I give QDM credit for what it can accomplish on private leases and clubs, where the members all have the same goals and they can control all aspects of the plan. In PA we have 1M hunters with widely divergent goals and objectives . Just look at last years anterless harvest when we harvested 68,1K BB ,but only 58.7K female fawns. AR has no chance of succeeding when we harvest such a high percentage of our males before they even have a chance to be saved by AR.
Furthermore, the state has no plans to improve the habitat ,since they are more concerned about the revenue from saw timber. No matter how many doe we kill ,pole timber will only support 5 DPSM , for the 40-60 years it remains in the pole timber stage.
