In this episode of the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast, host Matt Wyatt catches up with David Ellis, better known as “Yawt Yawt”, the Mississippi trapper and YouTube personality whose mix of humor, wildlife work, and storytelling has made him a fan favorite.

David talks about his latest deer season, how filming his own hunts has changed, and what it’s like balancing social media fame with everyday life. He shares stories about being recognized by fans in restaurants and airports, how he keeps his YouTube content authentic, and the realities of running hundreds of trapping jobs across Mississippi.

The conversation covers:

• Deer hunting, filming challenges, and close calls with game wardens

• The reality of being a full-time trapper and YouTube creator

• How to stay legal, ethical, and real in outdoor content creation

• The state of hog trapping and population control after several years of work

• What happens when fans recognize him in public — even in strange places

• The pros and cons of social media attention, and the line between real life and online life
