The Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA) is a non-profit wildlife conservation organization dedicated to promoting sustainable, high-quality, white-tailed deer populations, wildlife habitats and ethical hunting experiences through education, research, and management in partnership with hunters, landowners, natural resource professionals, and the public.

What is Quality Deer Management?
Quality Deer Management is a management strategy that produces healthy deer herds with balanced adult sex ratios and improved buck age structures. This approach typically involves the protection of young bucks combined with an adequate harvest of female deer to maintain a healthy population in balance with existing habitat conditions. Other key components of QDM include habitat management, hunter management, and record keeping.

A successful QDM program requires an increased knowledge of deer biology and active participation in management. This level of involvement extends the role of the hunter from mere consumer to manager. To an increasing number of landowners and hunters, QDM is a desirable alternative to deer management programs where young bucks are actively harvested and doe harvest is restricted.

GrowingDeer.tv

GrowingDeer.tv’s mission is to provide current, useful information about hunting and growing white-tailed deer throughout the year. A new episode will be released for on-line viewing every Monday — or more frequently on those weeks there’s a lot of action! Each episode will show what we are focusing on that week as we manage properties for growing and hunting whitetail deer. GrowingDeer.tv episodes will include action packed hunts, proven hunting tactics, food plot and trail camera techniques, and the gear it takes to get it all done.

GrowingDeer.tv is a creation of Dr. Grant Woods, a lifelong hunter with 20+ years of experience in managing whitetails throughout their range. Grant’s goal is to use this web site to provide real time information for men and women that are passionate about deer, deer hunting, and management programs. Grant loves to hunt turkeys also — so expect a few turkey episodes during the spring!

Episodes are designed to help you resolve the common problems that are encountered while hunting or the daily tasks associated with improving your hunting property — real time — week to week with no repeats.
