Drury Outdoors
What do you think of Drury Outdoors, do you like the team members? There are quite a few guys i wouldn't mind tagging along with while hunting. I would have to say out of all the hunting videos i watch, nothing is better than Drury Outdoors video production. They are very informative in what they are doing! I have a lot of respect for both Mark and Terry, they are both top notch guys that know what they are doing! I had a chance to meet both Mark and Terry last summer. Terry was very talkative while Mark was a little on the quit side!

RE: Drury Outdoors
I’ve met Mark, and the 2 Pa guys Malik & Day. All 3 very personable and likable guys.
|
RE: Drury Outdoors
I like the Drurys. Most everyone on their prostaff is pretty likeable, they promote ethical practices, and try to inform hunters on how to improve. I guess that's why their videos always get bought year after year.

RE: Drury Outdoors
I don't want to bad mouth the Drury boys; they do produce a quality video. However, I have seen the behind the scenes stuff that goes on with their operation and have very little respect for the manner in which they handle themselves. I have a good friend that worked for them and another good friend that owns land next their Northern Missouri farm. Stand up guys, they are not. Therefore, I have boycotted their videos and T.V. shows for about five years now and do not plan on ending that any time soon.

RE: Drury Outdoors
Kickin Buck do may i ask what went wrong between your friend and them?

RE: Drury Outdoors
I like them and as far as the "behind the scenes stuff" you need to rember this is a bussiness for them.To my knowlage they have never been charged or convicted of trasspassing, hunting out ofseason or any other game violation. Something some of the other big boys of horn porn can not clame. They will pay top$$$$ for the property they lease and have burnt some bridgesin the mid west because of it. You got to pay to play tho.

[/quote] I don't have an opinion one way or the other, butI do have to comment on your post. I kinda laughed while reading it wondering what you would have said about them if you DID want to bad mouth them. Again, not questioning what you said, just wondering why you started out with the first sentence after reading what followed. |
RE: Drury Outdoors
Because he is bringing something to the table no one knows about, or could know if it was true or not without investigating it.
I watch their shows. But to me it is just another hunting show, like all the rest of them. But i dont like to watch theirs all that much compared to others. However thats personal preference anyways. |
RE: Drury Outdoors
I like them. They grew up about an hour south of where I live.
|
RE: Drury Outdoors
Yeah I like em'.
|
RE: Drury Outdoors
Used to watch there shows, not big into them anymore.
Didnt like the whole idea of turning deer hunting into a competition with teams competing for the top spot, basing on footage and kills. I know thats only one of there series but still, its a glimpse into how they see hunting, like they have to one up everyone. Maybe thats what drives them, it just doesnt work that way for me. |

I guess it was just my bad attempt at being polically correct,something I have never been good at. |

RE: Drury Outdoors
I like watching their videos. The Dream Season series is by far my favorite. Of course, I don't know what they are like in person, so I can't comment on how I feel about them, because I do not know them.
|
RE: Drury Outdoors
Droptine. The competitions im speaking about arent the friendly riverly ones you have with your peers.
Drury had a show for a while, im not sure its on anymore where they take contestants and hunt places all over the country, and they have to abid by rules set fourth by the show and they compete against each other to win a cash prize at the end of the season for the team with the best bucks and best footage. I just dont agree with turning hunting into a reality TV show you can watch on FOX, plus it gives us a bit of a bad image to the non hunting public. its just my opinion |

RE: Drury Outdoors
I can concur with you Droptine.

RE: Drury Outdoors
The Drury'smake the best hunting videos out there,period. I don't like half of the left wing nut job hollywood actors either but I still watch the films--except for the following, Rosie O'Donell, Martin Sheen, Dixie Chicks, and Alec Baldwin (I have to draw the line on the nuty angryleftists somewhere).Besides, Terry makes me giggle becasue he screws up all the time and it makes me feel better about my own screw ups ;-)

RE: Drury Outdoors
I really liked the Drury's when they first started out. Their videos were always very imformative and still are. Unlike other hunting videos/shows you watch they actually show more than just the kill. They take you back to scouting methods, food plot planting, hanging stands, ets. It gives the viewer an inside look as to the science behind their gameplan. I will also give them credit that they are damn good at what they do.
However here is my bone to pick with them. Not a fan of the team competitions. I don't feel like hunters should be rewarded with cash prizes and what not by competingagainst other teams. It also seems like over recent years they have been nothing but one big commercial for their sponsors. I know these are the people that fund their show and everything but I don't need to hear how shooting a PSE and wearing Scent-Lok boots are the only way to kill a deer every minute of the show. They also pushed Hoyt for so many years and now all of a sudden they are on the PSE bandwagon???That doesn't make much sense to me...not sure if they did it b/c of money terms alone or what. As informative and intelligent as they are as hunters, I have went from purchasing at least one sometimes 2 of their dvds a year to none. |
RE: Drury Outdoors
Im a big fan, i think they bring alot of the realities of hunting to the screen.
|
RE: Drury Outdoors
I like them and many others cause a lot of their hunts are on their property...Not like NAW where they go from outfitter to outfitter...When was the last time you saw Pat Reeve or Stan Potts on their own property?? Kisky and Lakosky's are also good cause most of their deer hunts are on their property... That is the stuff I like....
|
RE: Drury Outdoors
I like em, and enjoy their shows probably the best of the ones I watch. Though I get a little tired of hearing "brother Mark, brother Terry" LOL. I will agree, anyone at the top will get knocked around whether its true or not.
|
RE: Drury Outdoors
No matter what anyone says, The Drury brothers are the BEST. They do almost their own scouting and hunting. They rarely use outfitters. They make great videos and they give great tips to improve your hunting. I'm trying to get on their team. I've filmed a few hunts, and hoprfully, I can film my dad shooting a big buck. That's what I want to do in my future hunting. Hunt for Drury Outdoors.

RE: Drury Outdoors
Is it just me or have I been seeing some of the worst shots ever taken on hunting shows lately? All kinds of 15-30 yd shots that are several feet away from the animal, makes me wonder what it takes to be on a "pro stafff'. And it's crazy how all these guys jump from onemanufacturer of bows and gear to another all for the mighty dollar. Telling me I should buy an X force baby....yea right!
I thought it was funny the other day whenone of theXforce dudes wacked his are with his string, then right after that oldPete's pointer is that you should always wear an arm guard!Go and make a faster, shorter brace height bowLOL! I'm like allot of others, used to really like their old stuff, but this entire dream season business is a mess. I read one of the other post above and the guy says "you gotta pay if you wanna play" talking about the leasing disease. Give me a brake, I take pride in knowing I have the skills to take mature deer on public ground all for the price of the tag. And I didn't have to go and lease up the best ground around and kick some locals or family membersout, & spend big $$$$ on bait plots.Just so I can shoot bucks and post my photos all over the net and make videos to try and get on some goofy show. Hunting is about allot more than that to me I guess. |
RE: Drury Outdoors
After all, hunting is about killing big bucks- dont say its not. I actually feel sorry for you if you really feel this way.[&o] |
RE: Drury Outdoors
I really like them. They are always fun to watch.

ORIGINAL: DropTine249 [blockquote]quote: After all, hunting is about killing big bucks- dont say its not.[/blockquote] :eek:. Hunting is so much more than just killing big bucks. I actually feel sorry for you if you really feel this way.[&o] It should be about being outdoors, experiencing nature. Spending time with great friends while engaging in a clean, old fashioned hobby, lifestyle. However, the general hunting public is always looking to score on a throphy animal, no matter the species. Now, some will argue that hunting videos and shows have made hunting into a competition for big bucks. Others will claim that the QDM practiced within thesevideos and shows has assisted in educating and sharingknowledge that have increased the quality of, specifically- whitetail hunting. I'm not going to bicker, one way or another...I will say, for me- hunting is about having my time and money pay off. I want to be rewarded by seeing and hopefully getting a shot on a mature whitetail buck. I love hunting. I love doing all of the pre-season prep work. I love seeing deer. I enjoy harvesting a doe. I hunt through hard work...scouting...and time in stand. Most people that say that they dont want to hunt big farms, plant food plots, plant crop,hang multiple stands, glass fields- they are just jealous that they dont have the land to do so. Like I said- hunting is NOT our job...Yes, hunters that film their hunts for a production company fall into the professional hunter category, still- its not their job. For people like the Drury brothers- its their job. They pay their bills with hunting related revenue. So, if they have the cash to lease land, great. I'm sure you were not all upset that the bum previously residing in the woods that was cleared down to build your office building was displaced or the people that used to hunt the farm where your yuppy development was built were "pushed out". It's obvious that you and I view hunting entirely different. That's fine with me, but I am having trouble following you here........ For people like the Drury brothers- its their job. They pay their bills with hunting related revenue. So, if they have the cash to lease land, great. I'm sure you were not all upset that the bum previously residing in the woods that was cleared down to build your office building was displaced or the people that used to hunt the farm where your yuppy development was built were "pushed out". |

RE: Drury Outdoors
Droptine, i see your point and agree with you.
i like terry and mark, the other jokers i don't care foras much. i have more respect for mark and terry then the rest of the crew. I'd love to have terry and mark as a mentor, their experience and abilites far outway the other crew members. besides from what i understand any joe blow and send in footage. the pay back was a mere $1000 for a good big buck kill and only a couple hundred dollars for a doe. now i got that from one of the team members about 9 years ago when i called him trying to get involved. so realisticly how many "big bucks" does the average joe blow kill a year? In my home state of illinois it's a max of 2. so i'd need to hunt out of state for more oportunities. then you have your taxidermy bill to deal with. and it would take about 3-4 years just to pay off the high-def video camera you bought to film the hunt. so i guess my point is, is getting on tv really that important to you? if you're looking for recognition for being a "big buck killer" or "master hunter caused you made it in a video killing a big deer" wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to just send in you picture of your once in a lifetime 170" buck to your local newpaper? all videos now have high standards of buck size. i would bet that 99% of us will never see the size of deer in our lifetime that the drury boys kill. hell they pass on deer that are bigger then most of us ever see. why???cause of location, location, location. if we had enough money to buy a huge piece of land in a prime county and have the equipment to farm and food plot and manage the herd we could have big deer on video too. |
RE: Drury Outdoors
What I am trying to say is that most hunters are targetting a trophy..and why not. An old buck with a large rack signifies a much smarter and wary animal than a young buck. So, obviously there is a greater sense of accomplishement. Americans are noturiously competetive, in all regards. So, why does hunting differ. just because a hunter is out for a trophy, doenst mean he isnt enjoying hunting. Right ? It doesnt mean that he is some unethical guy who lacks the morals that hunters should have, does it ? I also remember the mistakes more....[&:] |
RE: Drury Outdoors
ORIGINAL: kickin_buck It had to do with the way Drury pays for footage, or more specifically, if they pay for footage. Please know, that not every piece of footageyou see on their videos was done by a "Drury Person". My buddy was employeed by Drury, they used a ton of his footage, but refused to pay because their was no kill at the end. I can understand not paying him for footage they won't use. However, to use the footage and not pay, pretty shady. Also, you should talk to some of the land owners around them in Northern Missouri about tresspassing and other ethical subjects. I believe you will see them in a whole new light. I know this is a business for them, just another reason why I don't really care for them, or any other T.V hunting shows. 2.I assume that when you throw around statements that discredit them, you have factual information to back it up? I ask because you make your statements so matter of factly. Second hand this or that that your buddy's cousin's girlfriend's daddy said really is not what I am asking about here. |
RE: Drury Outdoors
Never met them or had anything to do with them.... Therefore I cannot say anything... Good videos though..

RE: Drury Outdoors
Im a big fan of the Drury Outdoors....I have many of their DVDs
