We're bringing back the Kill Switch series this weekend with an episode with our buddy, and member of Digital Deer Camp Kyle Huffstutler. When we had the idea for the Killswitch series this summer, Kyle was one of the first people who came to mind, because we all got to see the "switch" flip in real time during the 2023/2024 deer season when he connected on a huge Alabama 13 point. This episode talks heavily on the influence that a career in forestry has had on both Kyle & Matt's success in the woods over the last several years.

Kris Eastridge is back for Part 2! We're keeping the Weekend Warrior series rolling with Kris this week for part 2 and it's definitely worth the wait. In part 1, we really only scratched the surface of how Kris uses his limited time and heavy work schedule to be an efficient "Weekend Warrior". In this episode, Kris dives deeper into how he scouts and hunts, talking mostly about SMZs, or Stream Management Zones. If you're from the deep south, you know that so much of the property is used for logging and timber harvest. While some might see this as a misfortune, it doesn't change the fact that if you want to be successful in the south, especially on public land, you're better off knowing how to hunt this type of habitat.

If you consider yourself to be an efficient "Weekend Warrior" and would like the opportunity to come on the show, feel free to reach out to us on one of the platforms below and share your story with us!

This week Parker sits down with Jordan Pope of Arrows Anonymous to talk bows, tuning, arrows, and of course chasing big southern public land whitetails. Pope has never had a rich history of keeping his opinions to himself. What you see is what you get, and we've always appreciated that about him. As we all begin to get fired up about deer season, Parker and Pope reflect on some previous podcast conversations they'd had back in the Southern Ground days dealing with a giant 150" public land buck that Pope killed several years ago after targeting him all year. As the years have passed, Jordan has learned the difficulty of trying to replicate the same storyline of finding a giant, learning him, and killing him on public land in the South. And if it is repeatable, is the juice even worth the squeeze down here?

Parker & Walt sit down with a true weekend warrior, Kris Eastridge. Between having 4 kids, a wife, a time demanding full-time job, and a passion for chasing mature bucks... it's a wonder he has time to breathe. That said, Kris definitely gets it done year in and year out with usually only 2 days a week to hunt. We hear a lot of folks say "it's impossible to be consistent with only weekends to hunt", and we think it's time to stop making excuses. Be like Kris.
