It Charged Me! Chaos Tracking a 208" Giant | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 459 Warren McDonald joins the show to share the unbelievable journey of his 208 5/8-inch Indiana monster whitetail, a world-class buck with a massive paddle-like drop tine. This legend led Warren on a tactical chase. Warren reveals the absolute chaos of the harvest, from a 3-yard spinning shot to a series of follow-up shots in giant weeds that resulted in the deer charging him. Beyond the hunt, we dive into the giants movement in a 6.5-mile loop every four days and why planting turnips was the key to bringing this deer back after a two-year disappearance . Warren breaks down his unique use of DeerCast to look for changing weather and explains how he navigated intense social media drama and accusations of trespassing after posting the harvest photos. We also explore the importance of documentation. 05:31 – Meeting Indiana Hunter Warren McDonald 08:12 – Giant Tracker: The 208 5/8" Monster with the Paddle Drop Tine 11:40 – Food Plot Shifts: Why Turnips Brought the Legend Back 14:30 – DeerCast Strategy: Hunting "The Change" and Moon Phases 1 7:15 – Travel Cycles: Patterning a Deer on a 6.5-Mile Loop 20:45 – Social Media Backlash: Accusations of Trespassing 22:33 – The Harvest: Growls, Roars, and the High-Stakes Charge 25:10 – Forensics of a 3-Yard Shot: Entry, Exit, and Spine Impact 43:09 – Indiana Law Changes: High-Powered Rifles and 30-06 Firepower 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.
