Missouri QDMA
Three Eastern Missouri branches, from (Trail of Tears – Jackson, Mo., Semo – Ste. Gen, Mo., Gateway Branch - St. Louis) were represented at the Missouri Natural Resources Conference.
Panel of Speakers
The Quality Deer Management Association received numerous mentions during the speeches along with almost every power point display having the logo included with the presentation. Just some examples are, Pages within the QDMA website, Kip’s Corner, Education Material QDMA offers. It was very impressive to see the Missouri Department of Conservation highlight good management techniques and to include Quality Deer Management Association in the forefront to leading the way for those practices. Missouri Branches of the QDMA look forward to many opportunities in partnering with the MDC to reach more deer managers in Missouri for the benefit of the whitetail deer and other wildlife.
Missouri Whitetail Message Board was also mentioned and showed at Conference, which is good, they said join those sites and get engaged with the Missourians.
So if you get a chance to work with a MDC Private Land Conservationist, get it done. I have! Horntagger.
