Troup County hunters hold balance on
Quality Deer Management decision
Quality Deer Management
is a concept which allows,
through voluntary laws, a
buck deer to live to a more
mature or "quality size."
In some counties, the law
protects all bucks with an
inside antler spread of less
than 15 Inches (Macon Coun
ty) or a minimum of four
points, one inch or longer, on
either side (as in Talbot Coun
ty).
The new regulation took off
quickly, but recent polling of
landowners in some potential
Quality Deer Management
counties has temporarily
stopped the process, accord
ing to Georgia Outdoor News.
Several critics have sug
gested the law restricts
hunters from shooting smaller
bucks and has driven up
hunting lease prices.
Another complaint is that
the law makes no exception
for young hunters to harvest
smaller bucks.
In the counties were
hunters have strongly “talked
up" the regulation, it has been
FPD spoils season opener for basketball Hornets
By Phil Clark
Horn Journal Sports
First year Westfield boys’
coach Duane Hunter had
barely two weeks to work with
his first squad, since many of
the players on the team just
finished football.
“We wanted to win the open
er”, Hunter said, “but even in
losing, we saw a lot of positive
things. Once we get their bas
ketball legs , under them, we
should be very competitive."
The Hornets dropped their
opener Nov 30 to Greg Moore’s
First Presbyterian Day School
Vikings 72-70 before an
enthusiastic crowd at the Hor
nets’ Nest.
The Hornets gained an early
lead as junior Daniel Weir
scored 10 of his game high 27
points in the first quarter for a
16-10 Westfield lead. But the
Vikings exploded for 27 points
in the second quarter, hitting
five consecutive three-pointers
to wipe out a five-point West

Land owners in Troup
County have given the green
light to countywide Quality
Deer Management regula
tions. In six other counties
where the change in deer
huntlng regulations was stud
ied, landowner survey results
halted the QDM.
This year, seven counties
applied to the Wildlife
Resources Division of the
Georgia Department of Natur
al Resources for consideration
of countywide QDM regula
tions for the 2000-2001 hunt
ing season.,
The first step in the process
field lead and take a 37-29
advantage at halftime.
In the third, it was West
field's turn for a big quarter as
seven different Hornets con
tributed to a 23-}% run which
tied the score at 52-all after
three quarters. Weir had six
points. Chance Jones hit the
only Hornet three-pointer and
Mitch Greer hit four crucial
free throws as the Hornets
battled back to gain the tie.
With 3:49 left in the game,
Viking Carson Royal hit two
from the foul line to tie the
game at 64-64. By the 2:35
mark, the teams had
exchanged baskets, with
Weir's two-pointer putting the
teams into another tie at 66-
all. With 1:35 left, Weir put his
team ahead with a basket after
a Bert Barnes' free throw.
With 1:19 left, Andrew Pow
ell of FPD drilled a three-point
er for a two-point Viking lead,
and the Hornets weren’t able
to catch up again Barnes hit
is an opinion survey mailed to
land owners in the county.
Before WRD will continue the
process, a minimum of 66 per
cent of the land owners sur
veyed must approve the
change.
In six of the seven counties
applying for the QDM regula
tions, the two-thirds majority
was not achieved, and the
issue died for this year.
Approval rates included 52
percent in Brooks and Colquitt
counties, 54 percent in Early
and Sumter counties: 56 per
cent in Oglethorpe County,
and 63 percent in Elbert Coun
ty-
In Troup County, the sole
survivor of the land owner sur
vey. the Wildlife Resources
Division sent out 433 surveys
and exactly half or 215 were
returned. Seventy percent of
the returned surveys gave sup
port to countywide QDM.
The next step in the regula
tions change process is a
hunter opinion survey. A two
thirds approved rate is also
required from hunters before
two from the foul line after the
Hornets missed a three-point
attempt that would have
taken the lead. A Weir basket
at the buzzer cut the margin
tack to two points, at 72-70.

the process continues.
Sign-up sheets for Troup
County deer hunters willing to
participate in the survey are
available at sporting goods
stores and deer coolers in the
county.
Meanwhile, deer hunters in
Troup County have already
begun collecting jawbones,
taking antler measurements
and body weights of deer to
provide WRD biologists with
data to make a decision on
which antler restrictions to
implement.
The hunter survey results
won't be known until early
January, 2000.
I’m not aware of any effort to
begin QDM in Houston County
on a countywide bases. Sever
al large hunting clubs have
begun QDM on their proper
ties. Hunters are a diverse
group. Some hold their shots
for a wall-hanger, while other
hunters believe a small buck
or doe is a good deer.

Dimedaie served as assistant

that his philosophy as a coach is
about much more than winning.
