After 30 years, I think myself and the landowner are pretty good judges of what needs to happen on his land. We even get some pretty good pointers from some prominent biologists.



Good points about how QDM has been around so long.


Most hunters have been doing QDM now for many many years.

And the 3 buck limit has been very beneficial.

So there is really no *scientific* need for game check.

It is just more government interference and control thanks to power hungry control freak government BUREAUCRATS.
