Unfortunately, I don't recall any article where QDMA recommended managing the herd at 50% 0f the Max. Carrying capacity. And, just to make my position perfectly clear, I don't really care what DD any QDM lease choses to manage their herd. The problem is when QDMA tries to get a statewide plan to implement their standards.

As yet , I have not seen a sinlge QDMA article that reference the DD to the carrying capacity of the habitat. What I have seen is that the articles avoid DD estimates like the plague. AS you know, I am a supporter of much higher DDs than what the PGC will allow, and I would really like to see any info from QDMA that supports higher DDs.
