We are happy to announce Alpha Dog Nutrition as an official sponsor of the Double U Hound Podcast and a new product available at https://www.dusupply.com/alphadog. We would like to thank them for supporting our hounds, listeners and now our customers. Listen in and get to know the people behind the product and their mission to make sure our dogs have all the tools to succeed in the field for years to come.

Things have come a long way for Alpha Dog since things started in Joe’s garage. Their commitment and reputation of providing the tools our dogs need to perform at a top level has resulted in a very loyal customer base, and some very happy dogs. With a background in waterfowl hunting, both Joe and Zach know that all dogs can benefit from balanced nutrition, but after one bear hunt Zach knew that hounds were a different breed. His appreciation and respect for what our dogs do sparked a fire for hounds, bringing him back to bear camp year after year.

This week Mark covers what you can be doing right now to prep and scout deer for early season and rut hunting. Changes on the landscape, food plots and agriculture crops should be assessed to determine how deer will use them this year. Especially, when you can identify "deer magnet" sites that other hunters will overlook. Like a clear cut.  
Mature bucks are hiding out in tight core areas. Locate now to help reduce pressure during mid to late summer. Bucks will remain in these core areas up until the pre-rut. Locating pregnant doe group bedding now will improve your rut hunting.

Southern Way - Early Season Deer Scouting Starts Now

On this episode of Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan is once again joined by Skip Sligh to talk about deer behavior. That is until Skip derails the entire episode and takes us in a couple different different directions. For those of you who have never heard Skip speak, the first thing you will notice is that he is as passionate about whitetails as they come. Although the guys do talk about deer behavior off and on in this episode, Skip also talks about habitat improvement, hunters who take more than they give back, and his thoughts on how baiting is ruining the quality of hunting is certain states.
