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

Today, we are joined by Thomas Myers of The Hunt Kitchen (who is also Jacob's brother) to discuss our recent successful hunts! We also hit some listener Q&A submissions: 

1. How long will feed trees stay hot once you find one? 

2. How to hunt an OVER-abundance of feed trees...what do you focus on instead?
