A very loose rule of thumb is to look at the breakfast menu in the area restaurant. If you see grits, you’re in the south.

This episode brought me an additional thought to healthy air, soil, and water. I feel like cave systems and ground water are a whole new level to that

He is full of bs just wants to write citations

The problem is are population in usa is going to explode in the next 50 years and more people means more stuff to get in the water we are a young country love it well we got it

There's a place in Harold E Alexander WMA with a short trail leading to a natural spring in the creek bed, it's called Bubbling spring, just a hole in the ground with water coming out. Surrounded by water cress in the warm months. Best tasting water I've had anywhere.

Javelina are peccaries. The only ones native to North America

As a Cajun we consider anyone from north of Interstate 10 to be a yankee.

Where are the women don't you guys know any women?

LOL, Dr. Ruth...real Hill Billys, cool

Fine, I'll go listen to bear grease right now!!!

*get call for guy jumping off bridge* “Welp. Don’t see anyone. Let’s go back to the donut shop” *meanwhile guys watch in them from the water* Fucking ppl man.

Great episode! Full of great tips 👍👍

I'm a tourist of the Buffalo since 1978 and I always hate hearing about paving dirt roads along the river but I never knew dirt roads contribute to erosion problems until now. This video is very informative.

I thought this guy was a beast until it turns out he hunts over “ BOOSTED “ bait piles. That’s a shame.

What a shame to find out his restaurant is now closed. I understand his decision, but it's unfortunate that he could not continue to follow his passion in Missouri. 😔

Hope he’s doing well now

Ive done that, but it was a hog. Different kind of suprise!

Late season gang! My absolute favorite. The bucks come home, back in groups and become patternable again 🤌🏽

Good, decline. Nobody wants to pull up to some public land just to see Tom, Dick and harry and their out of state friends Larry, Moe and Curly.

One big problem is they have commercialized hunting so much that it has became a rich man’s sport, instead of a sport for all people.

As a public land hunter I wish there was more publicly available land to hunt. But let’s be honest if I could afford 100acres I wouldn’t let anyone else hunt on it either. So I’ll keep saving and try to find a good piece of land

Farm purchasing cooperatives for multiple use is one answer. Documents drawn up by atty who knows local coop law.

I’m curious what would be a good blind for public land? I wouldn’t be onboard for leaving a blind on pub.

We love this dude. Can listen to him all day 👍

Nice boots dork

I love that y’all are talking about late season specifically in the Ozarks, not much of that out there. I learned some new tactics from this episode. Thank y’all! Keep it up

Hell yeah I was hoping yall was gonna have russten on again

Had a toad show up last night when I was in the saddle.. I turned around, and he was coming right towards me. Then he stopped, stood a minute and turned around and walked the other way.... gut wrenching, lol

Ya’ll we have no shortage of deer hunting podcasts. This is boring. Let’s talk about the Ozarks

This lady’s awesome

So the MDC cracks down on "Landowner tags". I have seen reports that up to 30% of the free landowner tags were actually frauds. People wanted free tags so they fudged that they were landowners. He mentions right in the beginning that peak numbers have dropped. How many of those were fake landowners to begin with? Some studies show hunter numbers increasing, others decreasing. I don't buy that we are losing hunters. I think it will be used as an excuse to bring in wolves. Many Feds and animal rights groups want them in all 48 lower states. Check out MN, WI, and MI. See what wolves have done to their deer numbers.

Hunt Southern Missouri he hits the nail on the head. The guys on southern outdoorsman are good too. I just wish the hosts didn't sit and dress so fruity.

I don’t see as many deer as I did in years past I still get a few but don’t see as many gun season last to long

It’ll be just like it is in Europe. Only the rich will be able to hunt. No one lets anyone hunt anymore because they’re all trying to grow big bucks

I am glad ralph is there i got a bone to pick lol i am from louisiana but i own land in arkansas. So i bought a nonresident 3 day hunting license to hunt on my land it cost me 175 dollars for one tag 1 deer is all i could kill so that tells me i am after a buck so i hunted i never saw a buck i saw 13 does 1 button buck so i never shot anything last day i never saw a deer i think they need to make it two tags i am on my own land that i pay taxes on not state land i should get a break for private nonresident hunter on my land

The does in the north missouri have moe fawns then in the ozarks i have never seen a doe in ozarks with three fawns i have in the north several times on different conservation areas

I live in louisiana and i have hunted in missouri at least 7 different times and you guys do a great job i just hope you guys do not raise the prices to high on nonresidents to make up the money lost from lack of hunters

Might not be a bad thing cuz I havnt been seeing shit all year😂

Go to any public land and tell me if it looks like Hunter decline. More than ever!!

Hard to find a spot to deer hunt. The big land owners are asshole that won't let no body on their property and most the small landowners are leasing their ground for crazy high prices. I think the missouri wildlife is over hunted anyway

I would assume they grow faster if there lifespan is that much shorter. Do they cross breed? And why do some smallmouth have no stripes??? I live in tn and i think what im catching are smallmouth, they live in the creeks and the Cumberland, i also catch spotties at the same holes and eddies

Drew is the real deal for sure!

The sea fossils you spoke of are the result of the global flood in Noah's day as recorded in the book of Genesis.

Drew is an awesome guest. I’d like to hear him on a turkey podcast as well

Here’s the issue. As a hunter of over 50 years, I’ve witnessed land consolidation among large corporate farms. One used to be able to get permission to hunt so long as you respected fence/gates and didn’t shoot the cows. Now… well now ‘farmers’ own thousands of acres (my neighbor farms 14,000 acres) thanks to government (taxpayer subsidies), and won’t allow ANYONE to hunt. Many state that they hunt all of it and even though there’s far more deer than they’ll ever harvest, they still say no. It’s their land and I respect that. I will not trespass. This poses challenges to the growing deer population. Times are changing. Land ownership has become unaffordable for most with a select few owning more and more. I don’t think those landowners should get paid for allowing walk in hunting either. Between CRP, price supports, insurance, USDA grants… we’ve already overpaid them to acquire all the land.

It’s not hunter decline!!! It’s conservation removing the deer because they think it’s CWD. So hunters are going elsewhere!

Hey, when, if at all, is the "2nd" rut, in Ozarks and Ouachita's?

Its cheaper to go too the grocery store and bye a steak

Where am I going wrong??? is doe estrus allowed or not in Arkansas?

I learned a lot from this episode fellas. Thank you!
