Listen "Inside the NDA: Deer Health, Habitat, and Hard Truths with Kip Adams"
Episode Synopsis
In episode 4 of the Inside the NDA on the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by Kip Adams of the National Deer Association for an important conversation on some of the biggest issues facing Pennsylvania hunters today. We cover the growing challenge of chronic wasting disease (CWD) and why testing, awareness, and smart prevention efforts are so critical for protecting our herds. Kip explains why CWD is such a serious threat—100% fatal to deer—and outlines how hunters, wildlife agencies, and the NDA are working together to manage and slow its spread.We also dive into opportunities and responsibilities for hunters, from the new Sunday hunting opportunities in Pennsylvania to the importance of increasing the harvest of antlerless deer for better herd balance. Kip highlights how habitat management, collaboration, and community engagement play a vital role in keeping deer populations healthy for the future. Whether it’s understanding the risks of moving high-risk deer parts, improving local habitat, or simply getting involved with NDA programs, this episode gives hunters the tools and knowledge to make a real impact.So, grab your gear, sit back, and join us on this episode as we Antler Up!www.antlerupoutdoors.comwww.tethrdnation.comwww.huntworthgear.comwww.sportsmensempire.comhttps://deerassociation.com/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
