An article in D&DH was titled this. To sum it up it stated that unless you have 1,000 or more acres you have absolutely no hope of holding 4.5 or older deer on your property and that their search for breeding rights will lead them to another hunter somewhere... hence the title. It was a good read, although somewhat depressing. It also stated that if you are in to QDM and habitat management, then your goal had better be fun because it will not be world class bucks. Thoughts???

Hunsuckers "ribcage buck" is a prime example. Killed over 2 miles from where he watched him all summer.
