QDMA Leadership - Deer Research Facility

Picture
Here in Athen Georgia at the Deer Leadership Meeting along with a tour of the Deer Research Facilty, which was very cool all the research that has been done along with watching what is going on now.

Outside the Deer Barn, Dr. Miller talking with crowd
about all the different research that has taken and is taking place.







Deer and Colors

Picture
Researcher showing the study of what colors deer can or cannot see, they are building on what has already been done. It is very cool information as a hunter wearing different camo patterns over the year this will really shed new light in an in depth way.

Deer and Highways

Picture
Researcher talking inside deer pen about research on deer barriers for highway. With what they have learned so far it is amazing such a simple solution has not been thought of before.

Hard to believe that state highway departments and insurance companies across the country don't take the extra step to help fund this research, with what they learned so far is amazing
.

Also QDMA is about to release their improved website. In my opinion this will trake the QDMA to all new levels. Can't wait till it goes online.


Mark Thomas & Brian Murphy

Picture

This is Mark Thomas one of the best Speakers in my humble opinion on Land Management for Whitetail Deer, he is now the Chairman of the Board and is one of the first speakers I ever heard speak on behalf of Quality Deer Management Association - On August 23, 2003 and the reason I join QDMA that day and practice QDM today.
Also Brian Murphy the CEO of QDMA and also was a Speaker on August 23, 2003 in Columbia, he is passionate about the whitetail and its habitat along with Quality Deer Management Association in which he has sacrifice greatly at the beginning of his relationship with QDMA. He is also the reason I joined QDMA that day and practice QDM today
Both of them of course spoke and asked for feedback at the Leadership Summit.
Both of them are examples of great men and I wish their where more like them, If I only do 1/8 of what they have done for the Whitetail Deer and Deer Hunters and the Future of both, I would consider that part of my life a success. I hold both of them in high regard and consider them a  friend.
