The 100% Wild Podcast

2d ago

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 . This episode features gear designed for success, including DeerCast for movement prediction, Muddy Blinds, and Bog Pods for the perfect shot. 01:41 – Hunting the "vast wasteland" of the late season 03:13 – Caught on Time-Lapse: Mature bucks sparring 05:22 – Milestone Hunt: Lola harvests her very first buck 08:45 – 92-Year-Old Lucille: The hilarious reality of deer hunting 11:11 – The Ultimate Youth Setup: Winchester 350 Legend & Suppressors 13:33 – Clutch Shot: Lola's success under pressure 15:45 – Managing "Buck Fever" and the importance of youth results 21:16 – NASP Archery: Getting kids involved in school shooting sports 24:45 – The $250,000 Debate: Suburban deer culling in Wildwood, MO 34:10 – Management Debates: Moon phase science vs. real-world history 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...

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.
