In this special episode of Backwoods Life, host Michael Lee sits down with his long-time friend, Todd Clements, to share stories from their youth, growing up hunting, fishing, and living the outdoor lifestyle deep in the South. From early mornings in the deer stand to casting lines in muddy creeks, they talk about how those experiences shaped their love for the outdoors and laid the foundation for their version of the Backwoods Life. It’s a heartfelt, humorous look back at where it all began, and a reminder of why the backwoods way of life runs deep in their veins.

Backwoods Life Podcast Episode 95 - Growing Up In The South

Pull up a chair and pour some sweet tea — this week on the Backwoods Life Podcast, we're talkin' turkey. Baby turkeys, to be exact — or as we call 'em, poults. We’ll cover how they’re faring this season, and what kind of habitat they need.

Then we shift gears to our favorite big woods ghosts: deer. From velvet bucks startin' to show to summer feeding patterns, we're diving deep into what’s goin' on in the whitetail woods right now.

But it ain't all sunshine and game trails. Fire ants are outta control this year, and we’re breaking down just how bad they are for wildlife, land, and even your backyard.

And in the worst kind of wildlife news — Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) has been confirmed again in Georgia. We’ll talk about what this means for hunters, what the state’s doing about it, and how you can help slow the spread.

It’s wild, it’s real, and it’s life in the backwoods. Let’s get to it.
