February 02, 2023 10:00 - 51 minutes - 47.6 MBThis 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...

SWAMP BUCK DOWN! Hunting Public Land Bucks In Southern Swamps
January 19, 2023 10:00 - 48 minutes - 44.7 MBThis 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...

SGH Fantasy Hunting Draft
December 01, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 77.3 MBLet's say you've got 4 days on an undisclosed property. It could possibly be anywhere in the country. You can take any 3 hunters with you and the objective is for you to kill a mature buck. Who are you picking? While it's highly unlikely we'd ever find ourselves in this predicament, we thought it'd be fun! Think Fantasy Football Draft, but with deer hunters. For some of us Alabama folks, it's the rut and we're tired. Sometimes it's fun to get your mind off tactics for a week and just have ...

BIG BUCKS On A Small Property - Randall McDonald's East Texas Giant
November 10, 2022 10:00 - 53 minutes - 49.3 MBNovember has been pretty uneventful here in SGH land. Matt's not been hunting much, Parker's been dealing with other junk like the flu and kidney stones.

Randall McDonald has been on the show before, talking about the challenges of hunting his small East Texas property. For years he's tried to find the right way to hunt it, nearly to no avail.

Finding Early Season Rubs WILL Increase Buck Encounters
September 29, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 55.6 MBThis week on the Southern Ground Hunting podcast we're talking about how to increase your chances for having early season buck encounters. We've heard plenty of guests, like Warren Womack, talk about finding hot feed trees. While that's still important for finding deer in general, it doesn't always result in finding bucks. What we've found is the hot feed tree that is secluded in a thick area can often be the first available food source inside a buck's core area. How do you know if it is? RU...

Kentucky Early Season Hunting Tactic: HUNT DUMB
September 15, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 60.2 MBWe always talk about pretty analytical hunting tactics on the Southern Ground Hunting podcast. After all, we live in the deep south.

July 21, 2022 09:00 - 54 minutes - 49.8 MBThis week on the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast, the boys are discussing this question: "If you could teach a new hunter one skill, what would it be?"

We know many new hunters have had that question, and we wanted to take this episode to discuss what we consider the most important skills to our hunting lifestyle. Reading buck sign, w...

Hunting Over Corn To Kill The Biggest Buck On Your Property with Tanner Edenfield
June 09, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 69.7 MBOn the Southern Ground Hunting podcast, we try to be advocates of all legal means of hunting. While we may prefer another method, we celebrate all legal and ethical forms of hunting. One huge topic that relates to many hunters in the South is hunting over bait.

Redneck Jeopardy
June 02, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 77.9 MBThis week on the Southern Ground Hunting podcast, we're changing things up a little bit. The guys all get together for a friendly game of "Redneck Jeopardy". However, it's really nothing like Jeopardy at all. In this game each player brings a list of 3 random scenarios. All scenarios go into a hat and when it's the players turn, they draw a number and are given a hunting scenario. The player must then share how they would hunt the given scenario. This episode covers a wide range of topics l...

Texas Desert Turkey Hunting
May 05, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 71.3 MBThe Southern Ground Hunting podcast heads west this week. Parker and his Dad recap a successful turkey hunt to the desert of west Texas. While we're usually talking about hunting turkeys on public land, most people know that it's nearly not even doable to do so in Texas.

However, we were able to find a couple of different properties to hunt for $0 by just making a few phone calls...

Is Social Media Really Ruining Public Land Turkey Hunting?
April 08, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 70.1 MBWe're going deep this week on the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast as we discuss the elephant in the room. The question "Is social media really ruining public land hunting?"

Our guest, Joey Bell, talks about his home state of Tennessee and some of the issues he believes have aff...

Doing Whatever It Takes To Kill The Gobbler
March 17, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 60.7 MBThanks for choosing to listen to the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast. These days, it seems that hunters can not see eye to eye on just about anything. Turkey hunters may be the worst when it comes to arguing about the method of hunting wild turkeys. One guy shoots his TSS loads at 50, while another guy thinks that if the bird doesn't come in to 20 yards then the bird won. You've got people who think decoys are cheating, and others who wouldn't step foot into the woods without one. The argume...

Mountain Food Plots, Topography & Mature Buck Behavior with David Miller
February 24, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 86.3 MBThis week on Southern Ground Hunting we're talking with David Miller of West Virginia. We don't get the opportunity to talk about land management too often. Public land hunting really doesn't give a hunter the opportunity to do much in terms of land management. However, this week we're changing it up and covering David Miller's strategies for whitetail land management in mountain country. The southeast is scattered with hills and hollers, with parts of Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and North...
Fireside Chat - Making Your Shot Count On Big Bucks
February 17, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 60.5 MBThis week's fireside chat topic is brought to us from Matt Reaves. "What are we doing to make sure we can capitalize in the moment of truth?"

As these chats normally do, this one takes a turn from shot process to eating deer nuts... and other odd things that can be eaten from a game animal. We like having fun and this was definitely a fun conversation! Become a...
Precision Trail Camera Placement For Mature Bucks - Jordan Pope
February 10, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 77.8 MBThis isn't your everyday trail camera conversation. If you're a deer hunter, chances are you own one or several trail cams. If we're being honest most hunters really don't know how to use them effectively. Sure, you may get a picture of a big buck occasionally, but is it really teaching you anything other than the fact that he's in the area? This week we're joined by Jordan Pope who recently killed an 8.5 year old public land stud in Alabama. Jordan talks about how began narrowing down this ...
Fireside Chat (Without An Actual Fire)
February 04, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 67.6 MBAs deer season comes to a close in most states, Parker, Drew & Adam decide to discuss some of the season highlights... and low points. This is a fireside type convo with no real agenda, but the guys do chase a few rabbit trails. Drew tells us the story of his "urban" hunt that is so Alabama it hurts. Absolutely hilarious! Adam talks about his big archery buck from the season in Tennessee where he fully utilized trail cameras as a part of strategy. It's sad that the season is over, but we're...
