About this listen

In this throwback episode, we sit down with our friend Tony Myers, a veteran Alabama hunter who’s been chasing deer since the 1970s. Tony shares lessons he learned from old-timers in the early days, how deer behavior shifted after dog hunting was banned, and the subtle signs that separate consistent hunters from the rest. We dive into: Early season scouting strategies and why Tony likes to push close before opener. Key deer foods like greenbrier, honeysuckle, and white oaks — and how feeding patterns change through the season. Reading subtle sign, browse lines, and trail intersections most hunters overlook. Stories of chasing mature bucks in low-density areas and the patience it takes to succeed on public land. Tony’s insights on observation, timing, and woodsmanship will help you sharpen your early season game. Got a question for the show?
