QDMA to Unveil 2010 Whitetail Report at SHOT Show

Bogart, Ga. - During a press conference on January 20 at the SHOT Show, QDMA will present the newest edition of the Whitetail Report, a comprehensive look at the status of whitetail populations and whitetail hunting in North America.

Highlighting data collected during the past year, the report focuses on the threats, concerns, successes and challenges that will shape the white-tailed deer's immediate and long-term future-and in turn, that of the entire hunting industry. QDMA's staff of professional wildlife biologists compiled the information as a useful resource for communicators, media members, industry leaders, deer managers, and hunters.

The 2010 Whitetail Report will include current issues and trends in deer management, specifically license sales, hunter effort, state agency budgets, the immunocontraceptive recently licensed for use on free-ranging white-tailed deer, fawn recruitment rates, fawn breeding rates, buck fawn harvest rates, CWD, whitetail predators, and more. The report will also contain a comprehensive analysis of state agency deer management programs.

Every hunter and individual interested in white-tailed deer will appreciate the management reference and research sections that will offer information on antlered buck management, deer management strategies, antlerless deer harvest, aging bucks on the hoof, the value of mature bucks, detecting the peak of the rut, and more.

During the press conference, Brian Murphy, wildlife biologist and CEO of QDMA, will be presenting data from the report as well as taking audience questions. Following the presentation, he will be available for one-on-one interviews.

Make plans to attend QDMA's Whitetail Report presented by Remington at the 2010 SHOT Show. The press conference begins at 2:30 p.m. in the Venetian Level 2 Meeting Room #2601. Press conference attendees will receive the 2010 Whitetail report in digital format to be used as a reference resource throughout the year.
