169 NICK PINIZZOTTO - The National Deer Alliance and a Buck Named Second Chance

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.
