TRI-CITIES BRANCH QDMA

The Tri-Cities Branch of QDMA was formed in March 2007. Although charterd in Bristol VA we serve the entire Tri- City area including Kingsport and Johnson City TN. 

It started with a few local guys and girls who all shared the same common outdoor and hunting interest. After getting together for a meeting with the QDMA Regional Director to discuss the need for Quality Deer Management in our area, we signed our charter, and the new QDMA branch was official. Since then our branch has been very busy promoting the QDM philosophy, and trying to educate hunters and land managers about whitetail deer. So far we have held several different educational seminars and fundraising event's, including our 1st annual QDMA REACH Banquet. The Tri-Cities Branch of QDMA looks forward to continued growth in 2008 by forming partnerships with other wildlife conservation organization's, and outdoor/hunting enthusiasts in our area. If you are interested in becoming a member of the QDMA, or would like more information about our local branch, please contact one of our representatives.

What is a Branch?

A Branch is a group of QDMA members who are interested in promoting the science and philosophy of QDM and the QDMA. QDMA Branches hold a variety of activities including educational seminars, field days, kids' days and fundraising raffles and banquets. Each QDMA Branch is required to hold one educational event and one fundraising banquet per year.
