Blessed,
you just have to keep preaching and practicing QDM
and that is all you can do. You cannot force it on
people and we certainly don't want more government
involvement than there already is. Trying to get bucks
into the older age brackets begins with what we do ourselves
on the territory that we have control over, and of course
the same goes for habitat management. Even then, as I said
upstream, you are never going to see the same percentage
of 4.5 or 5.5 year old bucks in Alabama get to (much less
exceed) the 150 mark as in the Midwest. That is just the
way it is - unless there was a massive agricultural revolution.
