American Deer & Wildlife Alliance

AUSTIN, Texas --(Ammoland.com)- The American Deer & Wildlife Alliance (ADWA) is pleased to announce a new partnership with Dr. Deer Inc., the industry’s leading voice for modern deer management.

ADWA and Dr. James C. Kroll, known nationally as ‘Dr. Deer,’ will work together to promote the deer industry and increase public awareness for issues relating to deer, hunting and wildlife management.

“Dr. Kroll is widely recognized as the Father of Modern Whitetail Management, and it’s a privilege and honor to be working with him to promote the benefits of deer management,” says John Meng, president of the American Deer Association.

“There are many misconceptions today, even among sportsmen, about deer management and the benefits that well-conceived management plans can bring to properties of all sizes. We will work closely with Dr. Kroll to create greater awareness for how hunters and land owners can improve hunting experiences through wildlife management, a practice we know will ultimately increase overall hunting participation.”

The director of the Institute for White-tailed Deer Management and Research and Henry M. Rockwell Chair of Forestry, Stephen F. Austin State University (SFASU), Dr. Kroll has authored more than 300 technical and popular articles, ten books and numerous videos. Over the past three decades, he has appeared on TNN, ESPN, the Outdoor Channel, Sportsman Channel, Wild TV and Pursuit Channel, winning two awards for his Dr. Deer contributions. He appears weekly on North American Whitetail TV, and stars in Winchester presents Dr. Deer. He is recognized as the authority on intensive whitetail management and economic development of wildlife-recreation enterprises and one of the founding fathers of the Texas Deer Association.

Dr. Kroll has also recently introduced his all-new Dr. Deer Management System, the industry’s first automated deer management consulting service. Developed in partnership with GMS, the Dr. Deer Management System helps hunters and land owners keep accurate records on their hunting properties and receive a professional analysis and consultation by Dr. Kroll within just a few hours. The program provides more than 27 different reports, year-to-year comparisons as well as geographical analysis for property and production quality.
