Hunting in the south can be challenging, but Parker has learned that with just a little bit of extra effort, you can see high volumes of success hunting southern whitetails on public land.

Dan and Parker discuss the benefits of hunting these areas as well as the tips, tricks and strategies for scouting and picking out the perfect spot. Parker started using these strategies 8 years ago and now takes the show on the road by putting it into practice on public land in multiple states.
