The event will give away 1 gun for every 15 people in attendance. So if there are 400 people there, that is 27 guns. Or if there are 600 people like we had at our Central LA Banquet, that is 40 guns, so it is pretty much the same quality of event. No other banquet from any other conservation organization has that many guns to give away at an event. Several of the members of the Bayou Branch attended our Central LA event in Alexandria last month. The Bayou Branch is BRAND NEW. They just formed about a month ago. This is their very first event. These guys are going FULL STEAM AHEAD!!! This is a great group of guys and very dedicated to the mission statement of QDMA. There event tomorrow night is going to be probably one of the largest first time events ever in the history of QDMA. They will definitely be bringing a lot of enthusiasm to the Houma/Thibodaux area about proper deer and habitat management, youth hunting and shooting activities, the new youth organization The Rack Pack, and the REACH program. I wish yall the best guys!!!! Good Luck! Wish I could make it.

Just a reminder that the Deer and Hog Field Day, sponsored by LSU and QDMA is this Saturday at the Idlewild Research Station in Clinton. Pre-registration ends on Wed so if you want to save $10, you need to call (225) 291-7500 now and register.

Jones Wildlife Research Institute will be discussed, along with studies currently ongoing within the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.

There is no Bob Jones associated with QDMA in LA. But anyways...QDMA will teach you how to form a co-op with your neighbors, just like I did. I own 103, but we have over 3000 acres with everyone only shooting bucks 4.5 years and older.

I have 103 acres and the benefits have been tremendous. Habitat improvements, herd management, and predator control have resulted in healthier deer, more deer, bigger deer, and more importantly, better hunting experiences.

The QDMA Field Day is filling up fast. Please call and pre-register so that you can get through the registration table quicker that morning. You don't want to miss any of the program that is lined up that day. Call (225) 291-7500 to register.

QDMA members still have to pay. QDMA is a qualifying non-profit so donations are deductible. If you call the phone number provided, they can provide more info.

Thanks for the interest!
