541 - LATE SEASON Hunting in Pine Country, How to E-Scout with Slope Angle Shading, Going from Big Woods to Pine Thickets

Your go-to Deer Hunting Podcast! The Southern Outdoorsmen is a show dedicated to diving deep on the topics that will make you a better hunter. We interview guys who are the "real deal", the best hometown deer hunters across the country - the guys who have consistent success deer hunting the same public lands, leases, hunting clubs, or family farms as everyone else. Every Monday we post an episode with fresh tips, tactics and strategies to give you an edge in the woods this fall.

Wilderness

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.
