Team Radical Secrets for Professional Coyote Management | 100% Wild Podcast Ep 465
In this episode of the 100% Wild Podcast, Matt Drury and Tim Kjellesvik sit down with the elite predator hunters from Team Radical, Justin Roepke and Nate Standerfer. After a successful run clearing out nuisance critters on Terry Drury's Illinois lease, the guys dive into the tactical world of predator management. They discuss why high coyote densities are the #1 roadblock to expanding your deer herd and wild turkey populations, and how Team Radical managed to go viral by recording their high-stakes night hunts. You'll learn about the evolution of the gear from red lights and night vision to modern high-end thermal optics.
The conversation goes beyond just gear as we explore the intense world of competitive coyote hunting. Nate and Justin break down their strategy for running "long lines," covering 50,000+ acres in a single weekend. We also tackle the realities of permission and land access, explaining how helping a farmer clear out livestock-killing predators is the ultimate "in" for gaining hunting ground. Whether you are looking to save your fawns or simply want to learn the art of the aggression-based coyote call, this episode is a masterclass in modern predator control.
