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?

Inside the Tenth Legion: Colonel Tom Kelly's Legacy with Laura Bates | 100% WILD Podcast Ep. 472 In this episode of the 100% WILD Podcast, Matt Drury and Tim Kjellesvik sit down with Laura Bates, the daughter of the legendary Colonel Tom Kelly. As the turkey hunting community celebrates the Colonel's 99th birthday, we dive deep into the origin of his masterpiece, Tenth Legion, and the brand-new "Bootleg Revival" Limited Editionrelease. Laura shares fascinating stories about the original 1974 unauthorized Xerox copies that fueled the book's underground fame and why it has earned a status comparable to a "religion" among Southern turkey hunters.

In this episode, we take you inside our Coachella experience — the highs, the chaos, and the moments we can't believe actually happened. From behind-the-scenes stories to unexpected situations, nothing was off-limits once the mics turned on.

Yes, this episode is dedicated to grouse: the sage and the sharp-tails, and most importantly, spring. Sprinkled in and around the team's technical challenges in this episode, they also manage to get sidetracked discussing golf incidents, audio equipment for capturing wildlife sounds, a listener question about an upcoming bear photo adventure, latest rumours of technological advancements in photography gear, and their excitement about the upcoming PhotoX expo at pictureline where all three of our hosts will reconnect in person and interact with fellow photographers in talks and workshops. That's a really long sentence, but I think you get the picture that there is a lot of fun jammed into this “quirky” episode.

Saving the Lost VHS Archives of Turkey Hunting | 100% WILD Podcast Ep. 468 In this nostalgic episode of the 100% WILD Podcast, Matt Drury and Tim Kjellesvik sit down with Paul Campbell, co-founder of the Wild Turkey Archive, to discuss the vital mission of preserving wild turkey hunting's rich culture and history. Paul details the urgent race to digitize thousands of degrading VHS tapes and films before they are lost to time, ensuring the stories of legends like Fox Hayes, Tom Kelly, and Dick Kirby remain available for future generations. We explore the massive digital library, which features everything from black-and-white silent films from the 1920s to iconic master tapes from the early days of Drury Outdoors. The conversation dives deep into the evolution of outdoor media, contrasting today's fast-paced social media clips with the slow-burn, two-hour feature films that defined the 80s and 90s. Paul sharing the technical struggles of the "OGs" who lugged 80-pound shoulder-mounted cameras into the woods and navigated the grueling world of linear tape editing. From finding ancient turkey calls in excavation pits to the "edgy" marketing that built the modern hunting industry, this episode is a celebration of the persistence and passion that defines the wild turkey hunting community.   00:00:00 – Paul Campbell and the Turkey Season Podcast 00:03:14 – Launching the Wild Turkey Archive and historical foundation  00:05:43 – Honoring the conservationists who saved turkey hunting  00:07:36 – Building the "Digital Museum" of turkey culture  00:09:16 – Discovering black-and-white turkey films from the 1920s  00:11:55 – Ancient History: 1,000-year-old turkey calls and cave paintings  00:14:01 – The 40-year shelf life: Why physical media is deteriorating  00:16:42 – Why the new generation is thirsty for "slow" vintage content  00:21:58 – The art of the classic Drury Outdoors intro  00:27:41 – The "Tape Recorder" era of live turkey seminars  00:33:43 – How to support the American Wild Turkey Historical Foundation 00:41:43 – Turkey Truth or VHS Tall Tale   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 Science of Saving the Wild Turkey with Mike Chamberlain | 100% WILD Podcast Ep. 467 In this episode of the 100% WILD Podcast, Matt Drury and Tim Kjellesvik sit down with Dr. Mike Chamberlain, the "Wild Turkey Doc" and NWTF distinguished professor, to address the alarming declines in wild turkey populations across North America. Dr. Chamberlain breaks down the mission of the Wild Turkey Lab, a comprehensive archive designed to turn complex research into actionable data for hunters and land managers. We dive deep into the biological impact of habitat fragmentation, explaining how modern land use has inadvertently created the perfect environment for nest predators like raccoons and opossums to decimate turkey productivity.  The conversation takes a tactical turn as we discuss the "reproductive skew" of the wild turkey explaining why all gobblers are not created equal and how selective harvest can influence future poult production. Dr. Chamberlain also shares his personal shift from traditional beads to using red dots on shotguns after a high stakes miss, emphasizing the importance of vision and confidence. From debunking myths about windy days and barometric pressure to exploring the future of state agency regulations, this episode is an essential masterclass for anyone dedicated to the conservation and pursuit of the wild turkey. 00:00:00 – Dr. Mike Chamberlain: 30 years of wild turkey research 00:03:33 – The Wild Turkey Lab: A one-stop shop for turkey data  00:08:43 – Addressing the "call to arms" regarding population declines  00:13:16 – Combatting social media misinformation with peer-reviewed science 00:14:39 – Why predators are getting more efficient 00:20:38 – Balancing biology vs. politics 00:27:41 – The future of turkey hunting funding 00:33:00 – Why Dr. Chamberlain made the switch to use a red dot. 00:38:17 – How birds originally crossed state lines  00:41:52 – Why peak numbers are in the past 00:48:21 – Prioritizing early successional habitat 00:53:29 – Should you shoot the dominant tom? 01:05:08 – Rapid fire myth-busting with the Doc 01:13:38 – Where to follow Dr. Mike Chamberlain & Wild Turkey DNA 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 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. Whether you are preparing for a Western elk hunt or looking for the best red dot for spring turkeys, this episode provides expert insights into maximizing your field efficiency through superior technology.   00:00:00 - Intro to the podcast 00:01:25 – Bruce Pettet, Leupold President/CEO, joins the show  00:03:00 – Inside Leupold: The innovation roadmap and engineering focus  00:04:00 – VX-4HD: Addressing the "white space" in hunting rifle scopes  00:05:40 – Low Light Performance: Gaining those critical final minutes of daylight  00:07:50 – Scope Features: Throw levers, CDS dials, and fire dots  00:11:50 – The Gold Ring: Why Leupold optics are family heirlooms for life  00:13:50 – Wild Tech Support: Taking calls while a hunter shoots a buck  00:17:00 – BX-6 Binos: Optically perfect glass for Western hunting  00:19:15 – DeerCast Integration: Pinning blood trails and waypoints in real-time  00:32:30 – Leupold Control App: Archery mode and custom ballistics simplicity  00:36:50 – Turkey Hunting Optics: Red dots vs. magnified scopes 00:39:40 – Optics Mythbusting: The truth about objective lenses and max power  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...
