The out of state hunting trip... Deer hunters often dream of striking out for new ground, bigger deer than they can find at home, and a little bit of adventure. But once you decide to make the leap, what can you do to get on bucks quick?

In this episode of the Southern Way Hunting Podcast, Josh talks with Rick Hall of Southern Game & Tackle about finding bucks on out of state trips. Rick has been traveling to hunt out of state for years, and he's learned a thing or two about what it takes to find bucks on new dirt. The guys have a great conversation about making trips, being prepared, and what Rick does to get on deer.

Across most of the whitetail's range, a November rut is the norm. This is because historical climate conditions dictate that fawns must be born during a specific window in order to survive. But across much of the south, this isn't so. In fact, depending on where you are, you might see whitetails breeding during any month of the year! What has created such strange rut timing in the southern US?

In this episode of the Southern Way Hunting Podcast, host Josh Raley talks with Lindsay Thomas Jr. of the National Deer Association about why the rut time is so varied in the Deep South. The guys cover it all, from photoperiod, to stocking deer, to buck/doe ratios. They even get into a conversation about CWD and what hunters in the south should learn from states like Wisconsin that are on the brink of a major deer herd disaster. 

Enjoy!

In this episode of the Southern Way Hunting Podcast, Josh is flying solo to talk about a strategy he's found to be highly effective on pressured ground: hunting pressure funnels. 

This strategy isn't flashy, takes a lot of legwork, and depends on lots of hunting pressure. But it sure seems to work! In fact, this has been Josh's primary strategy over the last four seasons, and his encounters with mature bucks have skyrocketed. Tune in to hear how he puts this simple but not easy strategy to work!

We all know that when hunting the rut, we want to be around the does. But which does are more likely to lure a big buck your way? Knowing the answer to this question can be a key to success for rutty bucks! In this episode of the Southern Way Hunting Podcast, Josh talks with Brandon Barlow about how Brandon tracks doe estrous dates to get on big bucks. The guys discuss how Brandon tracks the does on his properties, how he calculates their estrous dates, and how he sets up to capitalize when the bucks move in. Enjoy!

Hunting feed trees. If you hunt in the south, chances are you've tried your hand at the tried and true tactic for getting on deer. And chances are you've been disappointed with some of your results. While hunting feed trees can be very productive for getting on deer, it's not always the best method for getting on the top end bucks in your area. In this episode of the Southern Way Hunting Podcast, Josh talks with Kaylan Pope about hunting feed trees and why they may be overrated for those targeting top end bucks. 

Does your camo pattern REALLY matter? The old timers were killing deer in blue jeans. Tons of deer have fallen to the cheapest thing on the shelf at Wally World or hand-me-down faded out Mossy Oak. Guys in the north rock red and black plaid against the snow white backdrop. So it stands to reason that camo is overrated, right? Right?!

While camo doesn't kill deer and isn't essential for being a successful hunter, quality camo CAN keep you concealed and comfortable, meaning more hours in the field. But what all goes into high quality camo? In this episode of The Southern Way Hunting Podcast, Josh talks with Ev Tarrell and Jamie Dykman of Code of Silence about the science behind their camo.
