Trigger Panic, Blown Hunts, and the Truth About Deer Scoring | 100% Wild Podcast Ep.449

Matt and Tim catch up during the heart of the rut to talk blown hunts, swirling thermals, and the kind of mistakes that keep every bowhunter humble. Matt owns up to battling trigger panic, why upping poundage backfired, and how even a perfect setup can go sideways when the wind flips. The guys trade "Would You Rather" scenarios every hunter can relate to, unpack why score doesn't always tell the story, and share laughs over raccoons, box blinds, and internet critics. It's a loose, honest look at real-world hunting frustrations and the moments that make it all worth it.
