826 - One of the Best Public Land Bowhunters in the Deep South | Tony Myers

Tony Myers is one of the most accomplished public-land bowhunters in the Deep South — and one of the last of a dying breed. Self-taught, with no cameras and no mentor, he's spent a lifetime learning to read the woods and kill mature bucks. In this episode, Tony walks us through how he finds and kills giants on pressured public ground, the old-school way. In this episode: - How Tony taught himself to hunt and learned to never fear getting lost in big woods - The way he breaks down and scouts ground he's never set foot on - Reading sign that actually matters — rubs, rub lines, and why most scrapes are a nighttime story - Using wind and thermals: finding thermal hubs and why he hunts higher - Why a buck becomes a completely different animal once he's past 3½ — and how safety starts running everything - How a mature buck disciplines himself even during the rut - Why big bucks hold at the cover edge like a statue before they ever step out - The truth about trail cameras — why they can't tell you where to hunt, and how mature bucks learn to dodge them - Slipping in and slipping out: how to hunt a buck without ever letting him know he's hunted - Why one mistake turns a mature buck into a survivalist - Hunting break lines and edges instead of the open hardwoods - Tony's closing philosophy: patience, keep it simple, don't overthink it Join our Circle Community here - ⁠https://linkly.link/2o0Sn Grab some Southern Outdoorsmen merch here - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1u4aK Join Woodsman Wire - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1u4aR Use code “SOUTHERN” for a discount on Whitetail Hill food plot seed & trees - https://linkly.link/2myBP Use the promo code “southern” for a discount on your OnX Hunt membership here - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1tyfm Check out Latitude Outdoors for your mobile hunting gear - https://2ly.link/1zVDI Use code TSOP15 for a discount on Mossy Oak - https://linkly.link/2ERb8 Use code SOUTHERN20 for a discount on all Vortex apparel, including eyewear NOTE: Not all advertisements run on this show are endorsed by The Southern Outdoorsmen Podcast unless an ad is read by one of the hosts.
