If you spook your target buck, will he leave and never come back? Today we answer that question with Dr. Gino D'Angelo of the University of Georgia! Dr. D'Angelo is a professor of Deer Ecology & Managment at Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources at University of Georgia. Throughout his tenure he has been a part of many studies related to whitetail deer, including GPS collar studies across the southeast! In this episode we dive into a question any deer hunter hasx wondered - what happens when you spook a buck? Does he leave the area completely? Will he immediately circle back? Subjects include: - The decline of whitetail deer in the southern Appalachian mountains - Why cutting timber means more deer - Hunting pressure in the mountains vs low country - how did deer react to heavy dog hunting pressure in one of Dr. D'Angelo's studies? - How long does it take a buck to return to an area after being spooked by a hunter? - How much pressure does it take for a deer to abandon their home range? - How far does a deer run when it is spooked? and a lot more! If you enjoy this episode, share it with a friend and let us know what questions you have for our next podcast on deer GPS studies! Got a question for the show?

Today, we are doing a special Q&A podcast! We cover a wide array of questions submitted by listeners, including: What to look for in new public land to hunt How do you hunt a property deer are only passing through? What kind of oak trees drop first for deer hunting? Should you hunt feed trees in the morning or evening? How to keep deer meat from spoiling in hot temperatures in early season? How should you hunt early-season buck bedding? Will 2024 have a bifurcated rut, half in October and half in late November? Do we predator hunt around the time fawns are dropping to help their survival? Do bucks try and bed near rushing water, or other features that make a lot of noise? Does finding shed antlers mean an area is good to actually hunt that buck in? A year after our episode with Rick Cope, what are our thoughts on turpentine as a cover scent?

Today, we are bringing it back to the classic of all classics for the Southern Outdoorsmen Podcast - Episode 116 with Glen Solomon. Glen was a true woodsman in every sense of the word and was a local legend in his home state of Georgia! In this episode, we do a deep dive into Glen's thought process when it comes to hunting whitetails on pressured WMA's across Georgia. The year before we recorded this podcast, Glen tagged 5 mature bucks in Georgia on 5 different WMA's (utilizing bonus buck hunts on WMA's after he tagged out). About one month after we recorded this episode, Glen passed away, and we are glad we were able to record this and preserve this local legend, speaking on what he did best in his own voice. As a longtime writer for GON, Glen had a lot of unpublished work. After Glen's passing, his family posthumously published some of Glen's work.

Today we are throwing it back to one of our all time favorites, EP 300 with our buddy Clifton Denney! This episode has produced a ton of listener success stories over the years and we felt this was the perfect time to bring it back to the top of the feed! Have you ever had the wind switch and swirl on you in the stand? If you've hunted for any length of time then the answer is yes - and today we have Clifton Denney of Arkansas on to discuss. Clifton dives into how you can use your topo map to predict wind currents and know how the wind will ramp off hills, swirl, eddie and interact with everything it runs into, even trees! This is a deep dive on wind and we get into the weeds on subjects such as how wind velocity will effect where and how the wind swirls, and where bucks will cruse. Clifton uses his knowledge of the wind to predict where bucks will be cruising based on day to day predictions, and he has used his knowledge to knock down quite a few nice bucks. You wont want to miss this one! Check out Clifton's video referenced in the podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8t1s2jFffI Got a question for the show?

We have been VERY excited to get this episode out to y'all! This week we are talking with Daniel Williams about using annual patterns to precisely predict mature buck movement patterns. Daniel has perfected this tactic over many years and has used it to tag mature bucks in areas where other hunters struggle! The best part about this tactic is that you probably already have everything you need to start using it. Subjects: Understanding that mature bucks' daylighting is NOT random Utilizing trail cam data & in-person observations to find the EXACT dates you need to hunt an area Why the wind is now meaningless to Daniel Killing a mature buck in an area you'd NEVER expect based on sign Scouting to find a mature buck's "loop" Finding where the home ranges of multiple bucks intersect Building a "hunt calendar" to know EXACTLY where to hunt and when Taking the guesswork out of stand locations Why you need to pay extra-close attention to historical rubs How pressure can move the deer sign away from where it "should be" Get a copy of Daniel's book here - https://2ly.link/1xvqc Check out Daniel's youtube channel here - https://www.youtube.com/@thecedarridgechronicles Got a question for the show?

The Dilla is back! On this episode, we are joined by our good buddy Michael Pike, known to many as "the Dilla" (short for armadillo, because he has turned over every leaf in Alabama looking for big bucks!).

Subjects include: How Michael got severely burned out on deer hunting & then got back into it The intangible aspect of being good at deer hunting Why your tactics haven't been working Listening to the woods (literally) to find deer Building upon each hunt to increase your odds every time The best way to plan out-of-state hunts The camaraderie of having hunting buddies, and how it makes you hunt better and tons more!

Today we are doing a throwback to one of our favorite turkey episodes we have ever done! Mike Pentecost is an absolute wealth of turkey hunting knowledge, and we traveled to sit down with him to pick his brain on what the differences are between turkey hunters and turkey killers! Mike dives into subjects such as all the details that 90% of turkey hunters overlook that have a huge impact on their success rate, tagging turkeys with either "your feet or your seat", the importance of perception in turkey hunting and how a focus in this area will immediately start changing your turkey hunting for the better, and how he is extremely successful well into the mid and late season when a lot of other hunters struggle.
