    Never Take This Shot! The Quartering Angle That Almost Ruined My Season | 100% WILD Podcast Ep. 484

    Never Take This Shot! The Quartering Angle That Almost Ruined My Season | 100% WILD Podcast Ep. 484 In this episode of the 100% WILD Podcast, Matt Drury and Tim Kjellesvik get real about the gritty, high-pressure world of suburban bowhunting and small-parcel whitetail management. Tim breaks down the hunt where he punched his early-season Missouri buck tag on a tiny six-acre strip of timber backing up to a power line corridor. Hunting a massive 30.48 barometric pressure cold-front spike, Tim executed a 27-yard shot on an un-patterned mature buck, only to face every hunter's worst nightmare: bumping the wounded deer from its bed eight hours later. He details the painstaking morning recovery with his buddy Tony Cantrell, the effectiveness of the gutless method on field-dressed game, and why bowhunters need to ditch risky heart shots in favor of dependable, high-percentage double-lung shot placement. The conversation turns to the emotional reality of mentoring youth hunters as Tim recounts taking his 14-year-old daughter Sophie into the timber with a compound bow. Sophie faced the extreme emotional swings of archery within a single sit—navigating a difficult, rushed quartering shot on a mature buck before earning instant redemption 20 minutes later by dropping a large doe. The hosts examine the intense logistics of recovering marginally hit whitetails, including coordinating volunteer search grids through the Rack Pack Facebook group and mobilizing thermal drone deer recovery teams. To close out the show, the guys dive into a crazy "Versus the Internet" news segment exposing a North Dakota archery club president accused of embezzling $183,000 before dramatically withdrawing his guilty plea.   00:00:00 – Blue-Collar Banter: Union Carpenter Humor & Construction Slang 00:03:14 – Getting on the Board: The Unique Reality of Suburban Deer Hunting 00:06:00 – Hunting 2-Minute Transition Corridors Across Small Parcels 00:08:55 – The 30.48 Barometer Surge: Cold Front Daytime Whitetail Movement 00:11:45 – Oak Tree Silhouettes & Early-Season DeerCast Movement Ratings 00:13:35 – The 27-Yard Shot: Managing Quartering-To Angles at Full Draw 00:15:30 – Watching the Bedded Buck: A 40-Minute Binocular Staredown 00:18:45 – THE WORST NIGHTMARE: Bumping a Wounded Buck After 8 Hours 00:21:40 – Blood Trailing Fat Chunks & Recovering the Crashed Whitetail 00:24:35 – "Two-Face" Scavenger Chews & Utilizing the Gutless Method 00:26:30 – Heart Shot vs. Double Lung: The Fatal Shot-Angle Debate 00:28:10 – Doing It on Your Terms: Terry Drury's Hunting Wisdom 00:35:15 – Sophie's Hunt: Mentoring a 14-Year-Old Compound Bowhunter 00:39:15 – The 18-Yard Buck Encounter: Rushed Full Draw & The Hard Quarter 00:41:55 – Instant Redemption: Dropping a Big Doe 20 Minutes Later 00:44:20 – Teaching Hunting Ethics: Empathy, Decisions, and Hard Lessons 00:48:05 – Mobilizing Thermal Drones: Rack Pack Grid Searches with Recon 1 LLC 00:51:40 – Thermal Drones vs. Bloodhounds on Marginal Gut Hits 00:54:50 – VERSUS THE INTERNET: Archery Club President Embezzles $183,000! 00:58:20 – Withdrawing the Guilty Plea: Minot, North Dakota Courtroom Drama 01:00:25 – Rack Pack Facebook Community & Funny Member Names   Join the Rack Pack Facebook Group :/ n73gskjt7bfb2ngc   Get ahead of your Game with DeerCast available on iOS and Android devices App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/deerc...

    How a Cell Cam Photo at Dawn Led to a 203" Giant by Sunset | 100% WILD Podcast Ep. 483

    How a Cell Cam Photo at Dawn Led to a 203" Giant by Sunset | 100% WILD Podcast Ep. 483 In this episode of the 100% WILD Podcast, Matt Drury and Tim Kjellesvik examine the ultimate hunting dream with Tyler Hamlin who shares the unbelievable harvest story of a lifetime, tagging an absolute monster 203 1/8" non-typical Kansas whitetail on opening week. Tyler recounts the shock of checking his cell cameras that morning, spotting a massive, unfamiliar buck bedded tight to a buddy's farm, and immediately clearing his schedule to slip into a tower blind by 4:00 PM. Within 90 minutes of his sit, the giant walked in broadside at just 20 yards, creating an instant early-season recovery. The crew analyzes the aftermath and psychology of harvesting a world-class buck, including the local rumor mills and property politics that inevitably ignite when a 200-inch buck hits the dirt. Tyler shows off the jaw-dropping rack on video, highlighting an outrageous 14x7 point frame, massive tine length, and a bizarre third main beam. Matt Drury draws comparisons to legendary Drury Outdoors hunts, recalling the celebration when Mark Drury harvested his iconic 197-inch buck and celebrated at the Dew Drop Inn. The episode rounds out with a breakdown of small-parcel trail camera density, Kansas single-buck tag limitations, and a rapid-fire trivia challenge.   00:00:08 – Studio 483: What if Deer Season Only Lasted 90 Minutes? 00:01:30 – Introducing Tyler Hamlin: The 203 1/8" Kansas Whitetail Giant 00:03:48 – The 200-Inch Fallout: Rumor Mills & Neighborhood Politics Over Monster Bucks 00:06:21 – Exploding Antler Growth: Did This Buck Jump 70 Inches in One Season? 00:07:30 – The Dawn Cell Cam Shock: Dropping Everything to Hunt the Morning Intel 00:09:15 – Tower Blind Positioning: Setting Up on a Friend's Kansas Farm 00:11:45 – Trail Camera Strategy: Why 1 Camera Every 10 Acres Still Misses Deer 00:13:30 – Stepping Out in Daylight: Spotting the Monarch at 30 Yards 00:16:35 – The 20-Yard Execution: Executing the Broadside Shot from the Blind 00:18:26 – The Sound of Approaching Hooves: Navigating the Doppler Effect in the Timber 00:20:38 – Walking Up on the Deer: Ground Shrink vs. Massive Ground Growth 00:24:20 – How to Celebrate a 200-Incher: Memories of Mark Drury's 197" Buck at Dew Drop Inn 00:27:50 – SHOWING THE RACK: The 14x7 Point Frame & Wild Third Main Beam 00:30:13 – Kansas Tag Rules: What Do You Do When You're Tagged Out in September? 00:33:19 – Mossy Oak Gamekeepers: Enhancing Small-Parcel Habitat & Security Trails 00:37:38 – 60-Second Trivia Challenge: Antler Velvet, Foot Glands & Boone and Crockett Minimums 00:40:40 – Early-Season Recovery Dangers: Coyotes Reaching Downed Deer in 30 Minutes   Join the Rack Pack Facebook Group :/ n73gskjt7bfb2ngc   Get ahead of your Game with DeerCast available on iOS and Android devices App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/deerc...

    Silently Stalking a Giant Public Land Bull | 100% WILD Podcast Ep. 477

    Silently Stalking a Giant Public Land Bull | 100% WILD Podcast Ep. 477 In this episode of the 100% WILD Podcast, Matt Drury and Tim Kjellesvik sit down with special in-studio guest Jake Arvold from 1st Phorm Outdoors (host of The Experience More Podcast) to break down Western big game prep and backcountry land management. Jake shares his unique background growing up on a northern Wisconsin elk ranch before detailing how he built the 1st Phorm Outdoors brand to connect fitness, nutrition, and hunting. He delivers a masterclass on e-scouting DIY public land elk hunts across states like Colorado and Idaho, demonstrating how to use digital mapping apps to pinpoint steep topography, hog's backs, hidden benches, and water runoffs where mature bulls evade human pressure. The crew dives deep into Western thermals, explaining why mountain wind consistently pulls toward cool water sources and how hunters can move silently through tight contour lines without getting busted. Jake's discusses his harrowing solo DIY elk hunt in the Colorado wilderness. After his wife Tina and 10-month-old daughter Aurora dropped him off at a steep trailhead, Jake silently stalked a massive herd bull, pinwheeling it four times between 28 and 60 yards. He details the terrifying aftermath of an 187-pound pack-out in total darkness, where slipping off a deadfall log threw him eight feet down a slope, leaving him injured until fellow hunters stepped in to help. Rounding out the show, the hosts explore the 1st Phorm App's custom backcountry fitness protocols (Mountain Proof 2.0 and Camp Protocol), VO2 max metrics for longevity, Missouri's upcoming bear tag season, and a rapid-fire "This or That" round on early-season whitetail tactics.   00:00:00 – Summer Recap: Welcoming Jake from 1st Phorm Outdoors 00:01:06 – Road Warrior Life: Total Archery Challenge (TAC) & Outdoor Events 00:03:42 – Building 1st Phorm Outdoors: Supplement Tools for Backcountry Athletes 00:07:16 – Growing Up on a Wisconsin Elk Ranch: Raising World-Class Bulls 00:09:40 – Western Big Game Mindset: Over-The-Counter (OTC) vs. State Draw Systems 00:17:03 – E-Scouting Blueprint: Locating Hog's Backs, Pockets & Steep Topo Benches 00:22:12 – Thermals & Wind Science: Why Mountain Air Always Pulls to Cool Water 00:24:41 – Elk vs. Whitetail Tactics: Sound, Vision, and Moving Through Heavy Cover 00:28:50 – The Solo Colorado Elk Hunt: Family Trailhead Drop-Offs with a 10-Month-Old 00:33:17 – Concrete Slab Fire Towers & Surviving Mountain Rainstorms 00:38:14 – Bypassing Hunter Pressure: Climbing 500ft Vertical Off Roadside Guts 00:41:30 – Silently Stalking the Herd Bull: 4 Rapid-Fire Arrows at 28–60 Yards 00:46:08 – The 187lb Pack-Out Disaster: Falling 8 Feet Off a Deadfall Log in the Dark 00:51:30 – Backcountry Brotherhood: Calling Late-Night Pack-Out Support 00:57:32 – 1st Phorm App Workouts: Mountain Proof 2.0 & Camp Protocol Programs 01:04:33 – Post-Workout Mountain Nutrition: Fueling Calorie Deficits with Formula 1 01:08:45 – Longevity & VO2 Max: Muscle Mass, Health Shifts, and Passing the Heritage 01:23:27 – This or That: Early Season Whitetail Strategy Edition 01:27:46 – Bass Pro Sunset Hills Fall Classic Preview with Matt & Terry Drury 01:31:23 – Drawing Missouri Bear Tags & The Real Name for a Group of Bears   Join the Rack Pack Facebook Group :/ n73gskjt7bfb2ngc   Get ahead of your Game with DeerCast available on iOS and Android devices App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/deerc...

About

Ever feel like we take ourselves too seriously as hunters? Matt Drury and Tim Kjellesvik are changing that with The 100% Wild Podcast...and a sound board loaded with questionable decisions. Armed with a sense of humor stuck in junior high, each week the boys cut up about their hunting misadventures and balance out their relative ignorance with expert guests who actually know what they're talking about. Get on the show and make your hunting buddies jealous by submitting a Question of the Day and see how the public school system failed Matt in the Wildlife Word segment! Watch 100% Wild on DeerCast, or subscribe to the audio version on the podcast platform of your choice! Just one listen and we guarantee you'll be saying, "How do these guys have a show...I gotta tune in next week!"
