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

In this Q&A episode we tackle a few frustrating turkey hunting situations most hunters eventually face.

• Turkeys that stay just across a creek and won’t cross

• Fresh turkey sign but no gobbling

• What to do when birds won’t come to your calls

We break down how we’d approach each scenario, when to dial back the calling, and what these situations might actually be telling you about the birds you’re hunting.

Topics Covered

• Why some gobblers won’t cross terrain barriers

• What sign means when birds aren’t gobbling

• When calling less can actually work better

• Adjustments to make when turkeys won’t respond

772 - What 40+ Years of Turkey Hunting Taught Stanley Wymbs

Turkey season is right around the corner, and in this episode we dive into some of the most common questions hunters have heading into the woods.

We cover when locator calls actually work (and when they don’t), how often you should check on a gobbling turkey before the season opens, and what to expect when hunting pressured public land in the South. We also talk through shotgun setups, choke and ammo combinations, and how long it realistically takes most hunters to kill their first turkey.

Topics in this episode:

• When and how to use locator calls for turkeys

• How often you should scout a gobbling bird

• Dealing with hunting pressure on public land

• Turkey choke and ammo setups that actually work

• How long it takes most hunters to kill their first turkey

771 - The Best Locator Calls, & BIG BUCK CONTEST Winners! | Q&A

Today we are joined by our buddy Aaron Warbritton of The Hunting Public! 

Aaron is a rare blend of old-school woodsmanship and modern tactical thinking. He understands the fundamentals, but he also adapts to how turkeys behave under heavy pressure. That combination is what makes him one of the most effective public land hunters that we know. 

In this conversation, we cover:

 
How to find “the X” on unfamiliar public land

 
Why habitat + pressure dictate everything

 
How to break down new ground fast

 
Early vs late season turkey strategy

 
When to sit patiently — and when to move

 
How pressure changes gobbler behavior

 
Beating other hunters without racing them

 
Reading terrain for the 30–50 yard kill window

 
Locator calls on pressured birds

 
Why most hunters leave too early

 
The mindset required to hunt multiple states successfully

This is a masterclass in public land turkey hunting — from the mental approach to the in-the-woods execution.

If you want to consistently kill public land gobblers anywhere, this one is worth your time.
