Turnabuck, I know what you are saying!!!! I love QDM but not mandetory QDM. and let me explain. We would not need it if we could make a few huge changes, and tisis where it would get sticky because of our hunting heritage here in Michigan. If we could ban baiting 100% that means everyone not just the ones that follow laws, and now the biggy get rid of our 15 day gun season right smack dab in the middle of our rut and make it like 3 or 4 three day seasons spread out like 3 days around Nov18or 20th and then 3 days aroundDec 1st or 3rd and then a late season hunt But it will never happen. Michigan has everything it needs to support and grow huge bucks and I believe the QDM would happen by it's self when you really know you have a chance every time you walk in the woods to kill a biggen.. But we will all just fantisize over this because none of it will ever happen as long as the insurance companies are running our DNR.. Walt
