I guess my problem is I have trouble telling a 2.5 YO from a 3.5 YO.
It also seems that there is not much difference in shooting a BB or a2.5 YO if you are practicing QDM. That 2.5 YO sure has a better chance of reaching 4.5 than the BB.

Are AR's enough of a QDM tool and are the restrictions sufficient to let more deer mature oris every 3X3 doomed. I like a nice little 4X4 but don't see alot of them. I figure they are like girls.. Everyone you pass up is gone forever.LOL. Stay away from the spike,forks, and 6pts and enoughof them should slip thru to maturity

There is something special about drawing and anchoring on a deer you have no intentions about shooting. It's like counting coup!!
