WIQDMA...I never said anything about educating for deer biology and never said there is'nt an age structure in wht.tail herds...what I said or reffered to is the "education" of killing bucks of an age that you deem appropriate...and it's that type of general presumption of high mindedness that turns ppl off from QDM....The ppl in this forum know that I plan ...plant and work my lands to improve the wild life...they also know I shoot what I deem good for our area...but I don't hunt horns... sorry and if I feel I'd like to take a smaller buck to fill a tag and my freezer...well thats what I'll do and ppl who tout the almighty 150+ "class" deer. can just shake their heads until their necks collapse.....By the way that does'nt make me any less a hunter than you...and my dear I'm up at 4am and in my woods by 5am from the middle of Oct-the end of Dec...and thats everyday I'm healthy and when I'm not ...it's afternoon hunts...and who cares...hunting for me is a way of life not a contest...TV show...tax right off...bragging right ...endorsement getter...ect
So here's an idea...perhaps to further the QDM idea...try to keep the rack ruckus to a bare minimum...tour and the BB.. you may see it's turning ppl off from that group...when they actually do good work...upto that point...
