When actually you should only shoot them if they need removed from the herd due to the herd being out of size in relation to the caring capacity of the land. Most clubs also will not take the time to record data that would give them accurate fawn recruitment rates which is a major factor in determining harvest rates of does when needed. And they have unrealistic expectations on the size of bucks they will harvest in AL. If you can get all these factors in line yes QDM will work.


Very true.
