in the right direction from traditional deer hunting. I was trying to emphasis that "Mother Nature" did a much better job of deer managment than traditional deer hunting has, and that it is amazing how the self described "meat hunters" seem to have the uncanny ability to shoot a young buck year after year after year instead of shooting any does.
