Yes, I like big antlers, but it seems that way too many guys think that is all that QDM is about! QDM is about balanceing the buck to doe ratio, establishing a good age bracket, creating good habitat and forage for deer, ect....

Some people take pride in GIVING BACK! I feel that it is my obligation to give back to the deer herd considering I take from that same deer herd each and every year! I take pride in the fact that I help the deer herd wether by planting food plots, creating a good habitat, or doing my part to balance the numbers. Sure, larger racks come from this, but they are just an added bonus! I get the real joy from seeing healthier deer and a better habitat which also helps all other animals in the woods!

I love hearing the comments about people planting food plots. "Its un-natural" "Nothing like shooting pet deer off of a the golf course" blah blah blah.... Funny thing is that people watch these hunting shows and fall into a trap thinking that the food plots on t.v. are what happens when someone plants a food plot on their property! Sorry to burst your bubble, but a food plot won't bring in hundreds of deer during mid-day! It is just another "crop" field that the deer typically visit late in the evening or after dark. It doesn't pop 150" racks onto those bucks, it does help them get the nutrition that they need to LIVE! It makes it easier on the deer during the winter, ect.

I am not going to shove QDM down everybody's throats, but I will try to educate as many people as I can about what QDM is really about!
