How Zach Houchin Tagged a 200" Kentucky Monster | 100% WILD Podcast Ep. 481 In this episode of the 100% WILD Podcast, Matt Drury is joined by guest co-host Jim Richman (Editor-in-Chief for DeerCast) as they discuss a massive Midwest early-season temperature drop that triggered daytime deer movement across the region. Matt breaks down his recent public land Idaho elk hunting trip alongside MLB legend Adam Wainwright and internet icon Rut Daniels (Bud Fisher). The crew dives into the realities of backcountry elk hunting, discussing camp fellowship, wallo setups, and high-altitude hiking strategy when cold fronts roll through the mountains. The main feature of the show highlights an incredible installment of DeerCast's Giant Tracker series with guest Zach Houchin from Kentucky. Zach shares the full story of harvesting a gross 200-plus-inch non-typical whitetail that exploded in growth from a clean 10-point the previous season, adding over 24 inches including unicorn base points, and 13-inch tines. Zach details how he utilized DeerCast WindCheck to navigate dying evening thermals near soybean and corn field edges, the gamble of passing 4-year-old bucks on smaller acreage, and a harrowing encounter where coyotes began eating a harvested buck just 30 minutes after the shot. 00:00:00 – Midwest Temperature Drops & Early-Season Daylight Deer Movement 00:01:25 – Matt Drury's Idaho Elk Hunt Recap with Adam Wainwright & Rut Daniels 00:03:18 – Introducing DeerCast Giant Tracker: Zach Houchin's 200" Kentucky Buck 00:05:00 – Antler Growth Explosion: Tracking a 10-Point That Added 24 Inches of Trash 00:08:10 – Early-Season Food Sources: Corn Rows, Soybeans & Kentucky Baiting Laws 00:11:35 – DeerCast WindCheck: Navigating Dying Evening Thermals in Early Season 00:14:00 – The 20-Yard Moment: Stepping Out at Sunset on High Barometric Pressure 00:17:40 – Age-Class Debate: Passing 4-Year-Old Bucks vs. Managing Small Tracts 00:24:45 – SHOWING THE RACK: 13-Inch Tines, Unicorn Points & Massive Non-Typical Trash 00:27:30 – The Circle of Trust: Recovery Calls & Walking Up on a 200-Inch Monster 00:33:00 – Tracking Barometric Pressure: How High Barometer Triggers Daylight Giants 00:37:30 – 60-Second Rapid-Fire Trivia: Antler Velvet, Glands & B&C Score Limits 00:40:20 – Coyotes in 30 Minutes: Terrifying Field Night Encounters After the Shot 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...

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...

How to Draw Public Land Western Tags for Elk Hunting without Wasting Years | 100% WILD Podcast 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...

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?
