716 - Using a Bucks Greatest Strength AGAINST Him with Alan Altizer

In this episode of The Southern Outdoorsmen Podcast, we sit down with legendary hunter Alan Altizer to talk about one of the most powerful deer hunting concepts you’ll ever hear: how a buck’s greatest strength can also be his biggest weakness.Alan shares decades of hard-earned woodsmanship — from reading washed-out tracks and understanding how deer use their senses, to why trail cameras can actually work against you. He explains how mature bucks rely on their strongest traits for survival, and how hunters can use those very strengths to finally outsmart them. • How to read tracks to understand a buck’s behavior • Why some bucks rely more on sight, smell, or sound — and how that changes their bedding • The concept of “kamikaze setups” and making a buck feel safe before moving in • Why trail cameras may give you more problems than solutions • How to exploit a buck’s strengths and turn them into weaknessesGot a question for the show?
