807 - The Deer Hunting Debates Nobody Can Agree On

This week we’re diving into your hottest deer hunting takes and answering some of the biggest questions from The Southern Outdoorsmen community. From crossbows and dog hunting to cell cameras, persimmons, and deer behavior, we tackle some of the most controversial topics we’ve discussed in a while.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Should crossbows have their own season?
• Are Southern gun seasons too long?
• Should dog hunting be allowed on public land?
• Are mature bucks more wary of cell cameras than standard trail cameras?
• Do ozone products and scent control actually work?
• Are persimmon trees overrated as a hunting food source?
• Can terrain ever be too steep for deer?
• What do deer eat in hardwood bottoms besides acorns?
• Should public land have statewide antler restrictions?
• The biggest lessons we’ve learned that changed the way we hunt over the last five years.
• Is modern deer hunting losing the traditions that made it special?

We’d love to hear your thoughts on these topics. Join the discussion in our Circle community and let us know where you agree—and where you think we’re completely wrong.
