Matt Drury Finally Lands the Perfect Shot | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 447 

Matt opens up about coming home from Idaho after skimming a bull’s back and how it tanked his confidence, then walks through the exact moves that put a mature Missouri buck on the ground: ditching minerals, building and maintaining DIY water holes, reading an east/southeast wind with nasty thermals (and a neighbor 90 yards away), and leveraging a pre-built mock scrape for a 25-yard heart shot. Tim shares his own early-season chess match, why open clover plots can feel “unsafe,” and how focusing on water becomes a legal high-value draw in warm spells.
