Welcome to the Southern Ground Hunting podcast. Matthew Reaves of Southern Pursuit is hopping on to discuss rut hunting tactics for southern public land bucks. The topic of the conversation is thermal hubs and how productive they can be if hunted correctly.
Matthew and Parker both share stories of their recent successful hunts on thermal hubs, both describing how they set up and how the bucks presented a shot. Thermal hubs can be one of the most difficult terrain features to hunt effectively. Wind and thermals tend to be tough to understand, especially in these "magic holes" as Matthew calls them. The guys go over, in detail, how the hunts played out, and why they think they were able to put bucks on the ground.

It's kind of a variety show today on the Southern Ground Hunting podcast. We're talking to Lane Housner about mountain hunting, sika deer in Maryland, and how he's set his life up to be a hardcore public land deer hunter. Lane could be described in one word, consistent. Every year he seems to be incredibly successful in his pursuit of whitetails in high pressure hunting situations. In this episode we're talking all about his strategy in the woods to maintain his consistency. You can watch all of Lane's hunts, along with his group of buddies, on the "In The Presence" YouTube channel.

Us southern fellers like to wear a chip on our shoulder when it comes to deer hunting. You've probably heard, "If you can kill a buck in ______, you can kill one anywhere". Well sometimes you just need a big ol slice of humble pie, and that's what we got!
Scooter Barnwell of South Carolina joins the show this week to recap the recent trip to Kentucky to hunt big woods bucks in the pre-rut. Out of about 15 guys in camp, not one tag was filled. We're talking about a camp that has some of the best public land whitetail hunters we know. It was a huge struggle! However, Scooter was in the top percentage of hunters in camp in his buck encounters. We just wanted to pick his brain on how he was breaking down areas during a time when bucks just aren't as daylight active as they will be the first week of November. We talk about big sign (scrapes and rubs), how deer used the topography, and what food sources they seemed to be keyed in on.
Ultimately we came back licking our wounds, but what good would it do us to not try to learn something while we were there?

This week on SGH we're talking with Land Smathers from Mississippi. Land is a very successful public land hunter and rarely ever leaves the ground to do it. Hunting from the ground has some challenges that we hope Land can help us overcome, however, he also talks about the many benefits that you get from not hunting from an elevated position.
We get it. Sometimes being elevated is necessary. We're die hard saddle hunters and will not be changing that aspect in the near future, but when you open up to the possibility of hunting without carrying in all of the gear associated with climbing...well you've walked into the apex of mobile hunting. As Land mentions, ground hunting is a "tale as old as time". From the dawn of creation, hunters have been killing animals without being in a tree. Hopefully this episode will broaden your horizon and open up new realms of possibilities for getting on public land bucks wherever you may be.

On the Southern Ground Hunting podcast we really want to be an example of applying tactics that we have heard from our guests and sharing the outcomes. This season will be no different. We're going to be bi-weekly sharing our experiences in the woods through February, largely based on the things we have talked to our guests about. This week, Parker and Drew share their stories of the arrows that have been tossed over the last couple of weeks. Parker has been able to kill a couple of does, and Drew was robbed by an unforeseen branch. That being said, they put the tactics talked about by Dave Owens and Warren Womack in previous episodes and it worked!
Listen up! We believe that podcasts like this one really can help you be more successful in the woods. We seriously think that if you will evaluate and adapt our guest's information & our experiences to your hunting situation, it can make you better and find success yourself.

This week on SGH we're talking with our friend, Mr. Pinhoti himself, Dave Owens. Dave scored on a really nice public land buck in Kentucky recently, and he's going to break down the process of what led him to success. Heads up... it's super basic, and basic is good!
Dave shares with us some of the things he's learned about chasing big bucks and it's a lot simpler than you might think. While most people know Dave for his turkey hunting ventures, he's also an extremely consistent and accomplished deer hunter. He's going to go over several things that seem to always be a contributing factor in his success.

Perhaps one of the greatest tactics for the months of September and October is finding where the acorns are dropping and which trees the deer are hitting the hardest. We couldn't think of anyone better to talk on the subject than Mr. Warren Womack. Warren has been a popular guest on our Local Legends series, but as the seasons start getting underway, this is a subject that you'll want to freshen up on. Mr. Womack goes into depth on his scout/hunt strategies, even stating that he believes the best way to hunt is to utilize in season scouting. "All acorns aren't the same", he says as he explains his process for setting up on what he believes are the preferred trees.
Listen close and take notes, Mr. Womack has a lot to say in a short amount of time!

Welcome to the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast, and thank you for tuning in. This week we’re digging into the vault from a couple years back, talking with Dave Owens of the Pinhoti Project. If you’ve followed Dave’s YouTube channel, you probably know that he is a die hard turkey hunter. What you may not know is that he actually cut his teeth in the outdoors hunting southern whitetails. He and Parker discuss how he navigates and breaks down the swampy Alabama public land areas he hunts, how he scouts it, and then how he executes a hunt. They talk about different food sources that he has found the most success on, especially when it comes to mature bucks. We tend to put human characteristics on deer when it comes to food, but Dave helps us understand that what most hunters tend to believe about a deer’s feeding habits may be further from the truth than what we think. This is an incredible conversation that you can gain whitetail knowledge from regardless of the type terrain you hunt!
