Antler Up Podcast

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.

This week on the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by my good friend Justin Synan for a special conversation that was also featured over on his show, the Run’n and Gun’n Podcast. Anytime Justin and I sit down, it’s less of an interview and more of a catch-up between friends, and this one is no different. We dive into life, family, and how finding balance off the clock is just as important as anything we do in the woods. From the role family plays in keeping us grounded, to the mindset shifts that help us enjoy hunting beyond just the outcome, this is a conversation that blends real talk with our shared passion for the outdoors.

We also get into the practical side of prepping for the season—everything from scouting and reading deer patterns to being physically and mentally ready when the moment comes. Justin and I talk about learning from past hunts, what we’re focused on heading into this year, and why community and friendships are such an important piece of the hunting lifestyle. At the end of the day, it’s about enjoying the journey, not just the results, and this episode is a great reminder of that.

This week on the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by my good friends Jim D’Agostino and Tim Sisock live from AU Deer Camp for a conversation that’s equal parts nostalgia, hunting prep, and good camp laughs. We kick things off reminiscing about the music and concerts of the late ’90s and early 2000s—including the wildness of Woodstock ’99—before diving into why camaraderie is the heartbeat of any deer camp. From balancing work and leisure to soaking up those campfire moments, this episode captures the true spirit of the preseason.

We also break down our game plans for the months ahead, from scouting and dialing in setups to how we’re using cameras and tech to get an edge. Jim shares exciting news about launching a nonprofit hockey organization for youth athletes, and we swap stories about cooking up venison and the joy of sharing it with friends. With hunting season just around the corner, we talk about the challenges we’re looking forward to, the tags we’re saving for the right moment, and the drive to make this fall one to remember.

This week on the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by two great friends—Rob Mendoza and Jared Shaffer—for a conversation that goes beyond gear and tactics. We recorded this one while on a quick trip to Maryland, where we spent some much-needed time in the woods together and shot a local 3D archery course. It was a weekend filled with laughs, learning, and a deeper appreciation for what this lifestyle is really all about.

In this episode, we dive into how hunting continues to shape our lives—not just as a pursuit, but as a way to build stronger friendships, create unforgettable memories, and stay grounded in something real. From sharing early season plans to reflecting on how hunting has transformed each of us, this one’s all about the camaraderie, growth, and connection that happens when you step outside and chase something bigger than yourself. If you’ve ever come back from a hunt feeling more alive, this one will hit home. Antler Up!
