What an Awesome Muley Monday we have for you this week. South Cox is someone I have looked up to for years, and honestly the first time I ever interviewed him I was as nervous and excited as if I were stalking a 200 inch buck. Over the last couple of years, I have gotten to know South pretty well, which made jumping on the podcast with him this time a much better podcast. South a legend in when it comes to bowhunting and I love his mindset both on the mountain and off. South recently launched a new video that he has been working on the last couple of years and it turned out amazing! In this episode, we dive into all kinds of high country stalking questions and dilemmas that arise throughout a hunt. We also talk about understanding when to make a stalk, and when not to stalk, which can be that difference between making it happen and a long walk out for nothing. This episode is packed full of little golden nuggets of information throughout. I can’t thank South enough for sharing his knowledge as well as putting out such great content for all of us to drool over.

Today’s podcast brought to you by Solo Targets. Solo Targets are life-sized ultra-realistic 2D targets. I have been obsessed with the solo targets and love the realism of having to pick a spot on an animal and not just shoot a spot. With Solo Targets, you can turn any block target into a realistic hunting scenario for far cheaper than a 3D target. Honestly, I like the realism of the 2D targets overshooting a 3d Target. I also really like that all of the targets are actual life size target which really gives you a feel for looking at that animal at different yardages. I just got the new mule deer buck target and that thing is badass. The target alone will give you buck fever. We set it up in the field with just a small block target behind it which is such a realistic added pressure, if you don’t hit the vitals that arrow is gone. Just that added bit of pressure makes you really hone in on your target. head over to solotargets.com and use The Rich Outdoors code TRO to save 20% off your badass target system.
