March 28, 2024 09:00 - 55 minutes - 50.6 MB

Hiring the right land and wildlife consultant can make a monumental impact on your property. But if you make a bad hire, you may end up with detrimental ideas and waste of funds. There is quite a bit of parody in the space and you should do your homework to secure the right fit for your specific needs. Who has real experience in your region and who is simply regurgitating buzz words from social media.   Should you hire a national consultant or stay localized? Land, just like any form of rea...

Why the Southern Rut is SO WEIRD!!! w Lindsay Thomas Jr.

December 21, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 55 MB

Across most of the whitetail's range, a November rut is the norm. This is because historical climate conditions dictate that fawns must be born during a specific window in order to survive. But across much of the south, this isn't so. In fact, depending on where you are, you might see whitetails breeding during any month of the year! What has created such strange rut timing in the southern US? In this episode of the Southern Way Hunting Podcast, host Josh Raley talks with Lindsay Thomas Jr....

November 30, 2023 10:00 - 24 minutes - 22.1 MB

In this episode of the Southern Way Hunting Podcast, Josh is flying solo to talk about a strategy he's found to be highly effective on pressured ground: hunting pressure funnels.  This strategy isn't flashy, takes a lot of legwork, and depends on lots of hunting pressure. But it sure seems to work! In fact, this has been Josh's primary strategy over the last four seasons, and his encounters with mature bucks have skyrocketed. Tune in to hear how he puts this simple but not easy strategy to ...

Are Feed Trees Overrated for Killing Top End Bucks?

November 02, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 55.6 MB

Hunting feed trees. If you hunt in the south, chances are you've tried your hand at the tried and true tactic for getting on deer. And chances are you've been disappointed with some of your results. While hunting feed trees can be very productive for getting on deer, it's not always the best method for getting on the top end bucks in your area.

The Science Behind Concealment

October 26, 2023 09:00 - 52 minutes - 47.9 MB

Does your camo pattern REALLY matter? The old timers were killing deer in blue jeans. Tons of deer have fallen to the cheapest thing on the shelf at Wally World or hand-me-down faded out Mossy Oak. Guys in the north rock red and black plaid against the snow white backdrop. So it stands to reason that camo is overrated, right? Right?! While camo doesn't kill deer and isn't essential for being a successful hunter, quality camo CAN keep you concealed and comfortable, meaning more hours in the ...

October 12, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 65.5 MB

Ever feel like you're just behind the action? Like you're always just a few days behind, hunting last weekend's sign when the deer seem to have moved on? Or maybe you've fallen into the trap of following trail camera photos from this year and you're often too late to the party? Situations like these are why many hunters are beginning to rely more and more on historical data. Using historical data to tracks certain bucks' seasonal patterns or when certain areas seem to switch on every season ...

Situational Tactics for Pressured Early Season Bucks with Josh Honeycutt

October 05, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 62.7 MB

For many, deer season has been in for a couple of weeks and that means one thing: the deer know they're being hunted. It doesn't take long for those bucks that were consistent all summer in our food plots or feeders to pattern us and shift their behavior. Combine this with fresh acorns on the ground and you've got a recipe for a hunting strategy disaster. Unless you adapt, that is.  In this episode of the Southern Way Hunting Podcast, Josh talks with outdoor writer Josh Honeycutt about adap...

Killing Big Bucks Where it's ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE with Swamp N Stomp

September 21, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 81.1 MB

When you dream of hunting big bucks, saw grass and palm trees probably don't come to mind. But that's  the backdrop for a crew of die hard deer hunters taking big bucks in South Florida known as Swamp N Stomp. As you can see from their videos, hunting South Florida is a challenge unlike anything else a whitetail hunter can do. If the 100° temps don't get you, the alligators, snakes and other critters that would love to eat you just might. But Florida also offers whitetail hunters a ton of gr...

This week on Southern Ground Hunting, we're diving deeper into post season scouting/shed hunting with a fella that just flat out knows mature whitetail bucks.

Parker is joined by Ricky Bullard & Spencer Ford to talk about their processes to finding public land bucks in Florida every year.

February 16, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 74.1 MB

If you've listened to the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast this year, the theme of the recently concluded whitetail season has been along the lines of: "It's just been tough", or "We just weren't seeing much of a rut this year".

February 02, 2023 10:00 - 51 minutes - 47.6 MB

This week on the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast, we're talking to Jake Lishen about how to make a game plan on southern public land bucks when deer are entering into the post rut phase. For many of us, it's easy to decide to hunt deer like it's the rut when you're within a few weeks of the peak. Especially when you're on an out of state hunt. What Jake talks about is how him and his buddies analyzed the sign on their trip to Alabama, determined it was in fact later than peak rut in that are...

January 19, 2023 10:00 - 48 minutes - 44.7 MB

This week on the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast, we're talking about hunting southern bucks in the swamps. Parker was able to tag his 3rd and final Alabama buck of the year in south Alabama, but the cool thing was being able to piece together some consistencies in swamp habitat that led to finding and taking this buck. Southern swamps are a little bit different than what folks might experience in the midwest or northern US. River cane, palmettos, water oaks & big cypress stands are the norm...
