| 0:00.0 | One thing we talk about with almost every guest on this show is map scouting. My favorite map scouting tool is LIDAR. If you're unfamiliar, LIDAR is basically like a 3D scan of the Earth surface. I like to say it kind of takes away all the surprises. LIDAR is now available on OnX Hunt on their topography map. If you go to your app right now, click on the topography map, you can flip on that LIDAR feature and boom it's going to come on and you're going to see what I'm talking about. |
| 0:24.3 | The LIDAR is going to allow you to see things that are normally hidden from view. This might be ditches, bends in creeks, rocks, old roadbeds. I personally love old roadbeds because deer like to walk them. They're great places to find scrapes. They're great camera locations. And you know before, an old roadbed or an old logging road might be something that you kind of happen upon while you're out scouting or hunting. Well now with the LIDAR, before I go into an area, I can turn on that LIDAR and I can see exactly where those road beds are. Even old logging roads from the 1930s, you can still see them on there. So that allows me to go straight to those spots and check them out. It's just an incredibly helpful tool, and it's available now on Onex Hunt. And hey, if you want to get 20% off your OnX Elite membership, you can use the promo code Southern. Like I said, it's going to save you 20%. Go check out that |
| 1:11.4 | LiDR feature. You'll be glad you did. Know where you stand with OnX Hunt. I'm super excited to |
| 1:15.8 | announce that Vortex just updated their Crossfire Riflescope line with the Crossfire HD |
| 1:22.3 | Riflescopes. These are an improvement over the previous design that delivers sharper detail |
| 1:27.0 | improving low light transmission, giving you a lot more confidence with your hunt. |
| 1:30.7 | If you're wanting an effective rifle scope, that gives you great low-light capability without breaking the bank. |
| 1:35.8 | Check out the new Crossfire HD scope from Vortex. |
| 1:39.4 | And if you're interesting buying one, you can head over to Eurooptic.com and use the code Southern |
| 1:45.1 | 10% off your order of any vortex optics. |
| 1:49.5 | When you get into saddle hunting, most people think of comfort coming directly from this saddle |
| 1:53.6 | itself. |
| 1:54.2 | And while that is true, another extremely important factor is having a great platform that |
| 1:59.9 | gives you a lot of comfort, whether you're a leaner or you like to sit in your saddle. |
| 2:03.8 | We've been really impressive the last year using the profile saddle platform from latitude outdoors. |
| 2:09.2 | This platform is the perfect mix of compact but having the perfect ergonomics to keep you comfortable all day long, |
| 2:16.3 | especially if you like leaning on the |
| 2:18.1 | platform. With the angled front of the platform, that gives you a lot more surface area with |
| 2:21.9 | your leaner, to great packability from being extremely compact and folding inside of itself. |
| 2:27.3 | It's been a great addition to us over the last year using it. So if you're looking at getting |
| 2:31.1 | a lightweight, compact, but extremely comfortable saddle platform, |
| 2:35.0 | check out the profile saddle platform from Latitude Outdoors. |
