In the interest of having the proper info going in, one should know that qdma is opposed to an individuals right to breed deer and an individuals right to high fence a property smaller than 640 acres.

Google for verification.

True. But, they do support ethical, moral, and science-based management philosophies and strategies that promote not only a true land ethic, but also the conservation ethic, the hunting heritage, and the principles of the North American Wildlife Conservation model rather than exploitation and privitization.

ahhhh...fun....



so is a good portion of this forum.

Not up to par with this QDMA you speak of, but I'm liking them already

They don't try to hide it. It's a big part of the reason they exist.

Key Points

"to an individuals right"
"an individuals right to high fence a property"

Ah yes, individual rights are diametrically opposed to morals and ethics. Got it. "Feelin the Bern" eh?!

Yeah I know. Wish we coulda put a fence up on our New Mexico, Oklahoma and Louisiana borders the past couple of decades to keep the nanny state immigrants at bay.

They are californicating Texas.

Just keep that qdma crap up there in yankeeland and we'll be good.

Guess i missed something. Private land is private land, bought by someone not the public. Breeding an animal can not be harmfully if not harming the breed. many animals escape high fences, makes better hunting in area.

And it's exactly why I cancelled my membership.

Let's divide hunters, cause division in the ranks, thrash rights and feed anti's

Instead of being a pompous, revenue driven wolf in sheeps clothing how about they focus on the one message hunters will always win with:

100% organic, environmentally friendly and sustainable food source, that we as true conservationist have conserved through our own actions, and management.

I like deer meat too Bobo.
And I agree hunters are the greatest group of conservationists that have ever lived.

I'll stop there so your return to the forum is a pleasant one.

P.S. We almost lost therancher to a heinous accident with some sort of human transport device, but he's OK and has provided a couple of cool sig line videos.

This. I don't much care for breeding or high fences, but it is absolutely none of my business what others do on their land.

Funny thing:

I've never met a deer breeder or high fenced ranch owner/hunter who has decided that everybody must share his/her preference/methods.

I note that there is a VERY large % of anti breeding HF hunters/ranchers who want to tell everyone else what they can and can't do.

Thank you sir (and others here) for falling in that % that supports individual rights.

I'm here for your (and others') entertainment.

Btw, did YOU ban BOBO??

Are you kidding? I couldn't ban Hitler if he came on here. Just a powerless minion who serves at the pleasure.

I'll check them out, I have a feeling it ain't pretty.

Lol, he wouldn't ban me if he could. He loves our deep long and thoughtful discussions.

No been traveling a bunch for work and pleasure. Just got back from coast and trying to postpone a panhandle trip.

It's great. He's been a good sport about it. The little "head jerk" he does trying to dismount that thing is the stuff YouTube fame is made of.

Lol that is true. I might put you on "shock probation" every now and again though.

Pursuit of perfection is too often the enemy of the good.

QDMA is doing more to promote thoughtful management of deer for small landowners than any other group right now, at least that I know of. If you don't like 100% of their positions, point out the group you think is doing a better job and with which you are 100% in agreement.

Between Texas Trophy Hunters and QDMA, which do you think will do more to advance deer for a small landowner and the "average" hunter?

If it's my land I will do exactly whatever the hell I want to on it

^^what he said

Hope you have a Nogalus on retainer with that thinking.

^^^^^^^^^^what they said
