Chris Kirby on the Secrets of Turkey Hunting

Three years ago we partnered with Mossy Oak to promote a program – Today’s Hunters Uniting for Good (THUGS).

All the calls are made in America by American workers. We wanted to develop some of the best turkey

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.

Matt Drury of Drury Outdoors Explains How Mossy Oak Makes Hunters Invisible and Helps Others

From the very beginning, Uncle Mark and Dad understood that two people sitting in two different tree stands, during the fall and winter, wasn’t what deer saw normally. So, it became very apparent to them that good camouflage would make a big difference in the number of deer they were able to take, and the number of videos they could produced.

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.

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.

“The Boss” Matt Drury on Drury Outdoors

Based on the stories I’ve heard, Uncle Mark came to my dad in about 1988, when Uncle Mark was a rep for Mossy Oak and on the national turkey-calling circuit at that same time. He told my dad, “I’m seeing a few turkey videos in sporting-good stores and other places where Mossy Oak is sold. I’ve looked at some of them, and I know we can make and sell better videos than some of the

Eva Shockey Loves Elk Hunting and Wants to Go As Often As Possible

Another of my favorite hunts was when I went elk hunting with my dad during the rut in Colorado – the first elk hunt I’d ever had. Since my dad doesn’t do much elk hunting, going on this elk hunt with him was a big deal. We went to a friend’s ranch in Colorado, and he told us, “There are elk bugling everywhere. You should see a lot of them, when you get here.” But

Eva Shockey and Her Unbelievable Moose Hunt

One of my most-exciting hunts was a moose hunt in the Yukon. I usually go to our moose-hunting area in September, and that’s where I was hunting this past year. Moose are unbelievably large beautiful animals. I really like to hunt them, when they are in the rut, because you can call them in to within bow or gun range.

I'd studied this buck's pattern for a couple of weeks, being extremely careful not to leave any scent in the wrong places. I'd selected a stand site where the dense underbrush funneled into a 40-yard-wide strip. I was sure this was where he would walk and I
