Opening weekend tagout
Since about the late 1990s we have practiced what I would call moderate QDM on our family farm. It's a small parcel, but along with the neighbors, the valley was able to upgrade the age structure to at least have consistent numbers of 2yo bucks around which means that a few 3 year olds show up and so on and so forth. While we are successful on the occasional mature buck, our families success rate has gone way down and tag soup up over the years. This year it felt pretty darn good to have my father, son and myself all fill our buck tags. They may not be within the age structure we prefer but it is the first year since 1992 that my father and I both tagged bucks during firearm season.

Congrats to all.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.
