It really does make a difference as to where you are.Here in Maine we have nice big deer but the chances of seeing one is far leaner than in most of the places you fellas talk about.Passing on a muture eight pointer usually means no meat in the freezer for this year.We get one tag,which has to be a buck,and have to apply for a doe tag and it is either/or, not both if you are successful in getting a doe tag.We shoot way to many young bucks because of this and simply because QDM in Maine is not something many think about.Ron
