Well, mr. sedlmayr my family practices QDM (quality deer meat) where our motto is brown its down…i do not agree with qdm at all.. all you need to do is have your land set up to have the big boys there, food, water, good nutrition, and COVER this is what causes them to get big not qdm we shoot little bucks year after year for meat but we do always have a big boy to put on the wall , we totally diminish the herd year after year in the nine day, but we still manage to have booners on our land consecutively year after year… you just need to learn how to hunt them properly…… maybe them big boys aren’t moving during the day, aka the dredded nocturnal buck..now if you do an old fashioned thing called a deer drive and push them big boys out of that thick cover, by checking every brush pile, ditch, or anywhere else you would think they would lay you might yet get to harvest ur big boy of ur dreams…remember they can hide where u will walk by them about ten yards and never know they were there ..ur a little young but if u listen to ur parents, relatives, or wise elders of the nelson village you will hear storys of how people used to all have the brown its down motto and pushed right away from the opener and saw lots of deer and more shooters then than if u sit all day more big bucks shot back then…than there ever will be… now those hunting techniques will present oppurtunities at ur booners, but if u don’t believe me you can come take a gander at my growing wall of fame
JUSTAROOKIE,
I assume you hunt in WI, I am not up on what the laws are for taking does & bucks in WI, do you need a permit in WI to take a doe? As you may know the seasons were changed here in MN this year, there is a buck and a doe season, for the doe season you no longer need a permit to take a doe, anyone can shoot a doe or a buck. So in MN it is very easy to shoot a doe, is it the same way in WI? The Reason I ask is if this is the case why wouldn’t you take a doe instead of a young buck? Wouldn’t that leave even more bucks for next year? And if the main goal is to hunt for meat instead of horns a doe tastes better anyway. Don’t take this the wrong way I know that everyone does not believe in QDM and I also agree that QDM should be run by private parties or land owners not the DNR or the government. I am just trying to understand the other side of this debate epically the motto “if it’s brown its down”
