Lessons from a Lifetime Outdoors: Deer Hunting with James White
In today’s digital age, many hunters rely on platforms such as YouTube, podcasts, and trail cameras. However, Alabama hunter James White learned the art of deer hunting in a much different way—by observing squirrels in the wild.
In our exclusive interview, James shares insights from his upbringing in the 1950s and 60s, where he honed his hunting skills through a combination of woodsmanship, keen observation, and countless hours spent in nature. Discover how James learned about deer behavior around acorn trees and his innovative hunting techniques using blown-down trees, long before modern tree stands became the norm.
