RE: Passin the Buck
I would love to see a study of how much land you need to actually see an improvement. I know the QDM guys will say it doesn't matter. But I know better. I practice QDM, but I rarely have 4 1/2 year old bucks running by me. I've hunted QDM areas for the past 15 years and while I have let 100's of 2 1/2 year old deer walk, I still rarely see the old age class bucks. I will usually get 1-2 opportunities a year at a 3 1/2 or older buck.
