Bama Wall Hangers - Hunting Podcast

If you’re a die hard whitetail hunting addict like us, then this is the perfect episode for you! This week, Parker is joined by guest co-host Greg Godfrey and they are talking to fellow deer hunting fanatic, Nathan Unger. Nathan hails from the great state of Georgia, and you can be he knows a thing or two about southern deer hunting. He’s also an accomplished writer for “Wide Open Spaces”. The conversation includes topics like outdoor writing, public land hunting in Georgia, a Scent Crusher product review, and of course a hunting story or two.

Parker and Greg also discuss the already groundbreaking new saddle company, Tethrd, which also happens to be Greg’s side hustle. The team at Tethrd is truly making strides in the hunting industry, and Southern Ground is pumped to be a part!

Thanks for tuning into the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast! On this special Father’s Day episode we are talking to the guys that first ignited the passion for the outdoors in us. Some know them as Brian Echols and Randall McDonald, but we know them simply as Dad. These two legends talk about how and why they made the decision a long time ago to take their kids hunting and fishing, in hopes that maybe it will inspire listeners to do the same.

Prepare to laugh at some of our father/son hunting debacles, and get ready for some… misty eyed moments. Whatever your emotional outlet may be, we hope that you enjoy this episode. We sure did. Happy Father’s Day!

We have never been more excited to share an episode as much as we are with this one. This week Parker and Blake are talking all about using a kayak to access hard to reach places on public land. Living in the south, it’s very hard to compete with the amount of pressure that most pieces of public land are receiving. We share why we think the kayak method is the best method to beat the pressure in your area, and in some cases use it to your advantage. You are going to hear us talk about our kayak setups and strategies, and hopefully you will be inspired to try it for yourself.

Some people think you can’t have a true backcountry adventure without heading west. We beg to differ. Your adventure is what you make it, and for us, this is how we do it.

This week we are talking to Kentucky native, Brad Luttrell, about a new social media platform he has designed for outdoorsmen, GoWild. Brad is a passionate entrepreneur, die hard outdoorsmen, and a genius behind the grill. The majority of our conversation is focused on Go Wild, but when Brad starts talking about cooking wild game, it’s tough to get him to stop!

It’s also good to have Blake back from his paternity leave. We have definitely missed having him and his southern twang, and I may or may not have written and performed a song I wrote just for Blake on this episode. Welcome back, Blake. Southern Ground has missed you!

Thank you for tuning into the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast. This week, we’re diving straight into spring scouting on public land with my good friend, Michael Pike. With the lack of agriculture in the south, it can be difficult to pinpoint where these whitetails live, especially on high pressured public land.

Michael tells us how he has been able to use terrain and natural food sources to figure out where these big bucks are hanging out in the spring. Topics discussed: bedding, natural browse, bedding, and ground temperature. If you’re a hardcore hunter, you’re not going to want to miss this episode.

This week’s episode is a little bit different than our normal show because we got the opportunity to talk to two different people. First, we talk to Dylan Dowson from OnX Hunt. Dylan gave us an overhead view (pun intended) of what exactly OnX is and how this mapping system can be used to give us a great advantage in the woods. If you’re not an OnX user yet, I bet this convo will get you closer to making the plunge.

We also talked to Chris Rice, a fellow southern whitetail hunter, about how he used OnX to give him the upper hand this past season on some really nice public land whitetails in Alabama. Chris walks us through some of his strategies and how OnX became one of the greatest tools on his gear list. If Dylan didn’t convince you, I think Chris will. Enjoy!

This week we are thrilled to get to talk to the guys over at The Hunting Public while they were down in Alabama in search of public land turkeys. Aaron, Zach & Brody (aka Corndog) talked with us about some of the tactics they used, and what ultimately led to success on their first stop of Turkey Tour 2018. We definitely talked strategy, but we’re no strangers to just sitting around and shootin’ the bull! There’s no shortage of that in this episode.

This is also a huge episode for us because we had the opportunity to talk about our new partnership with OnX Hunt. We’re absolutely stoked to get to work with this great company and we know that only great things will come from it. To celebrate, we’re giving away 3 Premium membership cards and 1 Elite membership card. Woodhaven Custom Calls has also been generous enough to give us 2 Ninja Hammer calls & 1 Cluck n’ Purr pot that we are excited to give away as well.

Today we’re chatting with THE Saddle Hunter, Greg Godfrey. Greg is a hardcore mobile deer hunter from Georgia that has learned to depend on hunting from a tree saddle to get him into those trees that treestand hunters can only dream about. We discuss his first steps into saddle hunting, as well as some tactics he has learned over his years of experience with this method. If you want to learn the basics of hunting with this ultimate mobile setup, take a listen!

Southern Ground Hunting has recently launched a new video series on our YouTube channel called the “KYK Hunter Vlog”. If you want to dive into our personal hunting style of using a kayak as our main tool to hunt public land, check out this vlog. With Turkey season right around the corner, you sure don’t want to miss out on the action.

This week we’re talking with Alabama native & traditional archery hunter, Ammon McKinney. We discussed his best season ever that consisted of a dwarf buck he harvested named “Odd Job”, but the focus of our conversation was his legendary tracking dog, Woodrow. Ammon talks with us about how Woodrow became the tracking machine that he is today, and what he believes were the most important factors in his success.

Ammon was also kind enough to recommend several different blood trailing resources for hunters in the south. You may never need a tracking dog, but when you do, you’ll be glad you have this info.

Whoever has said the South doesn’t have big deer have obviously not spoken to our new friend, Edward Cook. Not only is this guy just a giant slayer, he also does it on public land. We focus on a specific giant buck that Edward harvested on a special draw WMA hunt, but we also talk about opportunities all over the South that hunters have to chase big bucks on public land through these special draw permits.

Aside from this episode being rich in information, Edward is also just a fun guy to listen to as you can hear the passion he has for the pursuit of monster public land whitetails.
