Reading this book was the best possible thing I could have done for myself and the sport of deer hunting. It teaches you the basics of QDM and explains why you should do it. This book addresses old myths like why it is bad to shoot anterless deer. It explains that QDM is about deer heard health, not just antler size. It expains how to set up a program on your property, explaining how to do deer density counts, why deer weight is important to get, how to age a deer, types of food plots, etc..

I feel this is an important book for whitetail hunters to read. I hunt on public land, and before reading this book, I would have shot the first buck I saw. Now, I've learned that where I hunt, it is more important to let the buck walk on by.

Simply put; this book is a must for those who are serious about QDM. This book is the bible of the how and why of Quality Deer Management and takes you from theory to practicle application. Buy it, read it, reference it and apply it.

This book is fantastic! It gives you an expert detailed overview of the whole process of Whitetail deer management. Anyone looking to improve the quality of deer hunting on their land or public land can use this information. There is an organization called the QDMA,(Quality Deer Management Association) which I recently joined and this book is on their preferred reading list. This book teaches you the ins and outs of QDM, in simplistic terms. I recommend it highly! Other books of interest to you would be producing and harvesting trophy whitetail deer by JAMES KROLL, ANOTHER MASTER IN THE ART OF IMPROVING WHITETAIL DEER HERDS! A Must Read!

A very good book for the person who is just getting into QDM. Very informative on all aspects of QDM. Helps a person decide if QDM is right for them and also gives the person a clear understanding of the subject. Highly recomended.
