[QUOTE="bowhunt25, post: 4705817, member: 14248"] I'll piggy back off M. Belt. Ames really is a great place to hunt and a hunter can just get lost and submersed in the woods and truly be isolated. True enough it has rules for ATV's but for good reason. How many hunters here want other hunters to just come and go anywhere on their property while he/she may be in the stand ? I will probably remain there unless its dissolved. However, the biggest opportunity AMES faces, is changing what their idea of QDM is. Unfortunately we allow mature under scoring bucks to be left each year to do all the breeding when those bucks should be targeted without tax. Additionally too many does are and have been harvested over the past 6 years to the tune of north of 1000. QDM doesn't target taking does the way AMES does and by the way of this practice promotes mature bucks to roam further to neighboring properties looking the first does to come in leaving the immature and cull bucks to do the breeding. Its still a great place to hunt even with my negative outlook. [/QUOTE]
