I have seen more deer this year on our land than I have since the 90's. We don't take too many does and sure don't practice QDM.
It could be said that our quality isn't as good as it could be with QDM managed land. I would rather watch deer when I go and have the ability to shoot what I please than have all my does shot up, not see very many deer, all in the belief that it produced better quality.
But I do understand every place is different and needs a different approach as far as sustainable harvest.......I just wish the DCNR would figure that out.
