The Southern Outdoorsmen Hunting Podcast

by Andrew Maxwell & Jacob Myers

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. Want to be a woodsman? Start here.

Informative, entertaining, family friendly, funny and just great!!! These guys put out content every week and it’s got my attention. Love this podcast.

#ChaseA · Dec 2024

My Son told me he wanted to go hunting at the beginning of the season. I have never hunted before but felt like this was something we could do and learn together. The Information and stories you guys tell have been invaluable to helping us get started. We followed the signs and found the X on our small tract property. We’ve sat a bunch and had some young bucks and a bunch of Does come through. Trying to be patient though and wait for this 8 pointer we’ve seen a few times to come close though. Thank you guys and keep up the great work.

JBKettles · Nov 2024

I’m currently listening to the episode with Mr. Jody Meche and already he ranks right up there with Rick Cope and Richard Fought as one of my all-time favorite guests you’ve ever had on. The storytelling ability is top notch, and I love nothing more than to hear a man give all the glory to God! you guys continue to raise the bar with every episode! keep up the amazing work!

Matthew Strayhorn · Nov 2024

I appreciate what you guys do! I’m 29 years old and as lifelong deer hunter there’s a lot of topics you all discuss that I’ve thought about so many times over the years and catch myself, along with some of my buddies, scratching our heads on how to go about certain situations. The episodes with Bobby Worthington have been very helpful and I hope to be able to use some of these tactics and information in these Appalachian mountains to have better success for not only myself but my friends and family along side me!
