In this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles podcast, host Dan Johnson speaks with Nick Pinizzotto, CEO of the National Deer Association (NDA). They discuss the evolution of the NDA following its merger with the Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA), the organization's broader conservation initiatives, and the challenges of balancing diverse interests within the hunting community. Nick shares insights on the NDA's growth, demographic shifts in membership, and the importance of engaging a wider audience in deer conservation efforts. In this conversation, Nick Pinizzotto discusses the National Deer Association's priorities in wildlife management, the modernization of conservation efforts, and the balance between operational costs and funding for programs. He emphasizes collaboration with other deer organizations, the importance of political advocacy, and engaging hunters in legislative action. Looking to the future, he highlights initiatives aimed at deer management and addressing access issues for hunters, ultimately conveying a positive outlook for the hunting community. Takeaways: The NDA is entering its fifth year since the merger with QDMA. The mission focuses on ensuring the future of wild deer and habitats. The organization is expanding its conservation initiatives beyond deer hunting. Balancing the interests of different types of hunters is challenging but necessary. The NDA has seen significant growth in membership and donor support. Digital outreach has become a key focus for the NDA's communication strategy.

It's the most magical time in the deer woods, the rut! If you're still holding a buck tag you know the best is yet to come in terms of overall deer activity and you're probably overflowing with optimism. Just because it's the rut certainly doesn't guarantee success and there are plenty of things you can do to swing the odds in your favor. While some tactics have been proven effective during this time of year, other factors must be considered if you want to increase your odds for success. In this episode, Nick and The Doctor break down their rut hunting strategies and talk about what has worked best for them over their combined 80 years of deer hunting experience. They cover some of the more expected approaches as well as some you may not have thought of hoping to help you hang your tag on a buck this fall.

Her first bow was fashioned by her father out of a stick and string when she was a child. Now, Jen Delaney can blow out candles and put an arrow through the opening of a spinning wine bottle and does it with flare as she taunts her doubters. Those are just a couple of her many trick shots she pulls off with her traditional archery gear. Her talent combined with a natural ability to entertain has made her the most popular archer on TikTok, and her Freedom and Feathers audience is growing by the day with more than 1.2 million followers. She also has significant followings on Instagram and YouTube. In this episode, Nick and The Doctor talk with Jen about her journey as an archer, and why it's so important to her to pass the sport along to others. They also discuss how to reach broad audiences with a shooting, hunting, and conservation message. A new hunter, Jen talks about her excitement to learn more about the sport and spend more time afield in the coming years. This is a fun show you definitely don't want to miss.

Do we really need more hunters? Even though the answer to that might be an obvious “yes” for most, not everyone agrees largely due to concerns about competition for places to hunt and the ability to acquire tags.

They also discuss NDA's Field to Fork program and the enjoyment and satisfaction that comes from mentoring new hunters.

Swing and a miss! It happens to even the most experienced hunters and skilled shooters and not coming through at the moment of truth at some point in a hunting career is inevitable.

He also shares his pre-shot routine that helps him control adrenaline and improve his chances of hitting the mark. Shawn tells the story of one of his most memorable misses, and how that fateful moment still sticks with him today.

Nick tells the story of his Halloween Eve buck and Mike shares tales of his November doe and buck kills. They guys share the tactics they used that helped them fill their tags while also discussing what they felt they did well, and what they can improve on. They also offer their thoughts about what they're most disappointed about so far, and what they're most optimistic about moving forward.

On this episode of the Iowa Sportsman, Dan talks with the CEO of the National Deer Alliance, Nick Pinizzotto, about Iowa House File 2458 and how it will help manage the spread of CWD in the state of Iowa. "HF 2458 authorizes the Committee on Natural Resources to "establish a wild animal disease management zone and take such actions within the zone as are necessary to protect wild animal health and conserve biological balance." Actions include: establishing special seasons, preventing the artificial movement of wild animals, wild animal carcasses, or parts thereof, and requiring disease sample collection from harvested wild animals. Additionally, a state biologist or conservation officer may "approach a private landowner or tenant to provide information regarding the wild animal disease prevention, containment, and eradication efforts underway in the area." Similarly, a state biologist or conservation officer may approach a landowner to obtain permission to collect wildlife samples from the landowner's property." - Nick PinizzottoFor all of you who think this is a doom and gloom scenario, it's not. This is attempt to gather more data, to learn more about where CWD is in our state, and will allow us to manage it using the necessary steps. Long story short, this is legislation to help keep Iowa deer herds happy and healthy. Iowa Sportsman is Powered by Simplecast

Nick Pinizzotto sat down with recreation manager and certified wildlife biologist Kevin McKinstry to talk about Westervelt's work, as well as why the company feels supporting groups like NDA is so important.
While on a recent hunting trip, NDA president and CEO Nick Pinizzotto talked with Chip West who is the "go to" guy in the state of Delaware when it comes to deer and hunting policy. Chip is a farmer, hunter, and savvy political mind who doesn't mind mixing it up with decision makers when it comes to doing the right thing for deer. We talk about Chip's recent work that led to the state's decision to allow Sunday deer hunting all season long.
In this episode, we talk about the importance of understanding the chronic wasting disease rules when it comes to transporting deer and infectious parts across state lines. NDA president and CEO Nick Pinizzotto uses the example of the buck he shot this season in Ohio, and the steps he took to make sure he was able to bring it to Pennsylvania legally. While the rules are easy to follow, most hunters are either unaware of their responsibilities, or do not go on non-resident hunts with a plan, or property tools to do what is required.

Growing up in a small home in a small rural town set the stage for Nick Pinizzotto and a career as CEO of some of the most recognized sportsman groups in the nation. A love for the outdoors and wildlife seems to be at the root of Nick career path. Nick says even though it seems like we are making decisions based on biological science when it comes to conservation rules and regulations, it's often times more political science operating behind the scenes. Nick's focus these day is with the National Deer Alliance, a young organization who's goal is to alert members of legislative efforts that could affect your hunting rights and privileges, much like the NRA alerts its members about gun laws. And, we get to hear Nick tell a great story about a buck he calls Second Chance.

What is the biggest limiting factor in your career or business? Is it perhaps your own mindset or your belief that big success is only for other people? Join me as Nick Pinizzotto, a passionate bowhunter, explains how he overcame his own "small-town thinking" to become President of the United States Sportsmen's Alliance, a leading organization in the fight to protect our hunting, fishing, trapping, and shooting heritage across the country. ## Guest's Opening Quote: ## "The only thing stopping me quite frankly was my just own mindset, that was for other people. I come from a very small town. We all grew up hunting. and all that, but no one really thinks they will actually be in Outdoor Life Magazine for example. My own limited imagination, I think, was where I wasted some time." ## More About My Guest: ## Nick is the President and CEO of the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance and Foundation. Before coming to USSA, Nick was CEO of Delta Waterfowl Foundation based in Bismarck, North Dakota, and prior to that he served as Associate Vice President at Western Pennsylvania Conservancy for 11 years. Nick also started Apparition Scents, a deer scent company, which he later sold and the company still thrives today. He is originally from Indiana, Pennsylvania and he grew up in an outdoors oriented family. In addition to raising English red-tick coonhounds, he helped his father raise pheasants, quail, chuckars and doves. Nick is a lifelong outdoorsman with particular fondness for bowhunting whitetail deer, but he enjoys all types of hunting and fishing. He is also a published outdoor writer, photographer, videographer, and blogger and he holds a bachelor’s degree in environmental geography and a master’s degree in psychology. Nick considers himself to be an optimist and there is a blog post from October where he wrote about this. "My general optimism as an archery hunter is strikingly similar to the scene in the popular comedy movie Dumb and Dumber where Lloyd is told by his love interest Mary that there’s just a one in a million chance that they could end up together. Lloyd's memorable reply is, 'So you’re saying there’s a chance?' Nick goes on to say - For many of us, that’s all we need to know, is that there’s a chance that something great can happen in the deer woods to get us out there, even if it is slim to none."
