Andrew Maxwell & Jacob Myers

Your go-to Deer Hunting Podcast! The Southern Outdoorsmen is a show dedicated to diving deep on the topics that will make you a better hunter. We interview guys who are the "real deal", the best hometown deer hunters across the country - the guys who have consistent success deer hunting the same public lands, leases, hunting clubs, or family farms as everyone else. Every Monday we post an episode with fresh tips, tactics and strategies to give you an edge in the woods this fall.

The Southern Outdoorsmen Hunting Podcast

In this throwback episode, we sit down with our buddies Nick Harris & Scott Seales, who are some seasoned public-land killers, to break down how they consistently find and kill mature bucks during the Southern rut. From hunting pressure and late-morning movement to off-winds, ugly terrain, and long-range gun setups, this conversation is packed with hard-earned lessons that only come from decades in the woods. If you gun hunt the rut in the Deep South—especially on pressured public land—this episode is a masterclass in how it really gets done.
