Why should the state worry about QDM?? The states responsibility is to set hunting seasons to control deer populations. The number of points a buck wears on it's head when he gets shot means NOTHING to overall population control. A deer taken out of the population is just the same whether it's a ten pointer or a spike. The only people offended here are trophy hunters. I really don't see the state feeling the need to make drastic changes simply to make them happy.
