Bowhntr I have to agree. Both sides of the argument do make sense but I also think that if you are able to successfuly implement QDM then your land must in turn be of larger size and therefor hold a large majority of the deer without them wandering too far. This is not to say that a few won't stray but the percentage would probably be low. I think in general good wildlife management would increase the value of your land. Around here the only people interested in buying such large parcels of wooded land are hunters. Most others are happy with just a few acres of woods seeing as how they have no use for that much land. Of course once again there are a couple people with alot of money who don't know what to spend it on but I still think the scales are tipped towards increased land value, be it ever so slightly.
