I have been practicing QDM actively for more than 10 years. It has not worked. This year I have 1 nice buck in the area, if he has survived the gun season, and have only seen one other 2 1/2 year old 8 point the entire bow and gun season. I do have a bazillion does that none of the surrounding hunters are willing to shoot but me. I won't give up the QDM principals though in hopes that one really nice buck will make it some year before I die.
