The Southern Outdoorsmen Hunting Podcast

Clay Harper is a DIY traveling hunter who's turned breaking down brand-new ground into a system. He picks a state, a season, and a "theme" long before he ever sets foot on the property, then kills mature bucks on public land across the country. In this one, we get into his early-season playbook: how he reads unfamiliar woods fast, why he hunts the mid-morning window nobody else does, and the mindset shift that's put more bucks on the ground for him than any single tactic.In this episode:- Why mature bucks get up and move mid-morning in the early season — and the mineral craving behind it- The "theme of the hunt" framework: deciding what you're hunting before you ever open a map- Overcoming the objection — the sales-mindset question Clay asks himself before every hunt- Reading a brand-new property from the food back to the bed using rub lines- How to speed-scout unfamiliar ground and pick spots that set up in your favor- Why big deer often hold close to access — and you don't have to hike miles deep- Using a decoy and rattling to pull cruising bucks off the ridgetops out West- Why he kills more deer on the ground than out of a treestandJoin our Circle Community here - ⁠https://linkly.link/2o0SnGrab some Southern Outdoorsmen merch here - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1u4aKJoin Woodsman Wire - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1u4aRUse code “SOUTHERN” for a discount on Whitetail Hill food plot seed & trees - https://linkly.link/2myBPUse the promo code “southern” for a discount on your OnX Hunt membership here - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1tyfmCheck out Latitude Outdoors for your mobile hunting gear - https://2ly.link/1zVDIUse code TSOP15 for a discount on Mossy Oak - https://linkly.link/2ERb8Use code SOUTHERN20 for a discount on all Vortex apparel, including eyewearNOTE: Not all advertisements run on this show are endorsed by The Southern Outdoorsmen Podcast unless an ad is read by one of the hosts. Our Sponsors:* Check out MyBookie and use my code SOUTHERNOUTDOORSMEN for a great deal: https://www.mybookie.ag* Check out Omaha Steaks and use our code BEEF for a great deal: https://www.omahasteaks.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use our code SOUTHERNOUTDOORSMEN for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Archery seasons are opening soon across the country, and early-season success comes down to one thing: acorns. Ben Davis of central Alabama joins us to break down his complete early-season feed tree blueprint — how to find the oaks that are actually hot, the overlooked sign that tells you a tree is about to fire before the deer even pattern it, and how to hunt it without blowing it out. It's a wide-open early-season how-to for every deer hunter, then a deep, technical dive into traditional bow hunting for those who want to take it all the way.In this episode:How deer feeding on green acorns tells you a tree is 1–2 weeks from getting hotThe oak-drop calendar — chestnut/mountain oaks, then white oaks, then red and water oaks late seasonReading feed sign — busted hulls, fresh droppings, and ground disturbance under a hot treeWhy your first sit on a fresh tree is almost always your best oneScouting before rain to erase your intrusion and get a free passLate-morning feed tree kills — and why wind gets deer on their feetCreek crossings, entry and exit, and the water-scent problem that wrecks slam-dunk setupsIsolated oaks vs. stands of oaks, and getting tight to bedding coverGetting into traditional archery without getting over-bowed — form and instinctive shootingBare-shaft tuning, arrow spine, weight-forward setups, and picking a broadheadSharpening fixed-blade heads and getting a true burrThe story of a mature Alabama buck taken with a recurve — and the recovery that almost didn't happenPlus mentors, hard-earned lessons, and why he'd rather hunt sign than stare at a trail cameraCheck out Ben's latest video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRl90uaCoo0Looking for land in Alabama's Black Belt region?

Can a mature buck actually recognize your treestand, your climber, or your trail cameras? Andrew opens this one with a story about the biggest buck he'd ever seen in bow range — a buck that stepped out, locked onto the base of the tree he was sitting in, and eased off without a sound. It never saw him. It never smelled him. So what gave him away?From there, Andrew and Jacob work through a stack of your questions from Circle and the website. Classic Thursday Q&A — straight from you guys.In this episode:Do deer recognize your treestand & trail cameras?The buck that busted Andrew's climber — and what gave him awayShooting houses, box blinds & the black-window trickWhy you're giving mature bucks too many chances to learn youWill a mature buck abandon his home range under pressure?The good bucks you never knew were on your propertyCould you actually pressure a buck out of his core?Do deer relocate, or just shut down and go thick?You jumped your target buck scouting — now what?Scouting in August & September on familiar groundFinding a bachelor group in a cool creek bottomAre you putting your trail cameras in the wrong spots?Cameras on feed trees: before or after they drop?Has extreme mobile hunting saved more bucks than it's killed?The Who / Where / When of killing a specific buckDo bucks bed in the same spot year after year?Thermals, wind & hunting tight to waterIs killing a mature buck more luck or skill?Mast crop reportJoin our Circle Community here - ⁠https://linkly.link/2o0SnGrab some Southern Outdoorsmen merch here - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1u4aKJoin Woodsman Wire - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1u4aRUse code “SOUTHERN” for a discount on Whitetail Hill food plot seed & trees - https://linkly.link/2myBPUse the promo code “southern” for a discount on your OnX Hunt membership here - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1tyfmCheck out Latitude Outdoors for your mobile hunting gear - https://2ly.link/1zVDIUse code TSOP15 for a discount on Mossy Oak - https://linkly.link/2ERb8Use code SOUTHERN20 for a discount on all Vortex apparel, including eyewearHave you tagged a deer using something you heard on the show?

Eddie McRae has bowhunted the same Georgia farms for 40 years — and he says he hasn't been smelled by a deer in nearly a decade. No ozone units, no expensive sprays. Just a scent system he runs 365 days a year and a theory that most deer don't even know what a human smells like anymore.In this episode of The Southern Outdoorsmen, Eddie (of Riverman Custom Calls) breaks down the self-taught, low-pressure approach that's put six mature bucks on the wall in the last four years. We cover deer this time - turkey's coming in a follow-up.What we get into:How Eddie taught himself to hunt with no mentor, and why he switched from gun to bow in the late '80sThe bow record he almost can't explain — hundreds of deer, and his take on staying calm at full drawPaper tuning, shooting at 60–80 yards, and building form you can repeat 100% of the timeHis arrow setup: 200 grains up front, high FOC, and why he thinks ultra-heavy arrows are a mistakeThe scent system in full — unscented everything, baking-soda washes, clothes that never enter the house, dog fennel cover scent, and the e-bikeWhy he believes deer have stopped recognizing "clean" human scent altogetherThe UV/detergent glow rabbit hole — the glove that busted him, the black-light test, and Dr. Karl Miller's UGA deer-vision workThe four kinds of deer (wild, suburban, managed, public) and why behavior — not bait — drives everythingHunting a 400-acre farm like a sanctuary by doing the exact opposite of pressured neighborsWhy mature bucks lock into tiny core areas — the 11-acre buck that never showed on another cameraCutting a ground blind into the nastiest cover on the property, and building a staging spot to kill a blown-out buckHunting major weather swings and "hunting from the sofa" until a deer tells you it's timeThe get-in-get-it-done-get-out access philosophy (h/t Bobby Worthington)Eddie's most controversial take: why he doesn't believe the South has a definitive rut, and the fawn-drop evidence behind itCheck out Eddie's calls:Riverman Custom Calls — https://rivermancustoms.com/Join our Circle Community here - ⁠https://linkly.link/2o0SnGrab some Southern Outdoorsmen merch here - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1u4aKJoin Woodsman Wire - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1u4aRUse code “SOUTHERN” for a discount on Whitetail Hill food plot seed & trees - https://linkly.link/2myBPUse the promo code “southern” for a discount on your OnX Hunt membership here - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1tyfmCheck out Latitude Outdoors for your mobile hunting gear - https://2ly.link/1zVDIUse code TSOP15 for a discount on Mossy Oak - https://linkly.link/2ERb8Use code SOUTHERN20 for a discount on all Vortex apparel, including eyewearHave you tagged a deer using something you heard on the show?

Is a National Forest really the best place to find a mature public-land buck? In this Q&A episode, Andrew and Jacob debate whether National Forests or Wildlife Management Areas consistently produce the biggest deer, discuss how hunting pressure shapes age structure, and tackle several listener hot takes covering roadbed hunting, scent control, hunting shows, antler growth, and more.Topics discussed:- National Forest vs. WMA for mature bucks- What creates big-buck public land- Roadbed & right-of-way hunting debate- Hunting club vs. public land pressure- Timing vs. scent control- Can hunting shows teach new hunters?- Summer antler growth update- Rubs vs. scrapes- Mobile Hunters Expo & Circle updatesJoin our Circle Community here - ⁠https://linkly.link/2o0SnGrab some Southern Outdoorsmen merch here - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1u4aKJoin Woodsman Wire - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1u4aRUse code “SOUTHERN” for a discount on Whitetail Hill food plot seed & trees - https://linkly.link/2myBPUse the promo code “southern” for a discount on your OnX Hunt membership here - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1tyfmCheck out Latitude Outdoors for your mobile hunting gear - https://2ly.link/1zVDIUse code TSOP15 for a discount on Mossy Oak - https://linkly.link/2ERb8Use code SOUTHERN20 for a discount on all Vortex apparel, including eyewearOur Sponsors:* Check out MyBookie and use my code SOUTHERNOUTDOORSMEN for a great deal: https://www.mybookie.ag* Check out Omaha Steaks and use our code BEEF for a great deal: https://www.omahasteaks.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use our code SOUTHERNOUTDOORSMEN for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Chuck Bailey (Old Timer Outdoors) has killed dang near every deer on his wall while standing on his own two feet — not from a box stand, not over a corn pile. In this episode, the Louisiana woodsman breaks down the on-the-ground hunting skills most of us have forgotten, why the easy way is quietly making us worse hunters, and a few old-timer scent tricks you've probably never heard of.In this episode:- Why Chuck refuses to hunt from a box stand — and how "devolving" back to hunting on foot teaches you more about deer than any feeder ever will- The forgotten woodsmanship of reading the woods: squirrels, blue jays, dropping acorns, and the little signs that tell you where deer actually are- Slip hunting a square mile until you know it cold — Chuck's approach to learning ground and killing bucks on the move- The contrarian scent trick: using human hair from the barbershop (and mothballs) to steer deer with the wind and push them right where you want them- Team drives and working the draws — how Chuck and his crew run deer from one green head to the next- How the timber cutter-head machine and the loss of woods burning reshaped the habitat — and what it did to deer and turkey- The bent-sight bow story — three arrows, one very confused deer- Chuck's single best piece of advice: for every day you hunt the corn pile, force yourself to spend one day walking and looking insteadChuck Bailey — Old Timer Outdoors:https://www.tiktok.com/@oldtimeroutdoorsJoin our Circle Community here - ⁠https://linkly.link/2o0SnGrab some Southern Outdoorsmen merch here - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1u4aKJoin Woodsman Wire - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1u4aRUse code “SOUTHERN” for a discount on Whitetail Hill food plot seed & trees - https://linkly.link/2myBPUse the promo code “southern” for a discount on your OnX Hunt membership here - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1tyfmCheck out Latitude Outdoors for your mobile hunting gear - https://2ly.link/1zVDIUse code TSOP15 for a discount on Mossy Oak - https://linkly.link/2ERb8Use code SOUTHERN20 for a discount on all Vortex apparel, including eyewearOur Sponsors:* Check out MyBookie and use my code SOUTHERNOUTDOORSMEN for a great deal: https://www.mybookie.ag* Check out Omaha Steaks and use our code BEEF for a great deal: https://www.omahasteaks.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use our code SOUTHERNOUTDOORSMEN for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Wes Moye is back in the studio, and this time we're breaking down the "Wolf Pack" - the group hunting system he's spent 40 years refining to kill mature, pressured bucks that get bumped by all the other hunters in the woods. Instead of hiding his scent like everyone's taught, Wes weaponizes it. Here's the full breakdown, plus a whole lot of hard-earned wisdom (and a few stories that'll make you laugh).In this episode:The Wolf Pack method explained — how a group uses human scent (not leg power) to move pressured bucks toward waiting huntersWhere the idea came from — the African painted wolves documentary that made it all clickWhy it's NOT a "man drive" — and how Wes answers the criticsReading pressured deer — why you should treat every deer like it's already been huntedFinding the exits — low spots, drainages, and cover that funnel bucks out of thick coverDeer pattern hunters — Wes's camera experiment proving it, and how he flips it to kill target bucksThe Art of War in the deer woods — deception, feints, and beating a buck at his own gameHunting thick cover — why the nastiest bedding areas hold the biggest bucksKnowledge vs. wisdom — why applied experience beats anything you'll read or watchTiming the rut in Alabama and adapting your setup through every phase of the seasonRunning Wolf Pack fundamentals solo when you don't have a groupPlus camp stories, hard lessons, and why the bad days teach you the mostJoin our Circle Community here - ⁠https://linkly.link/2o0SnGrab some Southern Outdoorsmen merch here - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1u4aKJoin Woodsman Wire - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1u4aRUse code “SOUTHERN” for a discount on Whitetail Hill food plot seed & trees - https://linkly.link/2myBPUse the promo code “southern” for a discount on your OnX Hunt membership here - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1tyfmCheck out Latitude Outdoors for your mobile hunting gear - https://2ly.link/1zVDIUse code TSOP15 for a discount on Mossy Oak - https://linkly.link/2ERb8Use code SOUTHERN20 for a discount on all Vortex apparel, including eyewearHave you tagged a deer using something you heard on the show?

Today, Chris Jones of South Carolina joins us to discuss what it really takes to consistently find mature whitetails on public land.

What actually creates bigger bucks? Is it genetics, nutrition, habitat, or something else entirely?In this episode, National Deer Association’s Lindsay Thomas Jr. separates decades of deer research from hunting folklore. We dive into the biggest myths surrounding deer management, aging bucks on the hoof, habitat improvement, feral hogs, and the science that has fundamentally changed how we understand whitetails. If you’re serious about becoming a better deer hunter or land manager, this episode is packed with practical, research-backed information you can apply immediately.Topics discussed:Why genetics matter far less than most hunters thinkThe Mississippi State study that changed how we view big bucksHow to accurately age bucks on the hoofCommon mistakes hunters make when managing deerWhy cull buck programs don’t improve geneticsThe truth about nutrition, habitat, and antler growthHow to improve a property—even if it’s smallFood plots vs. timber management: where to invest your effortHow hunting pressure influences mature buck movementThe four biggest factors that actually affect deer movementWhy feral hogs are so damaging to deer and turkey populationsWhy trapping is far more effective than simply shooting hogsHow to work with neighbors to improve deer quality across a landscapeLessons from over two decades of deer research and managementJoin our Circle Community here - ⁠https://the-southern-outdoorsmen.circle.so/checkout/join-the-community⁠Our Sponsors:* Check out MyBookie and use my code SOUTHERNOUTDOORSMEN for a great deal: https://www.mybookie.ag* Check out Omaha Steaks and use our code BEEF for a great deal: https://www.omahasteaks.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use our code SOUTHERNOUTDOORSMEN for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
