Quality Deer Management Association - Deer Steward 2 - LaGrange, KY - 2012
Two individuals from Southeast Missouri attended the Quality Deer Management Association - Deer Steward II Class in LaGrange Kentucky at Historical Asbourne Farms on June 22 thru 25 of 2012.
The Deer Steward II course is a focus on the application of principles covered in Deer Steward I in which only 372 people in the nation have taken and only 12 in the state of Missouri. Deer Steward I is a prerequisite for Deer Steward II.
Those principles being the four cornerstones of Quality Deer Management - herd management, habitat management, hunter management and herd monitoring. Level II included a mix of classroom and field instruction, and the course ended by having the students apply their knowledge and develop an actual deer management plan.
Course was 2½ days in length with written and practical testing at the end, and individuals from across the country representing 12 states and Canada attended this class. Only 240 people in the nation have taken the advance Deer Steward II training and only 5 in the state of Missouri.
