I hunt public land here in Maine. The management of our deer herd in this state is dealt with by our DIF&W. They determine the appropriate number of any-deer permits that are needed to keep the numbers near right.
I am a meat hunter who can also respect a nice rack. However I will shoot whatever I am allowed by our state wildlife managers to shoot. They are the professionals who have evaluated the herd and the numbers of what sexes need to be reduced to effectively keep the herd healthy and strong. They tell me what they will allow me to shoot. Within that limitation the only restriction I place on myself is to look for the largest deer I can find.
I consider myself as a participant in this hunting plan to be a supporter of QDM. If your state is in a different situation with it's herd then maybe you need different restrictions than we have in Maine. As we don't seem to have all the bickering that yopu folks in PA do I guess that's probably the case, but I don't want anyone to go spreading the "if you don't hunt this way you are a slob hunter" manure all over this forum.
Happy hunting.
