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.

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.

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.

Why Hunters Should Be Shooting More Deer with Kip Adams

NDA"s Coffee and Deer ·

2024/05/15

Most hunters might find it hard to believe that only 41% of licensed deer hunters harvest just one deer. Equally surprising is only 17% of hunters kill more than one deer. You can find these statistics and many more in the NDA 2024 Deer Report, which you can download for free. Not taking enough antlerless deer off the landscape is becoming an increasing problem in many areas of the country, so we invited Kip Adams, NDA’s Chief Conservation Officer, to be a guest on the show to explain the issue.
