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 talk with Lynn Sisson of Virginia about the success he's had over the years hunting very small properties. Lynn hunts a few small parcels of land near his home in the mountains of VA, and none of these properties contain any great terrain funnels, or habitat features - but Lynn has found a way to tag nice bucks on these properties year after year.
