The 100% Wild Podcast

Season of All Seasons: Jared Gallagher's 212" Double Drop-Tine Giant | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 457

Jared Gallagher joins the show to share the unbelievable story of his 212-inch Missouri giant, a buck so rare it features massive double drop-tines measuring nearly 7 inches each. As a self-described "diehard" hunter who started a construction business just to spend more time in the woods, Jared breaks down the extreme persistence required to track a world-class deer that traveled over two miles between properties. From the emotional rollercoaster of jumping the buck in the early season to the high-stakes "buck alert" that pulled him off a job site on November 3rd, this episode is a masterclass in reading the wind, leveraging mock scrapes, and knowing when to make a move.

Beyond the kill, Jared, Matt, and Tim dive into the tactical side of big buck success, discussing the "game-changing" impact of radish food plots and the hidden risks of cell camera radio frequencies. They explore the fascinating "Christmas morning" feeling of checking SD cards and the undeniable importance of having an understanding family when chasing "regional celebrity" status in the whitetail world. Whether you're a public land grinder or a small-parcel manager, Jared's story of a 40-inch year-over-year jump in antler growth will give every hunter hope for the next season.

Grandma Lucille is a viral sensation! In this episode of the 100% Wild Podcast, Matt Drury breaks down the hilarious "What the hell was I supposed to do?" moment that racked up over 4 million views after she took a shot while the deer was still moving . We also celebrate a major milestone as Matt's daughter, Lola, harvests her very first buck during the Missouri youth season using a suppressed Winchester 350 Legend over standing beans . From the "unintended comedy" of 92-year-old Lucille in deer camp to the pure excitement of a child's first successful hunt, this episode captures the heart of what makes hunting season special for every generation.

Beyond the highlights, we dive into the heavy-hitting topics affecting hunters today, specifically the controversial $250,000 deer cull in Wildwood, MO. We discuss why the city is hiring sharpshooters and how local bowhunters are fighting to prove they are a more efficient, cost-effective solution for suburban management . We also break down late-season tactics for hunting the "vast wasteland" of winter, the reality of "buck fever," and a candid debate on the MDC and NDA's stance on moon phase science versus what we actually see in the woods .

Rattling in a MASSIVE Iowa Buck: Biggest Deer of My Life! | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 452

As November's rut action explodes, hosts Matt and Tim welcome Drury Outdoors team members Dave Kramer and Rick Malik to the studio to break down Dave's unbelievable Iowa bow kill. Hunting near a steep bluff on his cousin Carter's beautiful property, Dave and Rick strategically chose a stand half a mile from the massive buck's core area based on a perfect wind. The rut action was immediate, with the deer counting upwards of 30 bucks by mid-morning. Despite Dave's reluctance to call, Rick persuaded him to try rattling , which proved to be the pivotal moment. Within seconds, the 6.5-year-old giant, affectionately known as "Ed Jones," charged out of the thicket and stopped at 20 yards.

The incredible footage captures the chaos as Rick battled to film the rapidly moving deer, shouting updates while dealing with trees. Dave, at full draw, waited for the massive deer to clear the limbs and executed the shot on his personal biggest buck with any weapon. The shot was successful, and the celebration was shared immediately. Dave and Rick share the full story of this spectacular hunt, Rick's "I told you so" moment , and their attempt to enter the "Ring of Honor" by winning "Producer of the Year" for the third straight time.
