Again I have to say, if you want meat shoot does. One of the biggest factors of QDM is management of the doe numbers. For some reason some hunters have an aversion to shooting the does. They taste better and removing them actually improves the herd. I believe in the antler restrictions because I have seen the results firsthand. I own one of those small places that Tomme refers to and I have to agree with his statements. This year my freezers are full already with the 3 does I have taken. I will continue to hunt and harvest does thru the rest of the season and donate the meat. If I happen across a mature buck then I'll try to take him but my emphasis is on management of a healthy herd.
