IL-Cornfed, We have 1500 acres in our QDM program. We roll our own food plot & mineral mixes. We won't take any buck that is less than P&Y 125 class. After 4 years of hard work, we are starting to see the rewards of our labor. Our county had never produced a B&C class buck until 2003. And it was killed close to the county line. I may never kill a B&C class buck but I am going to do everyting I can to get them to that point.
We micro-manage our property and work with the neighboring properties to increase the area of QDM. This allows us to put another 1000+ acres into QDM. If we want meat, we will shoot a doe.
