You know, cell cameras are super popular these days. I use them. Jacob uses them. I know a lot of you guys use them as well.

0:05.9

Let me tell you something that will save you a little bit of a headache when it comes to cell cameras. That is the cell coverage layer from Onex Hunt. You can turn that layer on and view how the cell coverage is on any property or even certain parts of properties. Now that's helpful for cell cameras because I might be going to an area where I want to put a camera out and I can just before I leave, go ahead and look at the map, see if I've got good enough cell coverage in there. If it's got cell coverage, okay, I'll bring a cell camera. If it doesn't, all right, bring it a normal camera. I know I've been burned a bunch of times bringing a dagum cell camera somewhere and then getting there and then not having any service that's frustrating well this layer from onex hunt remedies that also it's just useful for

0:42.7

planning trips in general you know knowing whether or not you're going to have cell coverage to

0:46.2

call family in case something goes wrong and then of course also if you see that there's no cell

0:50.5

coverage in an area you know you need to go ahead and download that map for offline use on OnX. If you want to check out that layer and a whole bunch of others from OnX Hunt, go get you an elite membership and use the promo code Southern at checkout. It's going to get you a 20% discount and it's going to help us out here at the Southern Outdoorsman podcast. So you'll go check it out. Stay safe this season and know where you stand with OnX Hunt.

I'm super excited to announce that Vortex just updated their Crossfire Riflescope line with the Crossfire HD rifle scopes.

1:20.0

These are an improvement over the previous design that delivers sharper detail improving low light transmission, giving you a lot more confidence with your hunt.

1:27.2

If you're wanting an effective rifle scope, that gives you great low light capability without

1:31.3

breaking the bank. Check out the new Crossfire HD scope from Vortex. And if you're interesting

1:36.8

buying one, you can head over to Eurooptic.com and use the code Southern 10 for 10% off your

1:43.4

order of any vortex optics. One of the most common questions we get is from people who are looking to get into mobile white tail hunting. They're looking at saddles, but they don't know which one to get. They don't know how to get comfortable on a saddle. And I always recommend the Lone Star saddle from latitudedoors. One thing you'll hear from a lot of people

2:01.0

when they first get into saddle hunting is they deal with a little bit of hip pinch. That's just basically

2:04.7

where you don't have your saddle adjusted right. And so it's kind of pinching your hips when you're

2:08.8

sitting in the tree. It's really uncomfortable. It can take some fine-tuning to get a lot of saddles

2:12.6

right where they're comfortable to sit in. But with that Lone Star saddle, it has a hip-pinch reduction

2:17.5

system built into the saddle. Basically, what that means is that right out of the box, this thing's going to be very, very comfortable, whether you're doing a quick, early-season bow hunt or if you're planning on sitting in that joker all day long in the rut. That Lone Star saddle is personally my favorite saddle, and especially if you're newer getting into saddle hunting and you're looking for something easy and comfortable, check out that

2:37.3

lone star from latitude. is personally my favorite saddle. And especially if you're newer getting into saddle hunting and you're looking for something easy and comfortable, check out that Lone Star from Latitude.

2:38.6

So to go look at the Lone Star and a whole bunch of other mobile white tail gear, check out latitude

2:44.8

Problem is we'll talk to someone and he kind of explains that, but then you talk to someone else.

2:49.0

Oh, no, man. I read this article by Joe Blow, Outdoor Life. He says, don't ever call when they're looking at you. He said, don't ever call loud. You'll scare every deer away. Oh, don't call when there's one. Oh, and don't, man. You get one to stop me. He's looking. Don don't call that's absolutely the wrong advice you better call

3:11.0

you better kind of like my dad said when you hook that bass son keep the line tight don't give him a chance
