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

Today we sit down with a very highly requested guest - Steve Sherk of Sherk's Guide Service. 

To run a guiding business on public lands, in a big woods setting, you have to be exceptionally in tuned with how bucks use the woods and move acorss the landscape! Steve has years of experience not only tagging big bucks himself, but also putting other hunters into positions to get a shot at a big woods buck. In this episode, we talk: 

 The steps Steve takes before the season to be one step ahead

 How Steve predicts where bucks will show up in the rut with great accuracy

 The first thing to look for in pre-season scouting

 Learning plant species that deer love to browse on

 Reading the landscape to predict where bucks will be in late summer vs early fall

 Steve's trail cam strategy

 Why you need cameras on scrapes in late summer

and a ton more!
