Dr. Bronson Strickland is the foremost authority in whitetail deer research right.  He is also our friend.  Over the years we have had a great relationship with Bronson centered around the mutual love for whitetail deer and a desire to properly manage habitat in a way that maximizes the overall herd health as well as antler production.    On this episode we will be  talking about summer foodplots and deer nutrition.  We also discuss Bronson's transition from MSU to private consulting.  He and Mitt Warldaw along with some of the best consultants in the country have formed Wildlife Investments.  In case you are just getting into hunting and  habitat management, here is a short bio on Dr. Strickland: Bronson Strickland holds BS, MS, and Ph.D. degrees in wildlife biology and management from the University of Georgia, Texas A&M-Kingsville, and Mississippi State University. He has been a co-director of the MSU Deer Lab since 2006 where he researched white-tailed deer biology and management and habitat management. Bronson's strengths are buck population management and the habitat management techniques used to promote the production and harvest of the best bucks. Bronson is a Certified Wildlife Biologist and was given the Al Brothers Deer Manager of the Year Award by the Quality Deer Management Association in 2019, the Lee Gladfelter Memorial Award by the Pope & Young Club in 2019, and the Joe Hamilton Lifetime Achievement Award by the National Deer Association in 2024. https://wildlifeinvestments.com/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553479625266

Whether you are trying to grow a giant buck on your property or searching public land looking for the biggest deer you can find, this video is a must-watch. In this video, Brian Murphy and Dr. Carl Miller separate fact from fiction when it comes to antler development in whitetail deer. Brian was the CEO of the Quality Deer Management Association (now the National Deer Association) for 23 years, and Dr. Carl Miller, professor emeritus at the University of Georgia, has been professionally studying whitetails for over 45 years. In this video we discuss: - The difference between antlers and horns - How to tell if an antler deformity is genetic or not - What makes a buck display non-typical points - What to look for in hunting properties if you are trying to find or grow huge bucks - Some of the biggest bucks tagged each year are...immature?! - Are you lowering the quality of the genetics in a deer herd by shooting trophy bucks? - What constitutes a "management buck" - What most bucks are genetically programmed to look like - What makes a good "cull buck" - What is it that makes a buck's antlers so gnarled at the bases? and tons more!

For many long-time hunters, the words "Quality Deer Management Association" brings to mind images of big giant bucks, exclusive hunting leases, and John Deere tractors planting lush green fields. That organization, while undoubtedly effective at educating hunters about deer and land management, garnered an image of catering only to private landowners to the exclusion of the Average Joe deer hunter. But now, to the surprise of many (and...

This week Marc  chats with former Ontario conservation officer turned hunting outfitter and educator Rob Argue. Rob was a conservation officer for 20 years, owned an archery pro shop for 7 years, was the director of operations and outreach for the Quality Deer Management Association of Canada for 3.5 years and has been a guide and the owner of 2 hunting and fishing lodges for the past 12 years.   Rob has most recently started a company called New Outdoors.  Over the course of Rob's professional life, he observed many people wanting to try hunting or fishing but either they didn't know where to begin or they had tried modestly and wanted to upgrade their knowledge and skills.  Rob's venture caters to the new outdoors enthusiast and aims at recruiting more educated hunters to the ranks.Find out more at www.newoutdoors.net#GoHuntBirds | #evolve | #ShareBirdHuntingwww.GoHuntBirds.com

Brian talks about the birth of the QDMA and the struggles he faced while growing the conservation organization. He discusses how QDMA slowly started to gain traction and their membership started to grow throughout the years.

​On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch has a conversation with Kip Adams.  Kip is a biologist and the Chief Conservation Officer for the National Deer Association (NDA).  Prior to Kip's engagement with the Quality Deer Management Association and NDA, he was the deer project leader for New Hampshire Fish & Game Department.  New Hampshire, as well as many other states in the northern portion of the whitetail deer's home range, is not immune to severe winter weather having an impact on the local herd.  Kip was involved in numerous surveys in New Hampshire monitoring winter areas as well as mortality.In addition to the wealth of knowledge regarding whitetail biology, Kip is a Pennsylvania native who finds himself hunting property he manages in northern Pennsylvania.  He can relate to the weather patterns in the Keystone state and how they may impact winter survival.  Kip explains that providing winter food for deer is not a reactionary process – it takes planning ahead to manage plant communities accessible to the deer herd this time of year.  However, as many landowners begin to hit the panic button during these harsh conditions, they will find themselves making the mistake of piling food.  Commonly, corn piles and hay bales get places near wintering yards, and while this is intended to be a positive deed, it can result in disease, predation, and higher rates of mortality.  Take notes, as this episode will have us back in the biology classroom!

I’m so pumped on deer season that it’s taking over this podcast.  Today, we’re chatting with Lindsay Thomas with QDMA. I’ve known him for years now, and am honestly disappointed it’s taken me this long to get him onto Restless Native.  I learned a good amount about QDMA, that’s the Quality Deer Management Association, as well as whitetail behavior. Lindsay also talks about his journey in the outdoor industry, and name drops a few of his outdoor writers these days.

You’ve heard about them, maybe even as far back as the 80’s, but chances are you haven’t hunted from one and are at least interested in learning more about the technique. In this episode, we talk with Josh Hillyard from the Quality Deer Management Association about his experience hunting from a tree saddle and we…Read More Read More

The Quality Deer Management Association's Director of Communications Mr. Lindsay Thomas Jr. joins us today to talk about his foray into the world of hunting as well as all things about the QDMA.  The leader in whitetail deer management for over 30 years, the QDMA is always in the forefront of what is happening with the world of the whitetail. Lindsay spends time discussing some of the great programs of the QDMA and we share how you can become a part. 

About 2 weeks ago, something happened that we suspect will change conservation in this country in a huge way. That something was a merger between two whitetail deer conservation groups. Today, Jason talks with Lindsay Thomas Jr. and Nick Pinizzotto about the joining of the Quality Deer Management Association and the National Deer Alliance. In the past, we have touted the benefits of the QDMA and had various members of the organization on to talk about their impact. This time, we delve into what this merger means for current QDMA and NDA members, what changes will be made at the chapter level, and how this union helps deer. After hearing the conversation, we think the excitement in their voices says it all. To read about the merger and join, go to QDMA.com

Hosts Fran Chismar and Tom Knezick talk with Kip Adams (Director of Conservation) from The Quality Deer Management Association in this Part 2 of a 2 part series on Deer and Native Plants. They discuss a new merger, building a healthy ecosystem for quality deer herds, native plants that are essential for healthy deer, and the "locavore" movement and the QDMA "Field to Fork" program.  Music by Stephen Mahar.

This week's podcast we cover the latest and greatest research when it come to habitat management for wildlife. We recently spent time at the Quality Deer Management Association's National Convention in New Orleans. There we heard, Dr. Craig Harper, share some groundbreaking news that him and his team had discovered. This information will shape the way you look at your property, it's soils, and the vegetation available to deer. Within the research, they discovered that no longer is a property limited by its soil quality when they are managing native, early successional plant communities, aka “old-fields”. Native plants whether you are in the fertile lands along the Mississippi or the rough country of West Virginia, produce the same nutritional levels! Many of the native plants also meet the requirements for deer to reach their full potential. If you desire the local deer herd to be the best it can be, here is your answer. Are you managing these resources on your property? Download here, and we will show you how to get the most from your hunting property. Enjoy. Learn.
