A lot of the guests that we feature on this show like to target feed trees to hunt white-tailed deer.

0:04.7

Whether it's hunting white oaks, red oaks, water oaks, not all oaks, whatever the case may be, they all do things a little bit different. But there is one common theme between all of them. And that is, when you're hunting feed trees, you just need to check as many trees as you can, find that fresh hot sign, and set up. That is what's going to give you the best chance at seeing deer or seeing a buck.

0:23.1

Well, there's two different tools you can use that fresh hot sign and set up that is what's going to give you the best chance at seeing deer or seeing a buck well there's two different tools you can use that are seriously helpful for that the first one you've heard us talk about it is the acre and producing oak layer from on x hunt you turn it on it'll show you where the white oaks are at where the red oaks are at where it's mixed red and white oaks now there's's another one that I've used here lately, and it's

0:37.6

the coniferous versus deciduous layer. So it shows you what's pine trees, what's deciduous trees like oaks, and then what's a mix of both. So my new hunting club is mostly pine trees, which if you're hunting in the deep south, a lot of you guys can probably relate to that. But I turn that layer on on my Onex Hunt app, and it showed some areas of mixed pines and hardwoods that I completely missed just by looking at the satellite image. So I went and popped in, checked those areas out and sure enough found a bunch of white oaks that were kind of interspersed with these pines that are just loaded. So not only do those two layers help me find oaks faster, but it also helps me find the oaks that I'm

1:11.1

overlooking. So go check them out on the Onex Hunt app. And hey, if you want to try out in an elite

1:15.3

membership, use the promo code Southern at checkout. It'll get you 20% off and it helps out the show.

1:20.7

Know where you stand with Onex Hunt. I'm super excited to announce that Vortex just updated their

1:26.3

Crossfire Riflescope line with the Crossfire

1:29.3

HD Riflescopes. These are an improvement over the previous design that delivers sharper detail

1:34.7

improving low-light transmission, giving you a lot more confidence with your hunt. If you're

1:38.6

wanting an effective rifle scope, that gives you great low-light capability without breaking the

1:43.1

bank, check out the new Crossfire HD scope from Vortex. And if you're interesting buying one, you can head over to

1:49.6

Eurooptic.com and use the code Southern 10 for 10% off your order of any vortex optics. When you

1:57.4

get into saddle hunting, most people think of comfort coming directly from the saddle itself.

2:01.9

And while that is true, another extremely important factor is having a great platform that gives you a lot of comfort whether you're a leaner or you like to sit in your saddle.

2:11.5

We've been really impressive over the last year using the profile saddle platform from latitude outdoors.

2:17.0

This platform is the perfect mix of

2:19.4

compact but having the perfect ergonomics to keep you comfortable all day long, especially if you like

2:25.1

leaning on the platform. With the angled front of the platform, that gives you a lot more surface

2:29.2

area with your leaner, to great packability from being extremely compact and folding itself.

2:35.0

It's been a great addition to us over the last year using it.

2:38.0

So if you're looking at getting a lightweight, compact, but extremely comfortable saddle platform,
