The National Deer Alliance / 2015 Deer Summit
Here at Ani-Logics™, we strive to stay current with wildlife meetings that happen throughout the country. Even if the topics involved are not directly related to nutritional supplements for deer, we still like to keep up to date on current events.
Last month we attended the 2015 Deer Summit put on by the National Deer Alliance. The main objective of the National Deer Alliance (NDA) is to unify deer hunters and increase our strength in numbers by reaching out to members of other deer organizations such as Quality Deer Management Association, Whitetails Unlimited, and the Mule Deer Foundation.
In case you haven’t heard about the NDA, they serve as an outreach network to create the largest possible membership base of deer hunters by removing all participation barriers. That is one of the main reasons why NDA membership is FREE (sign up today at www.nationaldeeralliance.com).
The main objective of the 2015 Deer Summit was to identify priorities for the National Deer Alliance to tackle in the next few years. Voting occurred among participants and the 15 most important action items (3 per category) can be found here.
While there were some major issues and action items presented here, the underlying message was clear: DEER ARE BECOMING LESS IMPORTANT TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND CHANGE IS NEEDED!
Shane Mahoney, a world renowned conservationist, was one of the keynote speakers at the Summit. He wants to educate the masses on the importance of deer and other wild game. His goal is to put a value on Wild Game throughout North America. His press release on the Wild Harvest Initiative can be found at http://conservationvisions.com/. In it, he states that wild protein harvested from nature is as high quality as it gets. It is our original diet.
Mahoney’s idea is to quantify the biomass of wild game and fish that is harvested and eaten in North America, so that even people that do not hunt or fish can understand the importance of wild game to society as a whole. When more people become aware of the significance of wildlife as a safe, healthy food source, they will get a better understanding of why the conservation and management of those resources is important to them.
Next time you have a dinner that includes wild game, know that you are eating the most sustainable protein available. Feel free to invite your friends over that may not hunt, but would still enjoy a taste of your hard earned wild protein. As hunters, we sometimes mistake people that do not hunt as anti-hunters, when in fact they are willing to try if someone would just show them how.
