QDMA To Sponsor Antler Roundup The local branch of the Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA) will be sponsoring their 5th annual antler roundup on February 26 from noon to 4 p.m. at the Inn at Montrose. Bring in antlers (deer, elk) from any past years to have them scored and measured by QDMA scorers. Bring in your deer jawbones to have them aged by branch directors. Deer antlers are scored at no charge, jawbones are aged at no charge. According to Branch Treasurer Al Cuevas, ”this event has always been a successful educational and informative event with about 40 sets of antlers being scored each year.” Branch director Rusty Ely, of South Montrose, will be the lead person on aging jawbones. The Branch will also have a fund raising activity that will take place while antlers are being scored. The Branch uses monies raised to further develop food plots on State Game lands 35, 140, and 219 and educational outreach and youth scholarships to attend wildlife educational camps.
