The Nightmare of Misjudging Yardage on a Bull Elk at Full Draw | 100% WILD Podcast Ep. 480 In this episode of the 100% WILD Podcast, Matt Drury and Tim Kjellesvik kick off the opening of fall hunting seasons with raw, honest discussions on bowhunting mechanics, field mishaps, and current outdoor news. Tim reflects on his previous Dream Season Live hunt analyzing the high-pressure situation of misjudging yardage and giving a 350 class bull elk a haircut at 35 yards while letting down multiple times. Matt discusses his ongoing psychological battle with target panic, detailing the frustrating feeling of sight pins holding four inches low on the target face and sharing specific form adjustments—like lowering the release elbow, to help elevate the bow arm without punching the trigger. The hosts also tackle outrageous stories making headlines across the outdoor community. They break down a terrifying incident in Fenton, Missouri, where an Amazon delivery truck's windshield and packages were pierced by a stray 400 FPS crossbow bolt after a neighbor overshot his target from 100 yards away, sparking a vital conversation about suburban backyard shooting safety and backstops. Additionally, the crew rallies behind a 7 year old girl who faced viral online death threats from an Illinois school employee after sharing a picture of her first dove hunt, before closing out with early season EHD herd health concerns and 70-year-old Terry Drury slalom water-skiing. 00:00:00 – Welcome to Deer Season: Idaho Elk Prep & Studio Catch-Up 00:00:50 – Missed Shots on Camera: Reflecting on Last Year's Idaho Elk Hunt 00:02:00 – I Gave a 350-Inch Bull a Haircut: Misjudging Yardage at Full Draw 00:05:20 – The Unique Pressure of Having Bowhunting Failures Filmed 00:06:26 – Beating Target Panic: Why Your Sight Pin Holds 4 Inches Low 00:08:00 – Bow Form Adjustments: Lowering Your Release Elbow for Elevation 00:11:30 – First Deer of the Season: Dragging a Rotting Doe Before a Wedding 00:15:25 – Early-Season EHD Fears: Dead Does Found Near Summer Ponds 00:17:14 – Dove Season Opener: Heatwaves, Social Field Hunts, and Camaraderie 00:18:38 – Anti-Hunter Online Attack: School Employee Threatens 7-Year-Old Girl 00:20:50 – Defending Youth Hunters Against Internet Hate and PETA Attacks 00:30:20 – Late Summer Fun: 70-Year-Old Terry Drury Slalom Water Skiing 00:33:40 – CRAZY LOCAL NEWS: Crossbow Bolt Shoots Through Amazon Van Windshield 00:36:15 – Sighting in Crossbows in Suburbia: Backstops & Target Safety 00:38:50 – Sky Drawing Dangers & Safe Practice Techniques at Home 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...

Originally from Missouri, Josh shares his incredible 12-year journey through Nashville's publishing machine. From writing Brantley Gilbert's hit "What Happens in a Small Town" to collaborating with Morgan Wallen and driving ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons to Carrabba's in a beat-up Pathfinder. The guys break down the evolution of modern country music, "bro-country," and how hunting culture, backroads, and 20-pound fishing line constantly inspire mainstream lyrics. Beyond songwriting secrets, Josh dives into his passion for public land whitetail hunting in Tennessee. He recounts how a DeerCast "Green Light" prediction convinced him to head to the woods leading to an incredible public land buck harvest using the Mad Growl call. Josh then sings a live acoustic performance of an unreleased song dedicated to his late father, honoring the emotional bond of missing your primary hunting partner when fall arrives. 00:00:00 – Welcome to Bass Pro Studios: Pre-Season Prep & Country Music 00:00:32 – Introducing Hit Country Songwriter Josh Dunne 00:02:40 – Writing "Give Away the Farm" Inspired by Drury Outdoors 00:04:05 – "What Happens in a Small Town": Scoring a #1 Hit with Brantley Gilbert 00:05:10 – Inside the Nashville Songwriting Machine: Writer Shares vs. Publishing 00:08:45 – The Evolution of "Bro-Country" & Mainstream Country Music 00:13:30 – How Hunting, Fishing, and Mono Line Inspire Country Lyrics 00:16:10 – Writing Rooms with Morgan Wallen & ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons 00:18:25 – The Carrabba's Story: Driving Billy Gibbons in a Beat-Up Pathfinder 00:20:42 – Outdoor Channel "Whitetail Legends" Poster Drama & Internet Trolls 00:25:15 – "Nepo Babies" in Music and the Outdoor Industry 00:31:35 – Meeting Matt Drury's Aunt Nancy on Broadway in 2009 00:33:40 – Losing Your First-Call Hunting Partner: Writing Songs for Dad 00:39:50 – Josh Dunne's Biggest Whitetail: The Small-Rack, Big-Memories Wall 00:41:30 – DeerCast Green Light: Tagging a 130" Tennessee Public Land Buck 00:49:00 – LIVE PERFORMANCE: Josh Dunne Plays His Heartfelt Hunting Tribute Song 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...

Number 4: Is It Legal? The Controversial Laws Threatening Thermal Drone Recovery | 100% WILD Podcast Ep. 476
Is It Legal? The Controversial Laws Threatening Thermal Drone Recovery | 100% WILD Podcast Ep. 476 In this episode of the 100% WILD Podcast, Matt Drury and Tim Kjellesvik sit down with Jack Huston from Midwest Deer Surveys to unpack the rapidly evolving world of thermal drone deer recovery and biological land mapping. Jack shares insane firsthand accounts from his time in the sky. The crew dives deep into the physics behind thermal imaging, explaining exactly how long a dead whitetail's heat signature remains visible on a commercial screen, even days after a marginal shot. They also address the sticky legal landscape of drone tracking laws across states like Illinois, Iowa, and Kansas, versus the legal framework in Missouri. Beyond blood trailing, this episode serves as a comprehensive masterclass in whitetail deer habitat management and herd dynamics. Jack breaks down what he calls "density rings," revealing the shocking "hermit behavior" of mature bucks that entirely avoid overcrowded timber tracts in favor of low-stress, secondary cover like drainage ditches. Landowners looking to maximize their property's holding capacity will learn why Timber Stand Improvement (TSI) is the absolute number one tool for security cover, and how to optimize their trail camera setup using precise density ratios. From crazy wildlife footage of a Missouri mountain lion stalking deer to Jack's revolutionary new anti-poaching drone detection system, this conversation completely redefines modern scouting strategy. 00:00:00 – Intro: Unpacking Whitetail Shot Placement & Recovery Debates 00:01:06 – How Midwest Deer Surveys Pivoted into Biological Drone Mapping 00:02:31 – Urban Hunting Shock: Finding a Crossbow Hunter Huddled in a Tree 00:03:18 – Getting Shot At: The Legal Dangers & Felonies of Shooting Down Drones 00:04:46 – The Science of Thermals: How Many Days Does a Heat Signature Last? 00:05:52 – Landowner Boundaries: Navigating Suburban Permissions on Foot 00:08:37 – Terminal Ballistics: Mechanical Broadheads vs. Fixed Blades 00:10:31 – The Will to Live: How Far Wounded Bucks Push into Heavy Cover 00:11:26 – The Crossbow Epidemic: Why Archery Tracking Requests are Skyrocketing 00:14:18 – Whitetail Behavior Patterns: Do Tracked Deer Double Back to Home Ranges? 00:15:25 – Gridding Search Areas vs. Peak Thermal Weather Conditions 00:16:46 – Caught on Camera: A Missouri Mountain Lion Stalking Deer from 700ft 00:19:33 – Travel Corridors: Missouri Black Bears and Loose Kangaroos 00:24:02 – Busting Trespassers: The New Drone Detection System for Landowners 00:25:29 – Fighting Back Against Sophisticated High-Tech Shed Poachers 00:27:31 – Airspace Legalities: Can a Neighbor Legally Spy on Your Food Plots? 00:29:13 – Working with Law Enforcement to Track Serial Numbers & Flight Patterns 00:32:09 – Designing an Accurate 300-Acre Sample Matrix for Herd Density 00:33:39 – Commercial Drone Capabilities: Laser Pinpoints & Real-Time Mapping 00:36:46 – The 5-Year Leap: How a Giant Whitetail Added 60 Inches in One Season 00:41:32 – Old School vs. New School: Thermal Drones vs. Tracking Dogs 00:43:36 – The Legend of Tracker John: Bloodhound Tracking Masterclass 00:49:12 – Leveraging DeerCast Track Metrics to Predict Wounded Game Patterns 00:51:58 – Density Rings Explained: Where Do Hermit Bucks Actually Hide? 00:58:50 – Low-Stress Whitetail Herds: Why Hunters Must Shoot More Does 01:00:16 – Timber Stand Improvement (TSI): The #1 Move to Hold Big Deer 01:02:17 – Trail Camera Ratios: What is the Ideal Camera-to-Acre Density?
