National Deer Alliance Information

The mission of the National Deer Alliance (NDA) is to serve as the guardian of wild deer conservation, and our hunting heritage. Formally incorporated in May 2015, the NDA is driven to assemble and unite a diverse group of stakeholders that includes hunters, managers, and the hunting industry to help create positive outcomes for deer and deer hunting. NDA's PRIORITIES Wild deer conservation Diseases Hunter access Marketing, communications, and growth Predators and competitors State and federal land management Deer are the most commonly pursued and economically important game animal in North America. Despite the fact that 83% of the more than 14,000,000 hunters in the United States identified as deer hunters, there was no national organization geared toward protecting the interests of all deer hunters and the deer hunting industry before the formation of NDA. Amazingly, less than 1% of deer hunters belong to a national conservation organization dedicated to the protection of deer and our deer hunting heritage. This is where NDA comes in. The time has come for deer hunters, managers, and the hunting industry to organize and provide a united front to address current and emerging threats to deer hunting and our heritage. NDA represents the next generation of conservation organizations, where organizations rely heavily on digital and social media tools to accomplish desired outcomes. We will keep our members informed on key deer issues in North America through a weekly e-newsletter, real-time through social media, as well as through the many resources found on the NDA website.
