Promoting deer breeding, handling, & husbandry in North America.
The Southeast Trophy Deer Association (SeTDA) exists to encourage and promote all ideas on breeding, handling, husbandry and farm management among its members. We promote deer breeding, ranching and all other avenues of cervid products in North America. We aim to acquire and distribute information on all aspects of deer breeding and ranching to our members and to keep members informed of all new breeding and management techniques.
We represent the deer breeding and ranching industry at local, state and national levels of government, to livestock producers and other related organizations. We stand for free trade among all states and to promote the importation and exportation for all producers. We also help to establish and promote ethical standards of conduct and husbandry in deer breeding.

"The vaccine has changed how we look at this disease,” Samantha Wisely, professor and director of the IFAS Cervidae Health Research Initiative (CHeRI), said. “We finished vaccine testing here in Florida last year and found it to be efficacious. Another vaccine is in development to be released next year, and we look forward to both of these vaccines becoming licensed for use in farmed deer."
So, what are the next steps?
According to IFAS, determine:
- best way to administer vaccines
- time of year to administer

The Captive Wildlife Section is reviewing rules for Hunt Preserves, Rule 68A-12.010 F.A.C. and Game Farms, Rule 68A-12.011 F.A.C. for possible modification. We would like your input on modifying the hunting preserve rule language which currently limits the size to a maximum of 10,000 acres with a proposed modification of no maximum size. Another potential modification is to include language within current rules to allow for the sale of native white-tailed deer venison from game farms as well as hunting preserve licensees that are dissolving their business. Please take 5 minutes to answer this short survey, which will be available until October 30, 2020 at midnight: www.surveymonkey.com/r/huntingrule
