Summary
Today on the show I'm joined by Nick Pinizzotto, Kip Adams, and Lindsay Thomas Jr to discuss one of the most significant changes in the deer conservation world in decades - the merging of the Quality Deer Management Association and the National Deer Alliance into a brand new organization.
Topics discussed:
- Why the QDMA and NDA are merging into a new organization
- The mission of the new organization
- How will this impact deer and deer hunters?
- What to expect for prior QDMA members
- Will there still be a management and habitat focus in this new organization?
- Thoughts on the legacy of QDMA and the ending of an era
- What the National Deer Alliance leadership learned over its five years of existence
- What NDA can bring to the new org from a policy perspective
- The big wins and wishes that the new org hopes to see come to fruition
- Why we the hunters are the most important part of this new era in deer conservation
- What we need to do in the coming day and years to make a positive difference for deer
