Southern Ground | Public Land Spring Scouting with Michael Pike

05/04/18 • 88 min

Thank you for tuning into the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast. This week, we’re diving straight into spring scouting on public land with my good friend, Michael Pike. With the lack of agriculture in the south, it can be difficult to pinpoint where these whitetails live, especially on high pressured public land.

Michael tells us how he has been able to use terrain and natural food sources to figure out where these big bucks are hanging out in the spring. Topics discussed: bedding, natural browse, bedding, and ground temperature. If you’re a hardcore hunter, you’re not going to want to miss this episode.

Southern Ground | All About OnX Maps

This week’s episode is a little bit different than our normal show because we got the opportunity to talk to two different people. First, we talk to Dylan Dowson from OnX Hunt. Dylan gave us an overhead view (pun intended) of what exactly OnX is and how this mapping system can be used to give us a great advantage in the woods. If you’re not an OnX user yet, I bet this convo will get you closer to making the plunge.

We also talked to Chris Rice, a fellow southern whitetail hunter, about how he used OnX to give him the upper hand this past season on some really nice public land whitetails in Alabama. Chris walks us through some of his strategies and how OnX became one of the greatest tools on his gear list. If Dylan didn’t convince you, I think Chris will. Enjoy!

Southern Ground | GoWild with Brad Luttrell

This week we are talking to Kentucky native, Brad Luttrell, about a new social media platform he has designed for outdoorsmen, GoWild. Brad is a passionate entrepreneur, die hard outdoorsmen, and a genius behind the grill. The majority of our conversation is focused on Go Wild, but when Brad starts talking about cooking wild game, it’s tough to get him to stop!

It’s also good to have Blake back from his paternity leave. We have definitely missed having him and his southern twang, and I may or may not have written and performed a song I wrote just for Blake on this episode. Welcome back, Blake. Southern Ground has missed you!
