Maybe it's just the fact that many feel that they need to hurry and kill the first yearling buck they see, that way they can hurry back to the local tavern and brag to everyone that they got their "buck"! SAD state of affairs if you ask me!
This isn't debate and this is one of the problems I have with the whole QDM thing. Why do you get to decide what others consider a quality deer hunt? You make a lot of generalizations in that paragraph all the while putting other hunters down because their thoughts don't line up with yours. There is nothing in that paragraph that would indicate that QDM leads to bigger deer and a healthier herd.
That whole paragraph is a sad state of affairs and makes you appear as one with a superiority complex. So what is the debate? QDM is good for the herd in general? QDM grows bigger bucks? Those that don't practice QDM are unethical, uneducated and less of a hunter? All of the above?
