RE: qdm=loss of hunting skills?
vtbuckrulrss -
one last point on the question you raised - " can a QDM plan be impemented in the Big Woods?" - Sure it can.
The cohesive element around QDM is that " all is relative" - and the real qdm concept - is a balanced deer herd -not food plots - Blah - Blah - Blah. It works in big woods, swamps, farm land, sand dunes, etc - but its all relative.
Food plots can " boost" the Carrying capicity - but only locally. At the very least - you want your property, or the property you hunt, to be even with the norm or better as far as carrying capacity goes -
Its not about hunting over food plots.
