The Southeast Deer Study Group meets annually for researchers and managers to share the latest information on the most important wildlife species in North America. These meetings provide an important forum for the sharing of research results, management strategies, and discussions that can facilitate the timely identification of, and solutions to, problems relative to the management of white-tailed deer.
White-tailed deer researchers, managers, hunters, and enthusiasts from the Southeast and beyond are welcome and encouraged to attend. To learn more about the history of the meeting or to find proceedings from prior years you can visit the SEDSG’s home website here.

Stay tuned for more context for this year's theme and updates on our plenary lineup!
