The 100% Wild Podcast

Inside Leupold Optics with CEO Bruce Pettet | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 466

In this episode of the 100% Wild Podcast, Matt Drury and Tim Kjellesvik sit down with Bruce Pettet, the President and CEO of Leupold & Stevens, to discuss the cutting edge of hunting optics and technical innovation. Bruce pulls back the curtain on Leupold's relentless product roadmap, highlighting the launch of the VX-4HD rifle scope, which offers top-tier glass and superior low-light performance for under $1,000. We dive into how these optics allow hunters to capitalize on the "moment of truth" during those final critical minutes of legal light.

The conversation shifts to high-end observation gear with a deep dive into the BX-6 rangefinding binoculars, exploring their optically perfect glass and seamless DeerCast integration for pinning waypoints in real-time. Bruce also joins the crew for a round of Optics Mythbusting, debunking common misconceptions about objective lens size and the magnification required for long-range precision.

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.

From 40 Acres to the Modern Rut: Hunting Has Changed | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 450

As November rolls on, Terry stops by the studio to reflect on what deer season means now versus decades past. From the glory days of big deer camps and smoky cabins to the more solitary hunts of today, Matt and Terry dive into how the culture of deer hunting has evolved. Terry shares stories from the "40 Acre Club" and what hunting looked like in the 70s and 80s, while Matt talks about how pressure, responsibility, and age have changed the way they approach the woods.

They also dig into rut predictions, midday movement strategies, and the impact of this year's massive acorn crop. From old-school memories to modern tactics, this episode blends nostalgia and hard-earned wisdom,and reminds everyone to stay safe, wear orange, and enjoy the season.
