QDMA Northeast Regional Director Kip Adams offered his congratulations to the Game Commission and Dr. Alt for being selected for these two awards.
"As a Pennsylvania resident, I'd like to congratulate the Game Commission on this prestigious award," Adams said. "As a friend and fellow deer biologist, I'm very proud that Dr. Alt was selected as the first-ever professional of the year.
This is a totally meaningless award since Kip Adams had no clue what the OWDD goals were for the state .He was speechless when I showed him the goals at the Lehigh Valley Sports Expo,where Alt admitted the OWDD goals were wrong. Managing the herd at OWDD's that are lower than 50% below the true carrying capacity is contrary to the principles of QDM and would get any private deer manager fired..
