It Charged Me! Chaos Tracking a 208" Giant | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 459

Warren McDonald joins the show to share the unbelievable journey of his 208 5/8-inch Indiana monster whitetail, a world-class buck with a massive paddle-like drop tine. This legend led Warren on a tactical chase. Warren reveals the absolute chaos of the harvest, from a 3-yard spinning shot to a series of follow-up shots in giant weeds that resulted in the deer charging him.

Beyond the hunt, we dive into the giants movement in a 6.5-mile loop every four days and why planting turnips was the key to bringing this deer back after a two-year disappearance . Warren breaks down his unique use of DeerCast to look for changing weather and explains how he navigated intense social media drama and accusations of trespassing after posting the harvest photos. We also explore the importance of documentation.
