RE: QDMA What don't you like
I think trophy hunting is our Achilles Heel when it comes to fighting off attacks from the anti's Just like fences and everything else we bicker about.;) |
RE: QDMA What don't you like
Well, arthur....again....you can't make blanket statements. If "I" don't manage the herd I hunt.....they'll be left un-checked. if I don't do it....nobody with a gun CAN. I'd think I'm not alone. If I gun hunted.....I couldn't hunt ANY of the places I do, now. |
RE: QDMA What don't you like
ORIGINAL: quiksilver What we're losing sight of here is that Bawanajim hates everything, probably even his own mother. If the deer program was geared toward growing more shrubbery and habitat, he'd complain because there were too many shrubberies, and that the deer were gorging themselves to death. If the program grew deer with 300" racks, he'd cry because they were unhealthy, and whine about how a big rack does not necessarily equal a healthy deer. If the program brought the buck/doe ratio to 1:1, he'd cry because the doe holocaust was decimating the deer populations into extinction. Have a Kleenex Jim. 
Now that is funny! And remember jim, put your helmet on before you get on the bus.... |

ORIGINAL: GMMAT But you did say..... Land is the key and anyone that fails to see this probably spent much of their youth riding the short bus.[:o] If you preserve land thru ownership you will be better protecting thathabitat than landscapers do. |
RE: QDMA What don't you like
I'm selling my land to a develper. I'm going to use the money to fund some QDM research...
Man I feel great! |

You need a hug, LOL  This about dislikes of QDMA or QDM guys not each other;) Lets try and stay focused. |
RE: QDMA What don't you like
A bunch of post back you were saying the areas you hunt are bow only and I would guess this is because of houses. THE issueI face with the deer overpopulation is.....not enough people killing them. My biologist told me to take 18 does out of the herd this year. THIS year. |

You will get to spend far more time in a tree than I will because I will have one buck tag and one doe tag.I will use mine wisely and I hope you will too. How long till the 500 acers is developed? |
RE: QDMA What don't you like
My biologist told me to take 18 does out of the herd this year. THIS year. Okay. The way I read this is, you don't own the land. Yet you get a biologist to come out and assess the deer herd? I'm sure that wasn't a free service. You're spending your time, effort and money to build up the deer herd, but for whom? THE LANDOWNER. What happens when you get everything set up right and start seeing some good, mature deer with decent racks? SOMEBODY is going to notice. That somebody is going to tell somebody else and so on until word gets to someone with deep pockets. He'll come along and pay the landowner a goodly sum of cash that YOU won't be able to match. Someone is going to be hunting the deer you cultivated and YOU are going to be out in the cold with no place to hunt. I've seen it in Texas, over and over and over again. I've seen it enough to know for a fact that practicing QDM on land you don't own is a fool's errand. |
