Southern Ground | Mid Season Update & Preparing For The Rut

Posted from: https://audio.simplecast.com/aa85cf49.mp3

Welcome to the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast and thanks for tuning in! On this episode, Parker and Michael are recapping their Alabama seasons so far, and discussing the realities of hunting on public land. The season has been very different for both Parker & Michael. They go into detail about some of the expectations they had going into the season, and how they have evolved as the season has progressed. Hunting on public land is a different ball game. Not only do you have to outsmart the deer, but you also have to outsmart other hunters. It’s a harsh reality, but it’s what makes you keep coming back for more.

As the rut gets closer, Parker and Mike talk about their preparations to make the most of this magical time of year. The morning of this recording, Parker shot a buck that was showing definite signs of a rutting whitetail. You’re not only going to get to hear the story of this buck, but also what he plans to do with that intel to help him make the most of his last remaining buck tag.

Topics Discussed:

Public Land disappointment
Hunting in low deer density areas
Keeping your priorities straight during deer season
Changing season goals
Alabama’s strange rut
Parker’s 2nd filled buck tag
Mike’s tough season

Applications:

Don’t be afraid to change your game plan on public land
Hunt for the experience that YOU want to have.
Don’t worry about other people’s opinions.
If you’re not seeing buck sign… MOVE!
Don’t let deer hunting get in the way of your family.

The 6 Things You Need to Start Ice Fishing

https://www.wideopenspaces.com/the-6-things-you-need-to-start-ice-fishing/

If you want to start ice fishing, you’re going to need to buy a few things first.

Ice fishing is very popular in the United States, particularly up north. However, it requires a lot of gear you’d never use while fishing for bass or catfish.

The niche nature of ice fishing can be both appealing and intimidating for new anglers, as there’s just so much to learn.

Luckily for you, we’re here to break down which items are the most important when you’re getting started, and what specific products will get the job done at a fair price.

1. 13 Fishing One3 Heatwave Ice Fishing Combo

For only $15.99, you can have a solid all-around ice fishing rod-and-reel combo. As you may already know, you don’t need a lot of rod to ice fish; you just need something that’ll hold up through the elements.

The Heatwave features a fiberglass blank, stainless-steel guides with polished inserts, a Tennessee EVA handle, a contoured handle knob, a one-bearing reel, and a lightweight body and rotor made from graphite.

Options range from a 24-inch, ultralight action rod all the way up to 28-inch, medium-action. And, for this price, you could buy a couple different ones to give yourself options!

Tip-ups are another popular route people take, which offer the ability to cover more ground at once.

2. ION X Electric Ice Auger

Chances are, the first few times you go ice fishing, you’ll probably be with someone who has an ice auger. If that is the case, capitalize on that for as long as you can; augers are expensive!

At some point, though, you’re going to have to invest in your own. When you do, it’s important you invest in one that’s reliable.

One of the most convenient things about the ION X is its weight. At only 22 pounds, you can easily haul this to any spot you want to fish.

It also features a high-performing, brushless electric motor, which means you don’t have deal with all the drawbacks of gasoline, such as fumes and spillage. Powering the motor is a high-power XC5 5ah 40V lithium-ion battery, which will power you through as many holes as you’ll need to drill in a day.

Its Straight-Through™ blade design and quick-stop brake allow for clean cuts and minimal catches or “hang-ups.”

3. Shappell Jet Ice Fishing Sled

As you’ll quickly realize as you begin accumulating gear, you’re going to have a lot of stuff to haul out to your spot. Rarely is it cold enough to drive a truck out onto the ice, so you’re going to need a way to take everything out there. A sled is a great way to do that.

The Shappell Jet features strong polyethylene that won’t bent or warp with a heavy load, and it comes with a strong tow rope, too.

4. Guide Gear Fully Insulated Ice Fishing Shelter

If you want to do it big, you’re going to need to get an insulated shelter. Many ice anglers will sleep in these, but there nice to have just to stay warm. There’s nothing more miserable that fishing in below-freezing temperatures with nowhere to go to warm up.

This 6X6 Guide Gear ice shanty comfortably accommodates three people at a time, and its pop-up design makes it incredibly easy to set up. It features a 300D shell, as well as an 8.5-inch integrated snow skirt, which will keep you nice and warm. Although, it never hurts to bring a thermal floor and a space heater if it’s especially cold.

It also sports six windows, four tie-down spots, and two exhaust vents.

5. IceArmor Insulated Waterproof Bibs

When you were a kid, did you ever go sledding in blue jeans? Remember when the snow and ice started to melt, leaving you with soaking wet pants and freezing cold legs? Well, ice fishing is no different. As you’re working and maneuvering around your setup, you’re inevitably going to end up with snow and ice on your clothes.

If there’s anything every ice fisherman can agree on, it’s that staying dry is always a top priority. So, the best way to do that is with a durable pair of waterproof bibs, and these are a great option.

Running at $199.99, the IceArmor bibs feature a 300-denier waterproof, windproof shell and 1,000-denier ballistic nylon knees, which you will learn to appreciate in no time.

6. Vexilar FLX-20 Genz Pack Flasher Fishfinder with 12-Degree Ice-Ducer

When you’re ready to get serious about ice fishing, this is the next move. This product not only offers ice fishermen a way to neatly organize your gear, but also an edge in finding fish. Since you can’t move your line while you’re fishing, the only thing you can adjust is your depth. This gadget right here will help you find the hot spots beneath you, and will make a world of difference in the number of fish you catch.

It features a FLX-20™ flasher with two AutoZoom zones, a 12-volt 9 amp-hour battery and charger and a patented 12-degree Ice-Ducer® system.

Whether you’re fishing for northern pike or lake trout out on your favorite frozen lake, this piece of ice fishing gear is well worth the investment.

10 Great Holiday Hunting and Fishing Memes

https://www.wideopenspaces.com/10-great-holiday-hunting-and-fishing-memes/

Here are 10 hunting and fishing memes that essentially sum up the holiday season.

The holiday season is up on us. Thanksgiving is passed and Christmas is on the horizon. Hunting season is still very much going on and certain fishing fanatics are out on the water whether they’re bass fishing or ice fishing.

Therefore, we picked out several great hunting and fishing memes that we can all laugh at this time of year. How many can you relate to?

1. The “I slept-in” meme

I’m sure at one point or another this hunting humor has been reality. We probably hit our alarm one or twice or just decided to sleep in all together. The next time we check a trail camera, low and behold, a giant buck was standing by our treestand.

2. The “Santa Fishing” Meme

This is in line for one of the best fishing memes out there. It’s a classic Santa costume with the angler wearing Bass Pro Shops gear and fishing with a baitcast reel. Whoever chose this costume for a day of fishing is a better man than I.

3. The “Squirrel” meme

Words don’t even need to be said to know how true these humorous words are.

4. The “Treestand” Meme

This hysterical deer hunting meme takes words literally. Has anyone actually done this before? Either way, next time your wife asks you to get a treestand, don’t argue.

5. The “Christmas Lights” meme

This is genius, so we had to include it. Naturally a hunter staged this. It’s not your everyday strand of Christmas lights.

6. The “Amateur” meme

This ranks up there when someone asks, “Did you catch any deer?” (Cue eye roll).

7. The “Sling Blade” meme

“I reckon so.” This classic Sling Blade humor has basically broken the internet. There’s been so many uses from this one picture. Nonetheless, it’s still hilarious.

8. The “Crazy Baby” Meme

If you can relate, raise your hand. This meme is priceless. ‘Tis the season for holiday shopping!

9. The “Ice Fishing” meme

Out of all the hysterical fishing memes, this is one of the best. Has anyone told their friend or significant other this? It’s all about your perspective, I suppose.

10. The “Deer Cooler” meme

To wrap it all up, here’s a funny hunting photo of Santa’s reindeer in a deer cooler. For those of us that love hunting this warrants a chuckle. However, you probably shouldn’t show this to the kids.

With the expansion of social media and our time spent on it, these funny hunting and fishing pictures help reflect just a few of the emotions we feel throughout the holiday season. Whether we’re itching to get out in the woods during hunting season or dying to go ice fishing in the bitter cold, we can always find a meme to give us a good laugh.
