We revisit one of our most steamed/viewed episodes ever and dive back into hunting the rut in south. Due to restocking efforts where deer were brought into Alabama and other states the timing of the rut can be very different based on the location. This makes hunting the rut in the south challenging to say the least. Let's talk about it!

Hunters see less daylight deer movement during the month of December and hunters blame it on a whole host of reasons, but do any of them actually hold water or is it all just a myth?

In this one we sit down with Robby Black from Black's Deer Processing. We talk about the progression of technological advancements in the hunting industry and whether or not it is hurting the art of woodsmanship. Robby is an incredible guy, processor, and hunter with a trophy wall that would rival anyone's in the south. This was a fun one!

In this one we sit down to discuss what makes this time of year magical for most of the midwest. We also compare and contrast the way hunters approach the month of November in the southeast when most of the states are not seeing rut activity until later in the season. Hope you find it helpful or at least entertaining.

Most landowners in the south don't have the luxury owning 500+ acres. That brings up the question: "Can you manage small properties for wildlife?". We get questions like that a lot from our listeners so we wanted to take some time to sit down with fellow land managers, Marc and Misty Brenner of Outfitters Depot. Marc has been in the land management space for a long time and has done a great job helping his clients with smaller tracts achieve their goals when it comes to wildlife, habitat, and self-sufficient farming.

Many of you know that we took a trip in January of 2025 to South Texas to film and participate in a deer capture event for a research project. That project was conducted with the intent of comparing the performance of whitetail deer that were fed protein pellets with ones that were fed cotton seed as a supplementary source of protein. Our guest, Dr. Joe Hediger of the  @ckwri  Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute, sat down with us to discuss the details of the project, what they predict the results may show, and what they could mean for landowners in the south. If you are a Whitetail fanatic this is the show for you.
