Quality Deer Management Association

Founded in 1988, the Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA) is a nonprofit wildlife conservation organization dedicated to ensuring the future of white-tailed deer, wildlife habitat and North Americas rich deer-hunting heritage. 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. The goals and activities of QDMA are accomplished through its national office, regional employees and extensive grassroots volunteer network. Additionally, QDMA, through its national office and local volunteer Branches, contributes millions annually to local, state and national deer initiatives. Given QDMAs history of using science and hunter ethics to guide sound deer management decisions, it is widely considered the most respected and influential whitetail conservation organization in North America.
