Seeing the forest for the trees. That can be a challenge in today’s busy world where simply finding time to be in the woods deer hunting is a welcome reprieve. Arguably, being in a hurry in the deer woods isn’t part of the best recipe for success considering how much we’re probably missing because we’re laser-focused on getting to a stand or blind without regard for the greater environment around us.
In this episode, Nick and The Doctor are joined by Master Naturalist and Guide Dan Gardoqui of Lead with Nature to talk about how birds and other animals tell us what’s happening in the woods around us and we’re likely missing it. That’s right. The birds might be giving your presence away or letting you know to be ready for the deer coming your way. This episode will have you looking at how you approach hunting in ways you likely haven’t before, and you’ll even get to hear some of Dan’s bird sound imitations!

Saddle hunting has grown steadily in popularity in recent years. More and more hunters are setting their climbing and fixed position stands aside, instead opting for the lightweight versatility of a saddle. Still, saddle hunting remains a mystery to many hunters and can be intimidating at first glance. In this episode, experienced saddle hunter Josh Hilliard of Tethrd joins Nick and the Doctor, who are also saddle hunters, to talk about everything from equipment to the pros and cons of this approach. They share some of their experiences and discuss resources available to prospective saddle hunters to help you get started. Tethrd is a corporate partner of the National Deer Association.

Finding yourself in a tussle with a grizzly bear isn’t something anyone imagines for themselves and even with top training on how to deal with that situation, the outcome is typically not good. That’s exactly the position Amber Kornak found herself in just as her career with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was getting started, but her quick thinking and determination helped her survive the incident, which she says made her resolve to continue her career in wildlife conservation even stronger. She shares her story with Nick in The Doctor in this episode, and explains why she volunteers for NDA despite her already busy work schedule. She tells the story of how her childhood growing up in Michigan hunting with her dad eventually led to her love of conservation and wanting to make it her career. She also explains why despite her own encounter, she doesn’t think anyone should be afraid to hunt in grizzly country.

Research shows that if you don’t grow up in a family of hunters or you’re not close to someone who does, chances are you won't become a hunter yourself. It can be an even bigger barrier if many around you are opposed to hunting and living a vegetarian lifestyle.
NDA’s Pennsylvania Field to Fork Coordinator, Elizabeth Kligge, not only overcame those obstacles, she developed a love for hunting and with it a strong desire to teach others who’ve always wanted to try it but never had the chance.
In this episode, Elizabeth shares her story with Nick and The Doctor, including how partaking in roadkill reinvigorated her willingness to eat meat! In addition to the interview, Elizabeth also wrote this recent article for NDA detailing her journey: How I Went from Vegetarian to Deer Hunter.

Just about everyone is fascinated with antlers, even those who don’t hunt deer. Not only are they cool to look at and get excited about as a hunter, but a ton can be learned from them even when they’ve been dropped to the ground by shedding bucks. In this episode, Nick and The Doctor are joined by Brian Peterson, Coordinator of the Master of Science Biology Online Program at the University of Nebraska-Kearney who talks about a number of antler-focused research projects he’s been involved with. The research seeks to answer questions about everything from hunter selection to how drought or other environmental factors impact antler growth. Brian is also a regular listener of the podcast and he offers his own B-Team story that’s sure to get a laugh.

In our previous episode, our guest Kip Adams talked about the need for hunters to shoot more deer in many areas of the country, and one of the obstacles hunters face is not needing additional venison for themselves.
We invited Jeremy Brown from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission and Ronnie Ritter from Arkansas Hunters Feeding the Hungry to talk about their unique venison snack stick program and how the state’s Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) is helping.
In some areas of the country, one in four households struggle with food insecurity, which is a startling statistic. All of us can work together to harvest more deer and get donated venison into the hands of the families that need it most. This unique program in Arkansas is setting a fine example for others to follow.
