Bogart, Ga. – The Northeast Michigan Branch of the QDMA has been named winner of the inaugural Quality Deer Management Association Branch Event of the Year Award. The Branch earned the award by staging a Food Plot Field Day that drew a crowd of more than 400.
The Northeast Michigan Branch was honored in Chattanooga, Tenn., during the 2007 QDMA National Convention and Whitetail Expo. Other nominees for the award included Michigan’s Barry County Branch; the Cape Fear River Branch, from North Carolina; the Maryland State Chapter; and South Carolina’s Midlands Branch.
