Quality Deer Management

More threads in the hunting forum than there are total posts in qdm section.

You guys getting lonesome down there??

If you don't care about QDM why even post other than to just be a nagging aggravator?

Gadflies gotta be gadflies.

a lot of the serious deer hunting threads ARE about QDM.....

Shhh ... don't tell him that. He'll lose his mind.

Does that tell us anything about the nature of those involved in qdm?

nope...

Your base belongs to us 49er!! We are taking over the woods one hunter at a time!!!

reminds me of a Van Halen song,

"been to the edge, there I stood and looked down, lost a lot of friends there, got no time to mess around"

both first names ARE Eddie....just sayin...

It just seems to me like qdm'ers like to impose on others a lot.

Lots of name dropping and suckin' up and such.

It's like they have some kind of a need to show others how much "knowlege" they have about things that don't really involve hunting at all, or they need to belittle hunters who don't share their interests. It's seems like some kind of elitist attitude I suppose, but then they turn around and suck up to anybody who can write a magazine article about qdm.

Weird. Just plain weird.

Never heard that one.

I looked up the lyrics. I don't get it... but then, I don't get you either. We don't think at all alike, but you always show up when I start a thread... kinda like Clem, Bucktrot and a few others (even with "ignore this user" turned on) who don't like what I have to say. But you always show up anyhow.

See? That's what the data shows us about you. And it fits what I've observed.

So what if we show up? If we're on "ignore" then you shouldn't care a lick.

Clem,

I don't even bother to "toggle this post". You're easier to pattern than a yearling buck.

You listen to that stuff troy?

I had you figured more for listening to Eddy Arnold, Eddie Raven, Eddie Rabbit... you know. Good stuff.

I made it a point to drop down to the QDM section to see if any hunters were down there interferring with their threads.

If you don't think qdm is deer farming, just take a look at the thread titles down there!!

No dog hunters interupting, no small game hunters... not even a serious deer hunter butting in down there.

They seem to be doing all their discussions about deer farming in peace down there. I just eased on out of there and left them alone.

Wish they could learn to do the same here.

I post both here and QDM forum, Mr. 49er, please tell me where I belong.

Depends on what you want to talk about. Don't you get that?

It's kind of self explanatory.

If you want to get serious about hunting deer, this is the right section.

If you want to talk about farming and managing, then the QDM section might be a better place for you. Here's the thread topics there lately:

Managing is serious.

Farming is your term and not wholly accurate.

I guess if Eddie was in charge (perish the thought!) we would only be relegated to one section - guess I would have to stick with the turkey forum. You know, serious deer hunters cannot plant anything or manage their deer herd

Unfortunately 49er, there is some truth to what you wrote. Years ago, I spent all my time trying to educate deer hunters about how deer herds and herd dynamics work, and how hunter harvest practices alter these processes, for good or ill. In essence, I spent all my time trying to convince interested hunters that QDM really would work.

Now, just the opposite is true. I spend the VAST majority of my time try to talk-down overzealous QDM enthusiasts--to interject some reality into their pie-in-the-sky predictions and proclimations, and to counter-act their inaccurate statements and beliefs.

And worst of all has been the rapid growth of "trophyism" in the ranks. Although, to be honest, trophyists have moved far beyond true QDM, but happily use the term to hide behind like a protective cloak. The elitism and anger that spews from some of these trophyists simply floors me.

Although my QDM-advocacy of the past certainly made me some strong enemies in the world of deer management, those older enemies can't hold a candle to the viciousness my new trophyist enemies display! Thankfully, age and experience have thickened my skin to the point of near armor.
