Antler Up - Inside the NDA: How Deer See the World with Lindsay Thomas Jr. Sep 03, 2025

Show notes

In this very first Inside the NDA episode, Jeremy sits down with Lindsay Thomas Jr., Chief Communications Officer for the National Deer Association, for an eye-opening discussion on how deer see, smell, and survive in the wild. Lindsay breaks down fascinating insights into deer vision—how their broader peripheral view, ability to see in low light, and rapid information processing give them a huge advantage over hunters. They also dive into why scent control and cover matter more than just camo, and how understanding these details can elevate your time in the woods.

Beyond the science, this episode highlights why the NDA’s mission matters now more than ever. Jeremy and Lindsay discuss deer behavior patterns, how hunters can prepare both physically and mentally for success, and the importance of practicing in the same gear you’ll hunt in. Lindsay also shares how NDA programs like Field to Fork and local chapters are strengthening the hunting community and creating opportunities for mentorship, recruitment, and education. Whether you’re chasing whitetails this fall or looking to give back to the next generation of hunters, this conversation is packed with insights to make you sharper and more connected in the field.
