And I'm so willing to bet that as a QDM practicioner, you are managing all your properties at or below 6 dpsm, which is the goal established for WMU's 5A and 5B just a few years ago. Right. QDM are the biggest bunch of hypocrites I've ever met...support the PGC deer plan 100%, though almost none of them even hunt public land....expect all of us that do to "make do" with way less deer, even though you could never imagine sitting in the food plot box blind and not watchng forty deer at a time, let alone the need to stuff your bucks full of supplements to "maximize" their antler potential...anything to fill up the wall faster and make it easier to bag big bucks with regularity. I'm convinced (after meeting and knowing many QDM members personally) that it all boils down to antler greed...though they try to candy coat it and make it sould like they are some kind of conservation heroes,(seem to love patting their own backs) it's still all about antlers. Period.
So go ahead and tell us all about how the deer herd is going to be permitted to rebound when the hobblebush flourishes, and all the state's big $ hardwoods aren't nibbled anymore. Like they would allow it, when DD of less than 25 dpsm have been shown to have "unacceptable" levels of browse damage. Talk all about forest health, when it isn't even a mute consideration on your QDM lands.
