Matt Drury Harvest Two Big Bucks in 4 Days! | 100% WILD Podcast Ep. 486
In this action-packed rut episode of the 100% WILD Podcast, Matt Drury and Tim Kjellesvik celebrate an unprecedented run of whitetail success across the Midwest. Tim kicks things off with an incredible family hunt on his suburban six-acre honey hole, detailing how his 14-year-old daughter Sophie overcame early-season heartbreak to harvest both a mature buck and a doe in a single morning sit using her compound bow. Tim walks through Sophie's equipment setup, including her low-poundage draw weight, heated cold-weather gear, and expandable cut-on-contact broadheads, explaining how a disciplined focus on double-lung shot placement led to a 60-yard visual crash and the surprising recovery of both animals in heavy cover.
The conversation then shifts to Matt Drury's red-hot streak, where he managed to harvest two mature bucks across two different states in just four days. Matt breaks down his Illinois hunt on an unseasonably heavy frost morning, calling a cruising rut buck into a 20-yard lane before it collapsed steps from the fence line. He follows that up with a wild, sleep-deprived account of spotting a massive 166-inch 6x7 buck on his cell cameras at dinner, scrambling to assemble chairs in a box blind in the dead of night, and executing a lethal 6:45 AM shot over a brassica food plot.
