I think you have me confused sir. I do not look forward to their DVD's or hunting products. I have never purchased any Drury sponsored product and probably never will.

I just feel like these guys will say anything to make a buck.
I remember when they came out witha game camera a few years ago and it had Mark's picture with a quote of something like "this is the most inovative archery product ever created". I don't think they even sell it any more.

I only pray that Winke never sells out. I'd rather read one of his articles any day over watching those guys.

how can you say something about their dvd, when you have never owned one?

I have seen their videos and do not care for them nor their TV show one bit nor the Drury brothers themselves.

I do not like the fact that they have turned hunting into a full blown competition and IMHO it is bad for the sport. Because of this wide spread commercialization of hunting, others areequally at fault,it has become increasingly dificult for average people to gain access to good private hunting lands. What was once easily accessed by simply being polite and a hand shake is increasingly turning into who has the most money available to lease "X" property and once the lease is up itthen turns into "Well they are offering me more money that you are so unless you can beat their offer of $20 per acre you will have to find some where else to hunt". Never mind the hard work that you have put into that land to make it a great hunting spot for the last 5 years.

Why, because they hunt public wilderness after truely wild animals and not grain fed deer? Because they don't sit there and brag about how they couldn't have possibly made that shot with any other bow, gun, ML, arrow broadhead, bullet, grunt call, doe bleat,or what ever and then completely change bow companies the next year and tell us the same BS about that new bow company?

YEs they all have their sponsors but I never hear Shockey tell me that his TC is the only gun that could have made the 200 yard shot on a Thar or moose, etc...

Stan Potts is, IMO, a bigger blabber mouth that any one else on Television hunting. Except maybe Roger Ranglin(sp)and Ted Nugent. I like Ted because of what he stands for concerning the 2nd and the fact that he isn't scaredto discuss the topic with any one what so everbut don't care for his hunting shows too much.

Sure there is equal to Drury........ Most all of the shows on television today are nothing but a 30 minute infomercial just like their show.

I have watched a few videos with friends and I think I may have watched themon TV before.
Would never put any of my hard earned $ in their pockets.

Well, I think their videos are entertaining and maybe even educational to some extent, I still take em with a grain of salt.. People shouldn't get mad about the plugs, someone has too, it's our way here in America.

Most that I hunt with either have never heard of them(and most other self proclaimed "pro's") or could care less.
As far as them or any other "pro" saving us from peta etc - well that's just plain funny.

Yea, real hunting over baited stand sites in Sask, with his Thomson CenterEncore (muzzle loader, yea right) at his side! He's a good hunter, but he reeks commercialization! I'm just saying.

Shockey, Bear, and Adams have acomplished so much more as hunters than the Drury's that it is a joke to even compare them. The Drury's are for the most part just whitetail hunters even though they have doneSOME Elk and Mule deer hunts or whatever. These other guys have done it all and are true professionals...not just some guys that have a tv show.

I don't see how anyone could put Fred Bear in the same sentence as any of the people that have been mentioned thus far. Fred bear was a "class act" and as self made as you can ever get! He developed his "own" products, marketed them,and sold them under "his name".Not someone else's name! He was a hunter's hunter, and his records reflect this.And a "bowhunter" at that.
Let's not dishoner this man and his accomplishmentsby comparing him,or putting him in the same catagory as these other hunters. Fred Bear's hunting career was full of first's. This can never be taken from him, and should NEVER be forgotten. He made this sport what it is today. He has more of my respect than all of these other guys put together!
