The Southern Outdoorsmen Hunting Podcast

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!). We catch up with him on his awesome 2023 season where he tagged out in AL with 3 great bucks, two of which were big 10 points - all on public. 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! It was great catching up and we are sure the dilla will be back on the show throughout the year. Got a question for the show?

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.

For this very special episode 500 we decided to give the mic over to some of our listeners! We interviewed several listeners who came by our booth at the World Deer Expo in Birmingham to break down HOW they have taken tactics from the show and successfully applied them across the southeast! 500 episodes is a HUGE milestone for us, and we want to say THANK YOU to all of our listeners for tuning in every week. When we started out we felt there was a huge gap in hunting media - the average Southern hunter seemed to be left out! Most informational/helpful content out there was heavily geared toward the Midwest. We wanted to create a resource to fill that gap by finding the best local, real-world deer hunters across our region. Over the years our search for the best woodsmen the country has to offer has brought us to meet some of the most genuine folks we have ever met - and we have established so many great friendships because of it. We would also like to say a special thanks to all of our past guests, who selflessly gave us interviews to help out complete strangers! The show would be nothing without their generosity and expertise! So thanks for 500 everyone, and here's to the next 500! Stay Southern! Got a question for the show?
