Bama Wall Hangers - Hunting Podcast

This week on the Southern Ground Hunting podcast, Parker and Drew are talking about the similarities and differences in hunting deer in the early season in the north/midwest as compared to the southeast. If you spend time on different forums, you'll likely hear people grumble about how "Those midwestern deer just don't act the same as our deer in the south". It's a regular topic of conversation. While in some ways it can be true, there are lessons you can draw from every hunting experience no matter where you are. 

In episode 143, we talk through the similarities in food sources, terrain features, how deer navigate certain habitat types, & their response to hunting pressure. We also talk through the differences in the way deer behave based on the region they're in.

Parker is recapping his trip to North Dakota in this week's SGH episode. In previous episodes, you may have heard him talk about this hunt, and how it was different from his normal hunt. He was invited to hunt on a leased property with our friends from Tethrd, which was a preset stand with bait piles type of hunt. That's not wrong, it's legal, but it's still not our normal public land grind that we enjoy so much. Parker talks about the challenges of trying to set in a preset spot, and how hard it is sometimes to be patient and wait, instead of going out and trying to make something happen. 

As the week progressed, and minimal deer were being seen, he made a move to hunt public land and ultimately was successful on the last day. We hope you enjoy this episode!

Southern Ground Hunting is moving north for this week's episode with a special guest, Mark Kenyon. If you don't know Mark, get out from under that rock you're living under. Mark is a part of the Meateater team and host Wired To Hunt podcast. As we move into the super early whitetail openers across the US, Mark and Parker decided to talk about hunting strategies and tactics for some of these states. Mark has hunted several different early September opener states through the years and has had a good amount of success doing it. In this episode we discuss hunting public land bucks in states like Idaho, Kentucky, North Dakota, Wyoming and a few others. This is a really good podcast to get the ball rolling, especially for someone from the south who just thinks "It's too far, too expensive, or there's no good public land early season opportunities". There really are so many affordable options for hunting these places that just might offer you the chance to shoot a nice velvet buck!

This week's episode of the Southern Ground Hunting podcast was a blast to record. It always amazes us when we get to talk public land deer hunting with people who, even though they live in the south, their way of hunting looks incredibly different. South Florida is a land where deer hunting simply isn't for the faint of heart. Everything in the woods seems like it wants to eat you! However, the guys from team Swamp N Stomp just pull up their big boy britches and get to work. One crazy thing about south Florida is the fact that their main rut begins in July and August. While most of us are still watching velvet bucks on trail cameras, the south Florida bucks are already hard horned and ready to find a hot doe. This week we're talking with Mark and Danny about how they break down their public land areas and consistently find bucks when the deer density is typically pretty low. How do you find a food source? What terrain features do deer gravitate to? How do you dodge dog hunting pressure? All of these questions and more will be discussed in this episode. Enjoy!

Thanks for listening to the Southern Ground Hunting podcast. This week, Parker and Drew are talking about their plans for the 2021 season. Every season is a learning experience and the guys share how they plan to apply last year's lessons to this season. We're talking about Tennessee, North Dakota, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania & Indiana. Man it's going to be a full season, but there will be a ton of memories made. 

The guys spend a good portion of time talking about how they plan to attack a high odds area this year. Something we've discussed frequently, but also plan to keep evolving through the 2021 deer season. With the help of the new technology from Spartan Forge, it has taken a lot of the guess work out of the equation. We're excited to get the ball rolling this year.

Thanks for listening to the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast. This weekend we were able to attend the Public Land Hunter's Hangout at Parker's Wildlife Taxidermy in Cullman, AL. SGH hosted a live podcast Q&A session with some of what we believe are the best public land hunters in Alabama. Jamie McCay, Michael Perry & Wes Moye sat down with us and answered some of your questions, and the results were great! 

Some of the things discussed were:

• Group Hunting
• Rattling, calling, scents
• Tackling a buck's whole core area
• Things to look for in a spot that will produce year after year
• Early season vs. Rut vs. Late season tactics

This week on the Southern Ground Hunting podcast, we're joined by Walter Lee of Chasing Tales Outdoors. We're going to take a break from our normal tactic talk to have a fun story telling episode. Now we're not talking about your regular run of the mill hunting stories, we're talking weird, bizarre, craziest things we've seen in the whitetail woods. Walter is from Florida, so he obviously wins the conversation. Florida is just full of strange people. There's no two ways around that! However, Parker has a couple of wild things that have happened to him while hunting as well. WARNING: For some reason, Walt's stories seem to revolve around poop... other people's poop. Weird crap (pun intended). Anyways, this was a fun episode. We hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for listening to the Southern Ground Hunting series, Local Legends. This week's legend is none other than Jeremy Aron of the "Do It Yourself Hunter". Jeremy hails from the great state of Mississippi and is no stranger to big public land bucks. As a matter of fact, you may have seen him on the outdoor channel years ago or even on his YouTube channel where he posts recent hunts. If you're familiar with Jeremy, you probably have noticed that he is always hunting new states, and also always being successful in those states. Not only that but he's doing it on public land. For Jeremy, it's all a part of his system and it should come as no surprise that someone with his resume in the whitetail woods would have a system for their success. In this episode, Jeremy lays out the things that he's doing that he feels sets him apart from other hunters, even in places where the hunting pressure on public land can tend to get high through the month of November. 

Make sure you follow along with Jeremy and his partner, Daniel, on their YouTube channel "Do It Yourself Hunter".

Southern Ground Hunting is going outside of our comfort zone a little bit with this week's local legend. We're talking with world renown outlaw hunter, Charles Beaty. Charles is a best selling author & die hard deer hunter, but he's known for his spending his younger days (over 20 years)  poaching Boone & Crockett class bucks off of the King and Kennedy ranches in South Texas. DISCLAIMER: THIS PODCAST IS NOT IN ANY WAY CONDONING POACHING, but when you hear Charles' story then you'll understand why we think he's a perfect guest for this series. Getting chased by cowboys & game wardens, rattling giant bucks in the brush country, God changing his life and convicting him of his lifestyle ... this could be a movie!

Back by popular demand, Southern Ground is kicking off the Local Legends series. This week we're talking with an absolute legendary deer killing machine, Jim Forbes. Jim has been hunting the mountains of Virginia for his whole life and has learned things that have upped his odds in the deer woods. Like so many local legends we've talked to in the past, Jim makes it clear that he's not hunting deer, he's hunting old mature bucks. Mr. Forbes continuously says "food is everything in these mountains", and for good reason. He talks with us about just how important it is to find the hot oak trees in the mountains, with red oak acorns being his personal favorite. This makes sense as he tells us that his most successful time is in the latest part of the rut. Several things stick out to us about Jim. First of all, he is very calculated about his approach. Hearing him talk about how he breaks down the monotonous big woods found in the mountains is nothing short of precise. Secondly, he places most of his confidence in the natural features he finds. If he finds the right vegetation or terrain feature that he knows mature bucks like, he has confidence that one day it will produce, even if it takes years. Lastly, he puts a lot of stock into knowing the area he's hunting from front to back, as any good woodsman should. You're not going to be disappointed in this episode and we couldn't think of a better way to kick off Local Legends '21.
