Southern Ground | GoWild with Brad Luttrell

May 18, 2018 03:00 - 1 hour - 70.9 MB

This week we are talking to Kentucky native, Brad Luttrell, about a new social media platform he has designed for outdoorsmen, GoWild. Brad is a passionate entrepreneur, die hard outdoorsmen, and a genius behind the grill. The majority of our conversation is focused on Go Wild, but when Brad starts talking about cooking wild game, it’s tough to get him to stop! It’s also good to have Blake back from his paternity leave. We have definitely missed having him and his southern twang, and I may ...

Southern Ground | Public Land Spring Scouting with Michael Pike

May 04, 2018 02:40 - 1 hour - 80.8 MB

Thank you for tuning into the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast. This week, we’re diving straight into spring scouting on public land with my good friend, Michael Pike. With the lack of agriculture in the south, it can be difficult to pinpoint where these whitetails live, especially on high pressured public land. Michael tells us how he has been able to use terrain and natural food sources to figure out where these big bucks are hanging out in the spring. Topics discussed: bedding, natural br...

Southern Ground | All About OnX Maps

April 20, 2018 02:32 - 1 hour - 68.6 MB

This week’s episode is a little bit different than our normal show because we got the opportunity to talk to two different people. First, we talk to Dylan Dowson from OnX Hunt. Dylan gave us an overhead view (pun intended) of what exactly OnX is and how this mapping system can be used to give us a great advantage in the woods. If you’re not an OnX user yet, I bet this convo will get you closer to making the plunge. We also talked to Chris Rice, a fellow southern whitetail hunter, about how ...

Southern Ground | Public Land Turkey Hunting with The Hunting Public

April 06, 2018 02:25 - 1 hour - 63.8 MB

This week we are thrilled to get to talk to the guys over at The Hunting Public while they were down in Alabama in search of public land turkeys. Aaron, Zach & Brody (aka Corndog) talked with us about some of the tactics they used, and what ultimately led to success on their first stop of Turkey Tour 2018. We definitely talked strategy, but we’re no strangers to just sitting around and shootin’ the bull! There’s no shortage of that in this episode. This is also a huge episode for us because...

If you want to learn the basics of hunting with this ultimate mobile setup, take a listen! Southern Ground Hunting has re...

Southern Ground | Woodrow The Blood Tracking Dog & Traditional Archery with Ammon McKinney

This week we’re talking with Alabama native & traditional archery hunter, Ammon McKinney. We discussed his best season ever that consisted of a dwarf buck he harvested named “Odd Job”, but the focus of our conversation was his legendary tracking dog, Woodrow. Ammon talks with us about how Woodrow became the tracking machine that he is today, and what he believes were the most important factors in his success. Ammon was also kind enough to recommend several different blood trailing resources...

Southern Ground | #PublicLandOwner with Edward Cook

February 22, 2018 02:18 - 1 hour - 59.8 MB

Whoever has said the South doesn’t have big deer have obviously not spoken to our new friend, Edward Cook. Not only is this guy just a giant slayer, he also does it on public land. We focus on a specific giant buck that Edward harvested on a special draw WMA hunt, but we also talk about opportunities all over the South that hunters have to chase big bucks on public land through these special draw permits. Aside from this episode being rich in information, Edward is also just a fun guy to li...

Southern Ground | The Hunting Club with Blake Echols

February 09, 2018 03:24 - 1 hour - 62.6 MB

On today’s episode, we get to talk to Blake Echols about how he had a true weekend to remember while chasing late season Alabama whitetails on a hunting club he got to hunt as a guest. As you’ll hear, Blake is one of the most sincere guys around and truly deserved this more than anyone I’ve ever met. I’m so confident that you are going to like Blake that I have brought him on the Southern Ground team as a co-host to the show. So plan on hearing a lot more from Blake in the future. We also h...
