QDMA's E-book Receives Award for Innovations in Technology

ATHENS, GA - The Quality Deer Management Association is pleased to announce that its e-book, QDMA's Guide to Successful Deer Hunting, received the Innovations in Technology Award from the International Hunter Education Association (IHEA) at their 2017 conference in Oregon.

"We designed our e-book to help teach new graduates of Hunter-Ed.com how to hunt deer, so we chose an electronic medium to reach a wired generation," said Hank Forester, QDMA's Hunting Heritage Programs Manager, who attended the IHEA conference. "This award from IHEA tells us we accomplished that mission. Thanks to the IHEA for the work they do and for this recognition."

Sponsored by Weatherby, IHEA's award is presented to an individual, group or member of industry that exhibited outstanding support of the IHEA-USA and its mission by developing better ways of delivery of the hunter education program through advances in technology.

"Both IHEA-USA and Weatherby are always looking for ways to improve our products and programs. With the development of their e-book, QDMA has shown that they too are always looking to improve and reach out to a new younger generation through technology," said Brad Heidel, Executive Director of IHEA-USA.

QDMA's Guide to Successful Deer Hunting is 267 pages long and includes 15 chapters written by eight different contributors, all QDMA staff members. Major subjects are expanded upon in 18 embedded videos produced exclusively for the project by Primos Hunting. Dozens of full color photos also help illustrate the chapters, and links to external resources and articles allow readers to explore every topic in greater depth as desired.

QDMA's Guide to Successful Deer Hunting is available as a free graduation gift to all who complete their hunting safety course at Hunter-Ed.com, providers of Internet hunting safety courses for more than 45 states. The e-book was produced in partnership with Kalkomey, the parent company of Hunter-Ed.com., and Primos Hunting. QDMA's Guide to Successful Deer Hunting is also available for purchase on Amazon, and you can download and read it on any device using the free Kindle app. Gifting the e-book to new or aspiring hunters is easy through Amazon. All you need is the e-mail address of the gift recipient.
