WITH MEMBERS IN ALL 50 STATES AND CANADA, QDMA WORKS CLOSELY WITH HUNTERS, LANDOWNERS, WILDLIFE AGENCIES AND OTHER CONSERVATIONISTS TO IMPROVE DEER HERDS AND HUNTER SATISFACTION ON MILLIONS OF ACRES OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LAND.

QDMA IS THE LEADING WHITETAIL ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO CONSERVING NORTH AMERICA'S FAVORITE GAME ANIMAL. WE ARE HUNTERS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE WHO SHARE A PASSION FOR WHITE-TAILED DEER. WE BELIEVE IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THE FUTURE OF WHITE-TAILED DEER, WILDLIFE HABITAT AND OUR HUNTING HERITAGE. AS THE AUTHORITY ON ALL THINGS WHITETAIL, WE BLEND THE ART OF HUNTING WITH THE SCIENCE OF MANAGEMENT TO CREATE BETTER DEER AND BETTER DEER HUNTING. WE ACCOMPLISH OUR MISSION BY FOCUSING EFFORTS IN FIVE KEY AREAS: RESEARCH, EDUCATION, ADVOCACY, CERTIFICATION AND HUNTING. QDMA IS INVOLVED IN ALL AREAS OF WHITE-TAILED DEER RESEARCH INCLUDING BIOLOGY, ECOLOGY, MANAGEMENT, HUNTING, DISEASES AND HUMAN DIMENSIONS.
