QDMA Secures $50,000 Grant For Deer Research A cooperative ongoing study of deer and deer hunting in Pennsylvania has received promise of additional funding with the announcement by the Quality Deer Management Association of a $50,000 grant secured from the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation. The grant is for the expansion of the study begun in January and scheduled to continue through 2008 that is being conducted by the Pennsylvania Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit at Penn State University and the Pennsylvania Game Commission. The grant is a 50-50 match of federally appropriated funds and money raised through QDMA-sponsor Budweiser and its “Help Budweiser Help the Outdoors” program. Study data will help deer managers understand how deer react to hunting pressure and how hunters utilize public hunting lands.
