Quality Deer Management Association – Derby
City Branch

The KY Derby City Branch hosts an annual Military Youth Deer Hunt in support of our local troops of KY.
‍

OUR GOAL: It is our goal to provide a quality hunting experience for the children of our deserving service members. We are planning for up to 40 children, ages 10 thru 15, to participate. Each child will be paired up with an experienced adult mentor whose responsibility will be to provide a safe, yet rewarding hunting experience. In addition to hunting, each child will: 

• Develop marksmanship skills in both archery and modern firearms. 
• Attend activities related to whitetail biology, hunter ethics, field care of deer, and more.
• Experience the deer camp environment. 
• Participate in games that revolve around wildlife education and hunting skill development.
• Become members of QDMA’s Rack Pack! 
• This event is free to participating families!

‍

THE MISSION: The primary mission of our program is to provide a safe and rewarding hunting opportunity to the children of our men and women serving in the Armed Forces. Without our help, these children may miss the opportunity to enjoy the hunting experience. It is our chance to give back to those who give so much.
