The Southern Outdoorsmen Hunting Podcast The Southern Outdoorsmen

Kelsey Moss has tagged a 5.5+ year old buck 6 years in a row with archery equipment! In this video, he shares his thoughts on locating secluded cover, finding those older bucks that know how to avoid everyone else, and combining feed tree and calling tactics to give yourself the highest odds possible. Subjects include:
- Secluded cover vs hard to access cover
- Getting close to a buck's bedroom
- Pushing the envelope
- Combining pinch points and feed trees
- Faint buck trails
- Using calling around feed trees

In this video we cover how you can BACKDATE bucks wherever you hunt, with or without history with the place you are hunting! We cover Daniel William's take on it (as discussed in EP 584) as well as our own experience with the tactic. Subjects include:

Using a hunting clubs pin out board/log book to backdate bucks

Our look at some trail cam data to narrow down the best dates to target mature bucks

Finding out EXACTLY when the rut is in your area, down to the best 3 days

Scrapes vs signpost rubs


and more! We also cover some listener Q&A submissions. Our listener questions were:

What to do when you are seeing deer, but they are always too far away

How to place trail cams to catch the bucks swinging DOWNWIND of scrapes, rather than visiting the scrape

We have been VERY excited to get this episode out to y'all! This week we are talking with Daniel Williams about using annual patterns to precisely predict mature buck movement patterns. Daniel has perfected this tactic over many years and has used it to tag mature bucks in areas where other hunters struggle! The best part about this tactic is that you probably already have everything you need to start using it. Subjects:

Understanding that mature bucks' daylighting is NOT random

Utilizing trail cam data & in-person observations to find the EXACT dates you need to hunt an area

Why the wind is now meaningless to Daniel

Killing a mature buck in an area you'd NEVER expect based on sign

Scouting to find a mature buck's "loop"

Finding where the home ranges of multiple bucks intersect

Building a "hunt calendar" to know EXACTLY where to hunt and when

Taking the guesswork out of stand locations

Why you need to pay extra-close attention to historical rubs

How pressure can move the deer sign away from where it "should be"

We are getting back to Q&A submissions this week! After a ~30 minute discussion on Monday's tactic talk and discussions on some proposed hunting regulation changes we hit some listener Q&A's. We answer the following -

Have we used Troy Pottenger's scrape tactics from EP 176, and has it worked?

Access through where the deer are, or where they are going to be? (This relates to one of the BEST things you can do NOW to prep for this fall)

How do you determine when you need to take does off a property?


We also announce our blaze orange hat giveaway winner! Thanks to everyone for the reviews on Apple Podcasts. Also, don't forget our HUNTER'S HANGOUT meeting on Patreon is TONIGHT! We host meetings every other Thursday for our Patreon members where we all hop on a video call and talk hunting!

The Dilla is back! On this episode, we are joined by our good buddy Michael Pike, known to many as "the Dilla" (short for armadillo, because he has turned over every leaf in Alabama looking for big bucks!). We catch up with him on his awesome 2023 season where he tagged out in AL with 3 great bucks, two of which were big 10 points - all on public. Subjects include:

How Michael got severely burned out on deer hunting & then got back into it

The intangible aspect of being good at deer hunting

Why your tactics haven't been working

Listening to the woods (literally) to find deer

Building upon each hunt to increase your odds every time

The best way to plan out-of-state hunts

The camaraderie of having hunting buddies, and how it makes you hunt better


and tons more! It was great catching up and we are sure the dilla will be back on the show throughout the year.

We have a great episode for our last turkey podcast of 2024! Andrew was able to tag another longbeard on his club, meanwhile, Jacob's brother Thomas was able to tag out on public! We relive all the hunts on this episode and talked about what made each one successful!
