Response From Drury Outdoors
 

Drury Outdoors has accepted the resignation from Subcontractor David Foret. Contrary to the speculation regarding David and our reaction and actions, we have been activly looking into the situation and have taken steps as quickly as is humanly possible. We are sorry we were not aware of certain circumstances before using David as a Subcontractor for our Company but no information was disclosed to us in advance. Much to our detriment I suppose, we are very honest and trusting individuals, taking people at face value and not judging until all facts are in the open.

We appreciate your comments and respect your views on this subject as well as others. Thank you for your constant support of our product and the ideas and ethics we hold dear.

Not at all. Personally, I gained a lot more respect for you folks for your handling of this matter. Thank you again, and best wishes.

Personnally.... I don't want the Subcontractor job. I mean... who wants to hunt in 7 or 8 states, have to pick over 140-180 class deer, have all these beautiful private woods to hunt, have to hunt with the likes of Kandy Kissey, get all those neat new toys to try out from manufacturers and then have to come back home. No sir, I know when I've got it bad and there's no way I want to see how the other half lives. A guy might get used to that life. Besides that, I'm used to dragging my own deer and sweating and coming home all tired. No ready hot made meals and meat packers for me. If you really like that kind of life......errrrrrrrrr .... ahhhhhhhhhh..... Where is that DELETE button?. Ahhhhhhhhhh ..... Never mind.

RE: Response From Drury Outdoors
 

I got a couple of your videos and will get some more. Hey
dont the Drurys shoot with Hoyts bows? :)

RE: Response From Drury Outdoors
 

Thank you for the quick response.

I would be no good filling in the vacant sub contractor spot seeing most of your videos are sold here in the US.

RE: Response From Drury Outdoors
 

It truley sickened me to see a convicted poacher in a way representing the hunting community. So many hard working honest hunters whom hunt within the laws work long and hard to harvest a legal deer, and yet a convicted poacher whom hunts by his own rules outside of the law was able to procure the dream job of many a honest hard working hunter, it just disgusted me to read the evidence against Poacher David Foret.I for one wouldnt want a convicted poacher working as the Director of Parks in my area, To many deer in our parks for him to poach.Thankyou Drury for your prompt response and action you took in this matter. Hopefully this is the last I will ever see of David Foret.

RE: Response From Drury Outdoors
 

A unfortunate thing to have to do, but the right and necessary thing to do.

Drury's actions in this matter bespeaks of the reputation of &quot;Drury Outdoors,&quot; and the character of all the company's officers and employees.

RE: Response From Drury Outdoors
 

Great job, Drury Outdoors for not letting this guy represent your great company or the whole hunting community. Thanks again

My hat is off to all of the folks at Drury for checking this out and taking corrective actions. I am like you all when it comes to being honest and trusting, it is sad in this day and age that you need to check someone out, but times have changed, I wish I could! Not really, I am me and am to old to change even if I wanted to.

Thanks Drury Outdoors, we do not need people like him representing our industry, and we sure dont need him as a role model for our kids.
You all did the right thing as I expected you would.
Will be seeing yall at the checkout lines this holiday season also.:)

RE: Response From Drury Outdoors
 

While I commend your response to the situation once it became widely known I hope that from now on you will do a thorough job checking the backgrounds of your current and future staffers. This happened once shame on him (David Foret), if it happens again shame on you.

RE: Response From Drury Outdoors
 

Willa,

Thank you very much for the response. Not only do your swift actions speak volumes about the character of Drury Outdoors and those employed by them, but taking the time to come here and address your loyal customers shows that you care about more than the all-mighty dollar. I feel bad that a company such as yours had their image tarnished, even if only temporarily, by an unscrupulous individual. However, your actions and this response has you coming out of this incident shining bright. Bravo. And while the list of applicants keeps growing (please add my name to that list BTW)<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> I feel confident that the hunting perks aside Drury Outdoors would be a great place to work, because if this is how you respect your customers I can only imagine how well your employees are treated. Again, thanks and keep up the good work.

RE: Response From Drury Outdoors
 

Way to go guys. I have never purchased a hunting video, but when I do you will get my business.

RE: Response From Drury Outdoors

small but deadly

RE: Response From Drury Outdoors
 

OK OK- I'll take the job. When and where is our first hunt???

Seriously, I've enjoyed the Drury video's I've seen and I have some of your calls too. From the class you've shown here, I have no reason to stop!

Today's small bucks are tomorrow's trophies.

RE: Response From Drury Outdoors
 

Great response Drury outdoors. My faith is confirmed. I have always been impressed by your hunting ethics in your videos. I think your first monster bucks video is the best I have ever seen. Thank you for being a company that listens to your customer.

RE: Response From Drury Outdoors
 

This was a great job on Drury Outdoors part.I'm a BIG fan of their vidoes and products,(&quot;Mad calls&quot;)and I think you done the right thing for all of the hunters and sporstman.

RE: Response From Drury Outdoors
 

wrd, I see nothing wrong with trusting people. Unfortunately it sometimes doesn't work out so well, but I certainly can't fault you for it. Continued good luck in the future. Good hunting.

Ausie, could you please repost? I couldn't understand what you typed.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: Response From Drury Outdoors
 

Thanks for letting us know the outcome. Much respect for you family and company. Having a &quot;good heart&quot; and trusting people unfortunatly gets you burned some times, but it's a much better way to live IMO.

Your actions speak for the reputation of Drury Outdoors.I have the utmost respect for your outfit.Thanks for the quick action and response............Tim

It's not how big the Deer,But the size of the experiance that matters!!

RE: Response From Drury Outdoors
 

As Trushot_archer put it...having a good heart and trusting people is a much better way to live!
Your latest experience was unfortunate, but the manner in which your company took care of the issue made an already good group of people look even better to me!

Good luck in the future, and thank`s for reaffirming our faith in &quot;GOOD PEOPLE!&quot;

I'd like to ofer up my thanks to all the diligent people on this HNI site to the persistence and their moral values to keep this subject in the open. I had once questioned in the moderator&quot;s forum weather we should let the thread continue. I am certainly glad we did, it really speaks for the type of members we have here.

WRD....I would like to thank you for a very swift resolution to this issue. We all here at HNI would really like to see you stay around and join us from time to time. The invitation is out there, please consider accepting.

RE: Response From Drury Outdoors
 

Thank you for taking the proper action, and then taking the time to let us know. It would have been easy to sweep this under the rug. Thank you for doing what is right, and not what is easy.

RE: Response From Drury Outdoors
 

I'm amazed at how quickly this has been dealt with. Kudo's to silentassassin and the other members helping, and to Drury for nixing the poacher. Now, what else can we do? <font size=4> We have the power! </font id=size4>:)

RE: Response From Drury Outdoors
 

Thank you for taking care of the situation in a timely manner
