First of all I think you are mistaking comments directed at the preachers for those directed at the message. QDM is not the problem.........it's all the guys trying to cram it down other hunters throats and force their own personal opinion on everyone else by trying to make others feel less about themselves if they aren't on board.

Secondly.......I would have Soooooooooo much more respect for those preaching if they would just be honest and say it is about shooting bigger racks and nothing more. Don't cry about herd health or increased challenge because neither are true. More mature bucks means it will be less challenging to find one.....Period. A truely intense challenge would be to kill a mature buck where there is only one or two in the entire area........not eight to ten. QDM is nothing more then growing deer and waiting to shoot them only to stroke our ego and say we accomplished some great task because of it's size........and rack size has nothing to do with it as we all know here.

Anyone with enough money can shoot HUGE bucks year after year in completely fair chase settings because that money gets them access to places with plenty of HUGE deer. Does that make them any better of a hunter or increase the satisfaction of the harvest?? Definately not. QDM gets you the same thing only it takes a lot longer.......and may not even be cheaper if you factor in food plot costs and year round care of the land.
