The Southern Collective Hunting Podcast

Alright, guys … it’s time to talk. This will be a longer post, but see it through.

Y’all have probably noted that we haven’t dropped an episode in a few weeks, and there is a big reason why … we are stopping the podcast. 

In truth, SoCo is stopping, but it’s not what you think!!! Hang in there for a minute. This thing has been a complete blast, and we have loved every minute of it, but we think a few things are hard to ignore at this point and so we aren’t.

Here...

If you don't have a defined rut, or if you only have a few days to hunt with a good rut, THIS is one thing you need to hyper focus on!

Does deer bedding matter in the rut? Doe bedding, buck bedding ... should you focus on that over other features when bucks are running?

We all know the story ... new guy goes hunting, 20 minutes go by, and they shoot a deer. Meanwhile, you spent all year scouting and bleeding to hopefully kill a yearling.

That isn't that story. Heath worked hard for his deer, studied like a madman, and made it happen. This is his story.

I don't think we talk near enough about private lands in the hunting community and that is probably due to how popular public land has become in the last 10 years. However, private land continues to be a tremendous resource and the tactics that apply can be even more difficlt at times, especially when you are hunting small permission properties like Brandon Reed.
