RE: DO YOU PERFORM QDM?
What does QDM stand for? I assume it is an acronym. Shooting does works wonders, we have trouble seeing big bucks here in MO. Mostly because people generally shoot at the first thing that wonders by. thankfully now there is the new 4 point rule. the deer has to have a good set of antlers or u cant shoot it. Most abide by this but the poachers will be poachers (dam them all to hell).
We shoot does off our property and our friends property. we only harvested management bucks untill we realized that some deer "bad genetics" were really just being careless with they head gear. they bang it into stuff when it is soft and plyable and so it looks like inferior genetics. we stoped doing that part.
