QDM is nothing but a money making line of BS spoon fed to all you YOUNG BUCKS! The states that push thes QDM's are in it to promote their states as the best deer hunting state ( they will make more money on license sales ). Shoot the big ones and shoot the little ones. it all deer hunting. PS All of these so called HUNTING shows on tv are also craming this QDM $#it down your throats. And alot of you dont seem to care what they feed you. This is only my opinion! Dont get offended.

That is not true..........I, and many other people here I am sure know people with access to primo land and kill big hoss year after year. I know a guy that hunts about 2-3 days a year and has so many monsters in his house that he is running out of rooms. I am sure your desrciption is true some of the times but let's not pretend it is true all the time......many other factors can be in place.

If it is the challenge that everyone is addicted to then why do they want to push for QDM which will make it easier to see and kill bigger bucks??


So you would not shoot a 180" class buck if it was the first deer that walks by you because it wouldn't be a challenge right?? If not please explain why it is different.


Consider yourself fortunate to hunt in places that are so easy for you to tag out in and realize that not everyone has that luxury.


What a shame........I hope I never utter those words.


Pretty shocking that the world is not the same as your little spots huh??

So like I said...........you are still trying to finish off a single deer from a year ago


Classic.

Wish I could say I am surprised.........but I would be lying. Couldn't be a better example of why their "message" falls so flat. As soon as you disagree with them the insults start to fly.........then they act shocked when people laugh at their noble smokescreens......they are so thin that it takes minimal effort to reveal the BS that lies behind (pun INTENDED)

I'm not much of a venison guy, I might keep half a deer each season even though I kill several deer each year. I like to hunt MATURE trophy bucks. I do my best to make sure that their are many deer of this caliber on my land. I come from a part of the county where managing deer is taken extremely serious and no amount of money or time is spared to accomplish ones goals. Most of you guys would not "fit" down here just like I'm sure I wouldnt mess to well with you and/or your hunting buddies. It all has to do with the area we hunt and the land and average caliber of animals that we see on a regular basis. I would be bored to death if I had to hunt where some of you guys hunt.......

Bored wouldnt be the word, I would be either done hunting completely or putting alot less time/money/effort into it. Some of these guys just need to be taken to the midwest here and they would get an entire different perception. Its all about location folks, some of you dont relize the "hunting" your missing.

ATLASMAN and CALLEMIN: i am glad to see that atleast us three are on the same page. i am in total agreement with both of you. In my previous posts i keep tellin these guys that hunting land is pretty scarse for some of us so we have to take advantage of certain situations. People need to understand that, believe it or not, not everyone has the oppurtunity to let deer pass by because they arent big. We dont all have that luxury. It seems that every season i see maybe a total of ten deer. Sorry but that is not enough for me to just keep letting them pass by. I am a hunter and i like to hunt deer. Therefore i kill deer and eat them thats it. I dont hang them on the wall but i do take pride in every deer that i kill wether it be a doe, button, 4 pointer, or even a monster. I take pride in all of them and am proud of myself for for doing what i do.

Seeing these types of threads in this forum is getting old. I would rather read a story from a hunter about his hunt whether it be successful or unsuccessful than to read a ten page debate. Let's just get to whatever kind of hunting we do and enjoy ourselves.

haha some people crack me up...yea its just so easy to shoot deer in the midwest isnt it? give me a break! its not that easy, really its not, not for me anyways. i have hunted in central illinois for years now and last year was the first time i ever saw a "monster" in shooting range but it wasnt a clear shot. I never seen him again the rest of the season. There arent big deer everywhere in the midwest. yes in some areas but not everywhere like everyone seems to think there is. I will guarantee anyone that hunting in the midwest is not as easy as everyone seems to think it is.
