Never Take This Shot! The Quartering Angle That Almost Ruined My Season | 100% WILD Podcast Ep. 484
Thursday, 22 October, 2026
Never Take This Shot! The Quartering Angle That Almost Ruined My Season | 100% WILD Podcast Ep. 484 In this episode of the 100% WILD Podcast, Matt Drury and Tim Kjellesvik get real about the gritty, high-pressure world of suburban bowhunting and small-parcel whitetail management. Tim breaks down the hunt where he punched his early-season Missouri buck tag on a tiny six-acre strip of timber backing up to a power line corridor. Hunting a massive 30.48 barometric pressure cold-front spike, Tim executed a 27-yard shot on an un-patterned mature buck, only to face every hunter's worst nightmare: bumping the wounded deer from its bed eight hours later. He details the painstaking morning recovery with his buddy Tony Cantrell, the effectiveness of the gutless method on field-dressed game, and why bowhunters need to ditch risky heart shots in favor of dependable, high-percentage double-lung shot placement. The conversation turns to the emotional reality of mentoring youth hunters as Tim recounts taking his 14-year-old daughter Sophie into the timber with a compound bow. Sophie faced the extreme emotional swings of archery within a single sit—navigating a difficult, rushed quartering shot on a mature buck before earning instant redemption 20 minutes later by dropping a large doe. The hosts examine the intense logistics of recovering marginally hit whitetails, including coordinating volunteer search grids through the Rack Pack Facebook group and mobilizing thermal drone deer recovery teams. To close out the show, the guys dive into a crazy "Versus the Internet" news segment exposing a North Dakota archery club president accused of embezzling $183,000 before dramatically withdrawing his guilty plea. 00:00:00 – Blue-Collar Banter: Union Carpenter Humor & Construction Slang 00:03:14 – Getting on the Board: The Unique Reality of Suburban Deer Hunting 00:06:00 – Hunting 2-Minute Transition Corridors Across Small Parcels 00:08:55 – The 30.48 Barometer Surge: Cold Front Daytime Whitetail Movement 00:11:45 – Oak Tree Silhouettes & Early-Season DeerCast Movement Ratings 00:13:35 – The 27-Yard Shot: Managing Quartering-To Angles at Full Draw 00:15:30 – Watching the Bedded Buck: A 40-Minute Binocular Staredown 00:18:45 – THE WORST NIGHTMARE: Bumping a Wounded Buck After 8 Hours 00:21:40 – Blood Trailing Fat Chunks & Recovering the Crashed Whitetail 00:24:35 – "Two-Face" Scavenger Chews & Utilizing the Gutless Method 00:26:30 – Heart Shot vs. Double Lung: The Fatal Shot-Angle Debate 00:28:10 – Doing It on Your Terms: Terry Drury's Hunting Wisdom 00:35:15 – Sophie's Hunt: Mentoring a 14-Year-Old Compound Bowhunter 00:39:15 – The 18-Yard Buck Encounter: Rushed Full Draw & The Hard Quarter 00:41:55 – Instant Redemption: Dropping a Big Doe 20 Minutes Later 00:44:20 – Teaching Hunting Ethics: Empathy, Decisions, and Hard Lessons 00:48:05 – Mobilizing Thermal Drones: Rack Pack Grid Searches with Recon 1 LLC 00:51:40 – Thermal Drones vs. Bloodhounds on Marginal Gut Hits 00:54:50 – VERSUS THE INTERNET: Archery Club President Embezzles $183,000! 00:58:20 – Withdrawing the Guilty Plea: Minot, North Dakota Courtroom Drama 01:00:25 – Rack Pack Facebook Community & Funny Member Names 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...
