info_outlineWhy Long-Range Hunting Is Easier Than You Think (w/ Brian Wiese) | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 441
Join host Matt Drury and guest host Jim Richman for a wide-ranging conversation with Brian Wiese of the Drury Outdoors team and co-host of Critical Mass. This episode dives deep into long-range rifle shooting, the power of suppressors, and how Brian and his partner Cody use 14+ POV cameras to capture some of the most dynamic and cinematic hunting footage in the game.
They discuss how modern scope technology (like Leupold’s CDS dials) makes 400-yard shots accessible, the balance of recoil and precision with cartridges like the 6.8 Western, and how suppressors are changing the game—not just for accuracy but also for ethical, effective deer management.
Plus, the crew shares behind-the-scenes insight into a 12-hour spot-and-stalk hunt, dealing with an influx of mountain lions on their Nebraska properties, and how scent control is critical when you're placing cameras right in a buck’s exit path.
