[QUOTE="BSK, post: 3635510, member: 17"] However, when considering the above listed study, remember one important thing: what the study was designed to find. This study was specifically designed to decipher if QDM works (buck survival by age-class) on VERY LARGE properties practicing QDM. The [i]average[/i] size of the study properties was over 12,000 acres. Now the question is, how applicable is this data to the average hunter hunting/managing a property from 50 to 300 acres? Or even for the rare hunter hunting/managing a couple thousand acres? One thing I found very interesting was the high hunting mortality OFF THE STUDY PROPERTIES of all age bucks mentioned (greater then 50% for the age-classes mentioned). Considering the average property was greater than 12,000 acres, that's pretty amazing, and one of the reasons I usually tell hunters that I believe a property has to be 10,000 acres before they control the travels of even 50% of the bucks they get on camera.
