I hear everyone talking about QDM but I don't see the prrof. I hear everyone talk about letting 1 1/2 year old bucks grow a year or two before harvesting them. This ISN'T Quality Deer Management. I see pics of people who are strictly QDM but they are with spikes and forkhorns. How many people who support QDM have winter food plots for their deer? I am not talking about your corn field on your farm, I am talking about real food plots like Mossy Oak's BioLogic seed. Who puts out salt blocks every spring? Who cuts down trees/burns woods/remodels their property to help out deer? Who here waits for the deer to grow to 7 1/2 or 8 1/2 years old before harvesting? That is what QDM is. It is letting bucks grow to 7 1/2 or 8 1/2 that score ATLEAST 170". I just hear everyone talking about QDM but it ISN'T QDM, it is trying to help the deer out, but it isn't QDM. I know that I don't practice QDM, I may put out salt licks, this spring I am planting a huge food plot, but I don't wait for 170" class bucks, I will shoot anything over 130". I know that it isn't QDM, but it doesn't matter. I know that TRUE QDM will never work in Pennsylvania. A buck that is 4 1/2 years old will probablly not make it to 5 1/2 because he will either be shot, hit by a car, or die in some other way. I was just wondering who really practices it? If you don't believe me about what QDM is, watch BUCK FEVER, it is all about true QDM and they shoot bucks ranging for a 160" 4 1/2 year old deer because it was injured to a 206" 8 1/2 year old buck.

Good Luck This Season: Buck Magnet
