[QUOTE="retrieverman, post: 2930501, member: 24452"] My family has practiced "QDM" for over 20 years, and "neighbors" can make or break any QDM program. I've quit hunting a place in TX after over 20 years just due to the neighbor's lack of self control (they shoot every buck that meets antler restriction and WON'T shoot does). Unfortunately, I'm seeing my OK place heading down the same path, and it sickens me. I'm probably in a different place than most folks on here in that I now own land, pay taxes, and manage my place solely to kill "trophy" bucks. Does are killed as part of the management process, but I absolutely don't do it for the meat. I can buy at least a couple whole cows a year for what I spend coming up there to hunt. That being said I love it and hope I can keep doing it the rest of my life, but if it gets to the point where the only bucks are young dinks, I'm out. I can literally walk out my back door if I just want to shoot a deer. In the post quoted above, it was said that no one would envy OK regs if there was forced QDM, but to me, the better question is why would you "locals" want your states regs to be envied and encourage out of state a-holes like me buying up or leasing land and killing your big bucks?:hey3: [/QUOTE]
