While QDMA does fund some of their own research, most of what they report on is actually university/state wildlife agency collaborative research paid for by excise taxes on firearms and ammunition and hunting license sales. QDMA does an excellent job taking the very technical information and relating to the public. As far as most of the research, hunters should thank themselves for making it possible.
Regardless of their position on researching deer, their strategy and cooperation with State agencies has been effective in regards to informing the general public.
@XJfire75, thanks for sharing my article here! Greatly appreciated, and thanks to all for the kind words about the work we do at QDMA, and to those who are members. FYI, our Georgia Branch volunteers have banquets coming up in Macon (August 24), Athens (September 28), and Savannah (October). Come out and support them!
Although QDMA is an international organization, they happen to be headquartered right here in Bogart Georgia.Had no idea you were a member! Shoulda known.
I’ll definitely try to make the Savannah banquet.
Keep up the good work!
