They provide for their families as you and i do. why dont you take a peek at all the money they donate to charities such as their own charity, catch a dream. You are way off base in your comments. Do i get sick of the product plugs from different companies that sponsor them year to year- of course i do. You would do the same thing if you were in their shoes!!! Labeling people that provide hunting oppurtunitys to handicapped kids and others less fortunate as bad people or that they are somehow doing something wrong is moronic.
I am not a moron, as you eluded to in your post. Check your spelling too before you name-call. Like I said at the beginning of this post, I used to ENJOY watching the Drury DVDs, but lately they are getting to be a little much. They rave about HOYT and then switch to PSE??? I'm sorry, but I question that as big business, not talented hunting. Please do not tell me Lee and Tiffany BUSTED their rumps to get where they are. Give me a break, they aren't old enough to have busted anything. I am not jealous of them either. I am perfectly happy to go and scout and hang stands and cut shooting lanes and sit for hours because that's where all the enjoyment in hunting is. It isn't just popping into a stand somebody else scouted and hung for you, where's the fun in that? The Drury's used to be fun to watch, but as soon as they started having Dream Season and irresponsible hunters shooting bucks they were told specifically NOT to shoot, and more than once, they lost my respect. Granted it wasn't them, but they were responsible for those contestants and they never even addressed it on the DVD when they got kicked off the land they were hunting by the biologist. A regular to their show is John Frank, and if he isn't the biggest moron on television, I don't know who is. He says things and does things that are an embarassment to hunters. Why would you want him representing your name?
I am not "way off base" with my comments. They are my opinions and nothing more. While we are at it, tell me how many times they credit the Thompson kid for introducing them to Catch a Dream. It was all his idea, and the Drury's got it from him. I applaud them for taking less fortunate and sick children on hunts, but they have ridiculous fund raisers sometimes to do it. I watched the one season where Rick and Julie were having their fund raiser and they best they could do was "Rattling for Bucks". Give me a break, those two could just have donated cash or a hunt and it would have amounted to a whole lot more money. It shouldn't be a contest to see who can raise the most money, they should do it because they want to, like Thompson did. Instead they are rewarded with hunts for being the "winners". Where's the charity in that?
I will just turn the channel from now on and let others that enjoy them watch. That would be you. That's the beauty of America, you are free to change the channel - so far, anyway.
