Dang Yodel, I bet you'd argue with your doctor on whether your blood pressure is high or not. Are YOU willing to age deer every weekend instead of hunting? Maybe there's a couple of hundred hunters just like you that will donate their time off to fondle jawbones so we can all get an accurate view of the deer herd in Tennessee. Sounds like a plan.

I'm not saying how far off your numbers are, all I'm saying is they are not accurate unless you age every buck harvested, which we both know is not possible.
there is no need to age every deer. I am willing to bet that the harvest age would change more than a couple or percentage points if every deer was aged.

I can't believe you run a responsible wildlife agency without data and charts. It's called science. Mississippi doesn't even check deer so everyone is on the good ole boy honor system. how do they compose data? Do they call you on the cellphone? I have hunted in multiple states including colorado and I will put twra up their with the best of them. I applaude all efforts made to keep a healthy herd.

I couldn't agree more!
I wish these guys that spend all their time complaing spent half that time asking theirselves what can I do to help out? Pointing fingers is taking the easy way out.

The only QDM "failures" I've seen came from hunters setting their sights to high. They simply weren't prepared for the effort required to kill only mature bucks.
[list]
I have seen the worst outcome of QDM failures. Those were folks who went off half cocked and slaughtered does for numerous seasons with no idea of herd size, leaving their herds in near extinction mode with zero recruitment, and the inevitable outcome of a 5 year recovery to return decent age classes.

It only makes sense. Unless you have a handle on deer density in your section of the county your in, it seems like a difficult project. you have to take in account many factors.
