I believe that the mangament practices are making bigger bucks more common. With all the magazines, videos, and tv shows promoting qdm I would say that is a major role in the number of big deer in the midwest, not just the food sources they have. I know people that don't necassarily practice qdm but they will no pass up smaller bucks that they would not of in the past. I'm sure if qdm continues there will be a few 300 inchers taken but I doubt it will ever become common, I doubt 200 will ever become common.
