Antler Up - Inside the NDA: The State of Deer Hunting with Nick Pinizzotto Sep 10, 2025

Show notes

In episode 2 of the Inside the NDA on the Antler Up Podcast, I sit down with Nick Pinizzotto, CEO of the National Deer Association, for an in-depth look at the state of deer hunting in America. Nick shares why, thanks to increased education, resources, and dedicated hunters, deer hunting is in many ways better than ever. We talk about the powerful role citizen conservationists play in improving deer habitats, the unique and passionate culture of Pennsylvania hunters, and how every hunter can make a difference in shaping the future.

Our conversation also dives into the biggest challenges, including the growing threat of chronic wasting disease and the need for hunters to engage beyond the hunt through conservation work, policy involvement, and local sportsman’s clubs. Nick highlights the NDA’s role in providing education and leadership in deer management, while reflecting on how personal hunting experiences evolve with time and knowledge. At the heart of it all, this episode is a reminder that every one of us can contribute to the future of deer and deer hunting—sometimes it just starts with doing one more thing.
