One key thing alot of people are over looking it the number of hunters we will have and the land itself...
-We will have 1 active hunter for every 100 acres of land give or take
-Our land is in one continuous tract, not broken into smaller tracts here and there, which is a huge advantage for QDM when you have that much land under QDM
-The neighboring 5000 acres is still hunt only and QDM managed for awhile, also there is another 700 or so acres on the other side of the tract that is also under QDM, putting in the neighborhood of 10,000 continuous acres in QDM mgmt.
-Our dues include more than a place to hunt, you get fishing, camping, trapping, sight in ranges - club house in the next year or so.
Like I have said I am not twisting anyone's arm, different strokes for different folks.
Another little tid bit of info, here is the link to the state harvest information, if you search Nelson and compare it to some counties that have been mentioned, and you go back 10 years. You will find Nelson has a higher overall harvest rate for the most part and in one instance it is lower overall but the number of bucks killed is higher. So the area the tract is in produces great numbers and you only have to go to the Western Sportsmans Show to see the Size of deer that come from the county.
I wish everyone the best of luck in their seasons this and in the coming years. Hopefully many great memories will be made by all no matter where you hang your stand!!!!!!!!!!!
