Default Formed a QDM Co-op

Through some leg work and help from a few fellow hunters, we were able to form a QDM CO-op in my hunting area (SW MI). This area is notorious for high yearling buck harvest and unbalanced sex ratios (as is most of southern MI). We had 35 hunters show up for our initial meeting. As a result, we should have around 3,000 acres participating. Not all of it is contiguous at this time. We will meet in the near future to discuss our goals for the co-op. This sure has us excited for the future. Our area has good potential to grow nice bucks if given the chance.

Yes and he did a great job. Very cool of him to come. He said that is the most hunters he has ever seen for an initial meeting. Hopefully we have good things ahead of us.

BTW, he brought the rack of his '08 buck. It's even more impressive in person.

That sounds great Vito, I hope it works out for you, which i'm sure it will. With that many people working together you should start seeing some good results. We find thathaving annual meetingsis a great way to share progress and discuss our findings. It's fun seeing the trail cam pictures and the yearto year progress that is made. Good luck!
