RE: qdm=loss of hunting skills?
lunchbucket; I back you 100%, you did go to the moon. LOL I agree with you on the other comments too. My view is that sustenance hunters of the past learned a great deal about the skills of hunting deer. The generation just past, who lived in the towns and cities started to treat deer hunting as a week getaway in November. QDM and bowhunting have gotten people back into the bush for most of the year. The more time they stay involved the more ownership (stewardship) they show for wildlife and the environment. The more time that you spenddoing something the more you learn and the better you get at it. QDM has to improve hunting skills in that regard. The difference is that sustanence hunters had to kill to survive so they' re knowlege and skill sets were different from the skills of today.
