Arthur Dick, QDMA Deer Steward III and his manager Tommy Kirby have been managing Willow Oaks
Plantation (www.willowoaksplantation.com) for the past 8.5 years following a quality wildlife management plan.
Offering a diverse mix of early successional habitats through hardwood forests, early and old growth pine
plantation, agricultural and fallow field management this hunt offered a new experience at every turn. The
2009 QDM for Kids hunt at Willow Oaks Plantation was truly a taste of paradise, inspiring all who attended to
support and learn more about the QDM philosophy.
