Assuming you being from Sconny...you have plenty of deer in pure #'s. IMO....#1...try and get the doe to buck ratio close to or around 2 maybe 3 to 1. That will allow the deer that use your land and the adjoining the opportunity to stay there more and longer because of food. less deer=more food. #2...set your standards to what bucks your want to shoot and don't want to shoot. Our restrictions are....nothing less than a "good" 8 and outside the ears. Probably a 2 1/2. By allowing bucks to get bigger....the more mature bucks will do the majority of the breed because there are less doe to manage. #3...Take out any inferior bucks that might have an opportunity to breed. Don't really want or need those bucks passing on their genes. We have done this to our property and property around and it doesn't take long at all. I guarantee that in no more than 3 years, the amount of bucks and the quality of bucks you will be seeing will increase dramatically!! A word of advise though....watch the herd while your doing this. Over those 3-4 years, we have taken out so many doe that we now probably have a 2-3 doe to buck ratio, but our age structure is a little messed up. There aren't enough mature doe out there. The doe that are the strongest and will give you the best offspring. This year we only shot doe fawns. We needed to let the mature doe go, so the age structure evens out a bit. QDM is much more than growing "big bucks". It's keeping the herd in check in respects to health as well. Everything that I've said is what I think QDM is. I might be wrong about some things. Good luck. You will really like the rewards if you can restrain from shooting the little ones.
