"If your dream is to have better deer hunting on your property, then QDM is the answer."Quality deer management began in the Texas brush country, but it has quickly spread across the nation to become one of the hottest topics in the whitetail world.Outdoor writer and photographer Charles Alsheimer embraced the QDM concept in the 1980ss. Since then, he"s experimented with his property and made it a whitetail paradise. Join Alsheimer for a class in QDM basics. You"ll learn about foot plots, hunting strategies, buck age structure, nutritional requirements and proper adult-doe-to-antlered-buck ratios.More than 150 of Alsheimer"s photographs illustrate his QDM experience. Look at the impressive deer Alsheimer killed on his farm, travel with him to commercial QDM outfitters, and learn more about the behavior of white-tailed deer through the seasons.Alsheimer is the first to admit there are no quick fixes for implementing a long-term QDM program. In other words, it"s more than dropping a handful of clover seeds in a food plot. But if you"re ready for the challenge, or just want to learn more about this popular management program, this book is for you.
