I believe the original discussion in that link was whether or not TL was morphing into a QDM operation, or was simply a herd reduction program designed to reduce the deer as quickly as possible. Some folks seeem under the impression that some kind of QDM operation is in the works or at work, but doesn't seem to be the picture we are getting from you. Thanks for the local insight on the subject. Ironic that the thread excerpt was from the qdma forums. I was surprised to see that crowd, of all people still hanging on to the belief of such crazy sex ratios. I believe Gary Alt once made a similar statement, which made him look all the more foolish when the herd data proved it was never close to that outta whack in PA!

Interestingly,he doesn't even have the acreage correct.TL is almost 9500 acres and we can hunt about 2200 of those acres.

In my experience and opinion based on obsevations,TL has a pretty darn good b/d ratio.Observations don't mean squat however.I actually get just as many if not more bucks on trail cams than adult doe.A b/d ratio of 1/30 is beyond laughable.
