For this very special episode 500 we decided to give the mic over to some of our listeners! We interviewed several listeners who came by our booth at the World Deer Expo in Birmingham to break down HOW they have taken tactics from the show and successfully applied them across the southeast! 500 episodes is a HUGE milestone for us, and we want to say THANK YOU to all of our listeners for tuning in every week. When we started out we felt there was a huge gap in hunting media - the average Southern hunter seemed to be left out! Most informational/helpful content out there was heavily geared toward the Midwest. We wanted to create a resource to fill that gap by finding the best local, real-world deer hunters across our region. Over the years our search for the best woodsmen the country has to offer has brought us to meet some of the most genuine folks we have ever met - and we have established so many great friendships because of it. We would also like to say a special thanks to all of our past guests, who selflessly gave us interviews to help out complete strangers! The show would be nothing without their generosity and expertise! So thanks for 500 everyone, and here's to the next 500! Stay Southern! Got a question for the show?
