Matt Drury’s Job as “The Boss” at Drury Outdoors

Marketing is important, because it crosses over into almost every phase of the outdoors, including how to get a TV show on the air, how to get sponsors, how, why, when and where to create ads, and how to sell yourself to a station manager, a sponsor and the public. Even if you are the world’s greatest hunter and the world’s greatest videographer, you still won’t make it in the outdoors as a professional hunter

Matt Drury of Drury Outdoors Explains How a Video Gets from the Field to Your TV Set

Every year, we have a spring meeting with our team members and review all the policies, procedures and technical aspects of producing the kind of video we need for our TV shows and videos. We understand that these team members are hunting wild animals, and that wild deer don’t always stop where they’re supposed to - in a clearing or within range - and they don’t read scripts. However, we try and get the best

Matt Drury on How to Become a Drury Outdoors’ Professional Hunter and Videographer

The first thing I always ask for from potential pro staffers for Drury Outdoors is a video resume of hunts they have filmed, because this is the most-important part of what our business is. I’m sure there are great hunters out there who take really-big whitetails every year and turkeys and capture those hunts on video. But remember, to get good video, you have to have two hunters set-up in tree stands with all their

Food Plots in the Land of Plenty

I have been asked many times why I plant food plots when I live in North Dakota. “North Dakota is one giant food plot. The deer have everything they want and need!” The answer is,“That’s exactly why I plant food plots.”

Eva Shockey - More Than a One Dimensional Hunter

When I decided that girly-girls could go hunting and not only enjoy the hunt but enjoy taking animals, I wanted to learn to hunt with as many types of weapons as my dad used – guns, bows and black powder. My favorite gun to hunt with is a Thompson/Center break action .270. I’ve shot some really-huge animals with this gun. Depending on what we’re hunting, I’ll be shooting either a .270 or a .300 Win

Hank Parker - Ultimate Joy from Taking a Big Buck and My Greatest Moment in the Outdoors

I am often asked about the greatest moment I ever have had in the outdoors or the highest point in my outdoor career. People assume I’ll answer, “Winning the Bassmaster Classic,” or “Being named Angler of the Year on the Bassmaster circuit,” or “Taking a trophy buck.” But actually none of those great moments are my greatest outdoor moment.

Hank Parker on the Worst Things That Can Happen with a Buck within Bow Range

Distractions are the name of the game when a big buck is coming in close toward a hunter. Having to itch, scratch, cough, clear your throat, swat mosquitoes and/or pick ticks in warm weather, or perhaps the weather is 10 degrees below zero, and your nose is running like a water faucet, will each cause you to break concentration and possibly spook a buck when he’s in close.

Hank Parker on Preventing the Buck from Seeing You Move or Draw

Like many bowhunters, I want to get a deer in close before I shoot. I’m often asked, “Hank, how do you know when to take the shot?” To take a buck when he is in close, the most-important factor is the body language of the deer to gauge when you can and cannot move.

The old hunter put his hand on my arm and said, “You need to wait a little while. Let’s go over here, sit down, and wait before you call.” Surprised, I asked, “Why do I need to wait before I call?” He proceeded to give me some tremendously-helpful wisdom I never have forgotten.

Guys and gals in the north and Midwest who haven’t filled their tag yet

Lisa Jane on Why She Likes Bowhunting and How the Sport Empowers Her

I’m often asked, “Why do you believe women should consider shooting a bow?” I believe all women should have at least a rudimentary working knowledge of firearms as well as archery. However, I like the challenge of a bow. You have to be aware of so many things about the bow from your form to anchor point to be able to shoot it successfully. I think every woman should shoot archery, because the sport is
