Amazing to see how years later this woodsman is moved to tears, humbled and grateful, just thinking about a particular buck. This is an outstanding episode.
This guy is the real deal. Puts all these wanna be deer hunter shows on TV and UA-cam today to shame. He gets it more than most will ever understand while they chase the next 200” whitetail. Thank you for interviewing him. A true woodsman and outdoorsman. The best kind of representation of our HOBBY out there.
Alotta people don't get why this man's gettin choked up over a 130-140" deer, come hunt the Louisiana swamps and see jus how much work and determination it takes to pull one out. It truly is the biggest reward you can work for!
Fellas I hate to tell yall this but yall might as well go ahead and retire because you won’t ever have a better episode and or guest than that guy there. Hands down best show yet
What a Masterpiece! If you can't enjoy listening to Mr Jody, you should just stop trying to look. This man was an absolute JOY to listen to. Salute Gentlemen!
My grandfather passed when I was 11 yrs old. He was a woodsman and sportsman of the kind I cannot describe. Being from Tennessee and spending time in New Orleans, I hear his voice and phrases of speech while listening to Jody talk. 'you know?', 'know what I mean?', and several other turns of speech which are common in LA. It was like listening to my grandpa all over again. Thank you for sharing this interview and thank you to Jody for your witness and being unashamed of the gospel!
Best episode ever. Great perspective on how our dads raised us and taught us how to hunt. Imagine sitting at a hunting camp drinking a cold beer and there are 10-15 men just like him and the stories they told. Again best episode yall have done.
Probably my most favorite Hunting podcast I’ve ever listened to of all time and I’ve listened to a lot and I hunt religiously here in Tennessee. Our bow season open September 28 and we have six days now till our season goes out of January 5th I live in the woods. I bet I’m close to 65 to 70 sits this year. I hope I can speak with this much knowledge some day . Thanks guys
I’m glad to see y’all interviewing some Louisiana hunters. I could listen to Mr Jody tell hunting stories all day. I just moved from south Louisiana to North Carolina. 2 seasons bowhunting in the swamp on public and got nothing. 1 month in North Carolina and I already got my first deer on public. That swamp is like a different world.
Florida hunter here, the swamp is a whole different beast. I have went on a few trips out west and in the Midwest corn fields and it is laughably easy in comparison.
This fellas advice reminds me of my dad’s advice and stories about hunting swamps on public land in Georgia. My dad had a place on wma where he found an island out in the swamp. At low water it would only be a few inches out of the water, but the critters flocked to it to get away from hunter. He would wade into it and tag out on every hunt there and kill plenty of hogs in the process too. I enjoyed the podcast, thanks fellas
Yessir good people down here. This man right here is the type of man you want in your corner when the chips are down in life. His dad grew up on a house boat in the basin that’s a hard life right there. These type of men are a dying breed.
If you can kill a good deer in these places he’s speaking of, you can kill a good deer anywhere. Takes a special person to hunt these swamp deer. Awesome interview!
The fact you get emotional about some of these harvests just tells me how connected to nature you are and a true sportsman. Thank you for sharing such great experiences. God bless you and your family.
Listening to this brought me back to talkin with my late grandpaw. I try to keep my cajun accent as much as possible but its sad that I don't hear it that much any more.
I appreciate you guys bringing these type of hunters on. This is what real deer hunting is about. Not inches, not technology, not doing anything you can to make it as easy as possible to kill the biggest deer possible. This guy is the essence of true deer hunting.
Turned 40, I’m from west Baltimore and never hunted a day in my life. Took our state hunters ed course only to be able to legally purchase a handgun. (Maryland laws) Listening to this man love of the game convinced me to attempt my 1st hunt. We are allowed unlimited deer here. Deer damn near like rats in Baltimore’s region. They begging us to take them. Great episode also my 1st. The algorithm is wild!
This man has alot time in the woods and is very smart about how his time is spent in the woods also. Very good episode. I myself have hunted in the basin and it is not an easy place to navigate. Hats off to you fellas
Being from Lafayette and hunting deer in Louisiana for 47 years, deer hunting here revolves strictly around the P's Pressure People Poachers Predators Pigs The bottom 4 p's all really translate to the first P and that is Pressure, hell the rut dates in area 6 even rut around pressure, the later it gets the better it gets because the deer are waiting for people to clear out the woods. I've got pictures of rubs and scrapes very very fresh and in large numbers in March and even into early April when its been a really mild winter as the warm weather helps them keep their antlers longer are so I've been told Moon phase, rut, feed, etc., you can all but chuck all of that unless your on the big high dollar island clubs in the river like Davis, Giles or Glasscock to name a few or a few other choice properties across the state where land holding is super larger and pressure is super low. Other than that hunt around the P's and you gonna kill. em. The pressure here is like no where in the South.
I have seen fawns here in Florida that couldn't have possibly been sired by a buck with hard horns, the dates just don't add up. I am convinced they will still breed given a doe in estrus.
I hunt the Atchafalaya swamp when the waters high the bucks get on the ridges and easy to kill. Thats why they close the season early during high water
I'm gonna add on to what so many others here are struck by. I don't think there is anything in that house that I admire more than his pure gratitude, humility, passion and appreciation for his experiences. We all got educated here today.
One story reminded me...I overslept at a lease, left about 10:00am and told camp boss I was going to get a deer. We hadn't heard a shot. I took off on 4 wheeler, crossed creek and started setting up a folding chair/net (kinda like Ben Lee). A big buck came running through and I got him, loaded up and back to camp in about 20 minutes from time I left. Camp boss said "I thought you were going to get a deer?" I said I did. He thought I was joking. I said I wasn't. He said "Let's go get it". I told him it was hanging up already. First shot of the day, he just knew I hadn't made to the spot yet. He didn't believe me until everyone else got back.😂 I got lucky...thanked God
I read scripture in the stand this weekend. Lord told me I was in the wrong tree. I moved to another tree. Said a prayer. 30 mins later, the Lord blessed me with a nice 9. Last day of our hunt. God is good. Read scripture, pray, deny the flesh, live in the spirit. Trust me, the Lord will bless you!
As strictly a swamp hunter in Georgia it's crazy how similar me and this fellow think and hunt. Iv told hundreds of people how I don't hunt food plots I like to get deep in a flooded cypress in bottom and ambush them and have killed 2 wall hangers in a flooded cypress bottom with rubs almost underwater and using the water as a early detection method.
@@Floutlaw87got a 8 pointer Saturday after hearing him blow I hit the snort wheeze and he crossed two Creek fingers and came in looking for a fight in belly deep water 💯🤟4 of the 8 points were broken off
Wish I had that around me here in Vermont. I've covered miles of woods and can't find any fresh rubs or scraps. And when I do I fallow it straight into posted land and can never get an opportunity to hunt it. I've knocked on so many doors and everyone says no. So frustrating in vt. Any advice on what to do. I live in franklin county vt. Virtually no public.
I could listen to this guy talk for the rest of my life.
Pause 💀😂
Same
He needs his own podcast
For the first hour I never opened my phone to see the video just listened didn’t bother me one bit lol
A coonass can tell stories all day long
Amazing to see how years later this woodsman is moved to tears, humbled and grateful, just thinking about a particular buck. This is an outstanding episode.
Finally! A point of view from somebody that hunts from my area! It’s so much different than hunting deer up north!
A true Cajun and man of God
This guy is the real deal. Puts all these wanna be deer hunter shows on TV and UA-cam today to shame. He gets it more than most will ever understand while they chase the next 200” whitetail. Thank you for interviewing him. A true woodsman and outdoorsman.
The best kind of representation of our HOBBY out there.
Yep ,so many are in it for all the wrong reasons and just want that picture to post all over the internet..
Alotta people don't get why this man's gettin choked up over a 130-140" deer, come hunt the Louisiana swamps and see jus how much work and determination it takes to pull one out. It truly is the biggest reward you can work for!
Fact

Same here man, my dad grew up hunting in Louisiana and I now live in coastal NC and it’s good to hear some good true southern swamp hunting stories.
Florida hunter here, the swamp is a whole different beast. I have went on a few trips out west and in the Midwest corn fields and it is laughably easy in comparison.
I’m from north Louisiana but have always stuck around big woods and pine thickets, I believe I’ll have to try getting in the swamp this year
@@GraylenGoOutside what area of NC are you hunting ?
@ I’ve only been hunting the archery only areas on Yadkin so far.
Dang definitely one the best podcasts of the year
Favorite episode by far ! I love a good storyteller !!!
Thanks guys
So hard to stand up, draw back, and not get winded. Preach man. Great podcast
Glad you liked it!

Amazing stories Mr Jody deer hunting legend
Love both his passion for hunting as well as Jesus.
Love these pod cast ! Do you have anything on Central Florida WMAs ?
Man what I wouldn’t give to be a part of this guys deer camp
💯One of the best shows👌🏾Enjoyed it fellas, thanks
Gambit was dropping us some aces out of his deck on this one
I would love to see this on a hunting show
Jodie is super awesome and this episode was great. I hate the algorithim.
Best episode yet
I hunt the Atchafalaya swamp when the waters high the bucks get on the ridges and easy to kill. Thats why they close the season early during high water
Awesome episode
Jody can this Georgia boy come hunt some swamp bucks with you? Have bow & Gun and ready to travel!
I'm gonna add on to what so many others here are struck by. I don't think there is anything in that house that I admire more than his pure gratitude, humility, passion and appreciation for his experiences. We all got educated here today.
It's a Breath of Fresh Air in Today's Hunting World. He's the real deal!

He didn't believe me until everyone else got back.😂
I got lucky...thanked God
Amazing podcast guys! Just found it, sub added.
I love it when he said " I give all glory to God in everything I do." 1000%
Riteon on great show
Another video to download!!
🦌🦌🦌🦌
Great podcast. Gotta protect our right to live like we and our ancestors did.
I read scripture in the stand this weekend. Lord told me I was in the wrong tree. I moved to another tree. Said a prayer. 30 mins later, the Lord blessed me with a nice 9. Last day of our hunt. God is good. Read scripture, pray, deny the flesh, live in the spirit. Trust me, the Lord will bless you!
Hard hunting right there
The joy of living with Christ is so evident in this man’s life in this interview!
Dude is awesome

Same down here in Florida. If I ain't in atleast a foot of water I won't even hunt. Big bucks like wet feet.

42:32 gonna record this and play it in the deer woods 😂
Dude definitely has all his natural mouth calls down pat!
Because of Mr Jody, I have called in multiple bucks. It was a blessing to grow up around him and learn about hunting through his experiences
What a guy
