Personally I don't pass up deer as nobody around me does either. Unless you have a very large tract of land with ample natural sources and/or food plots, why would you pass him up? If I pass up a deer, I will never see him again. All of this QDMA stuff, IMHO, is crap unless you have a large plot of land you can manage. For the vast majority of us, we have to take what we get.
