Hey everybody thanks for tuning in. A lot of seasons are starting to wind down

0:04.4

or I've already ended in the Midwest or up north but down south there's still a

0:08.9

lot of good hunting to be had. So I like to talk a little bit of southern hunting

0:12.5

this time of the year. That's why I called up Lance Mathers last year about this

0:16.9

time that a podcast with him and I enjoy talking with him about some of the
