    The Southern Outdoorsmen Hunting Podcast

    The Southern Outdoorsmen is a weekly deer hunting podcast for serious DIY whitetail hunters, hosted by Andrew Maxwell and Jacob Myers. Since 2017 – across 800+ episodes – we've sat down with the best hometown deer hunters in the country: the guys quietly killing mature bucks year after year on the same public land, leases, hunting clubs, and family farms as everyone else, and broken down exactly how they do it.

    Every Monday we drop a new episode on the woodsmanship that actually fills tags – scouting and reading terrain, deer behavior and the rut, trail camera strategy, bowhunting, public land tactics, and habitat management – with a heavy focus on the Southeast and hard-hunted ground across the country. No fluff, no big-name filler. Just proven whitetail tactics you can put to work this fall.

    787 - How to Know When to Hunt Aggressive with Kyle Sides Apr 30, 2026
    Show notes

    In this episode we are joined by our friend Kyle Sides, who has been tagging along with us on some hunts after he tagged out in Alabama earlier this season! Kyle is younger than a lot of guys we interview on turkey hunting, but he is a true woodsman and is skilled at turkey hunting well beyond his years. We talk about Kyle's fast and aggressive hunting style, how to get in a bird's bubble to make him callable, and how these tactics paid off for Jacob with his 2nd public land longbeard of the season here in Alabama!

    786 - How to Find the Chink in a Gobblers Armor with Mike Pentecost Apr 27, 2026
    Show notes

    In this episode, we break down the idea that every gobbler has a short window—sometimes just 3 days—where he can be called, worked, and tagged. If you don’t recognize it, you’ll hunt right through it and never know he was beatable.

    We cover how to identify that window, what changes in a gobbler’s behavior, and the mistakes that keep hunters from capitalizing on it. From henned-up birds to late-season shifts, this episode is about understanding when the odds finally swing in your favor—and being ready when they do.

    Topics discussed:

    • The “3-day window” when a gobbler is killable
    • How to recognize when a bird becomes vulnerable
    • Common mistakes that cause hunters to miss their opportunity
    • Calling strategies when gobblers are with hens
    • Why calling to the gobbler isn’t always the right move
    • Late-season behavior and how it changes your approach
    • Knowing when to stay, move, or back out
    • The mindset shift that leads to more consistent success

    782 - How DRUMMING Pulls in Long-Spurred Gobblers | William Lyon Apr 13, 2026
    Show notes

    In this episode, William Lyon breaks down the subtle details that make the difference, including one overlooked sound that can completely change the outcome of a hunt.


    This is not surface-level advice. It’s decades of experience, hard lessons, and real stories from the woods.


    If you’ve ever had a gobbler stall just out of range… this one matters.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Why gobblers hang up—and what they’re actually doing

    • The role of drumming and why it can pull birds in when calling won’t

    • When to call, when to stay quiet, and how to use curiosity against a gobbler

    • How turkeys pinpoint your exact location (and how that affects your setup)

    • The patience factor: why sitting longer kills more birds

    • How to choose the right setup for stationary hunts

    • Using terrain, shadows, and conditions to your advantage

    • Wind, weather, and how they impact turkey movement and sound

    • Roosting strategies and how to plan your next morning hunt

    • Midday loafing areas and where birds go when they disappear

    • Real-world stories (including one of the wildest doubles you’ll ever hear)

    • Lessons learned from decades of turkey hunting experience

    If you’re serious about becoming a better turkey hunter, this episode will change how you think about calling—and when not to call.
