is QDMa not part of some serious deer hunting discussion?
Only when you use it to try to destroy hunting.
Q= quality???
D= deer
M= management
Qdm is habitat and wildlife management "for the health of the herd".
Hunting is the right to pursue and kill wildlife for food and recreation.
should there be any rules then?
The people expressly prohibited the executive branch from assuming legislative powers of government in our state's Constitution. I firmly support our Constitutions.
Every office holder in this state is required to support our Constitutions. Many of those officers don't honor their oaths of office. Some of them adopt the common law of England and ignore our Constitutions.
There should be no rules of the executive branch that have the effect of law according to the provisions of our state's Constitution.
