I’ve always liked the Drury brothers. They’ve got Midwestern roots and they don’t try to pass off killing fenced in bucks as hunting. They represent the ethic as I’ve always known it. Their emotions on camera seem genuine and fits with what I experience myself. It’s not a bunch of gibberish about how wonderful that rutted up old buck is going to taste…
Anyway, I was sent this little piece that Bowhunting World did the other day and I thought I’d pass it along. I particularly liked this:
BW: How often do you go out on your farms and get skunked like the average guy?
MD: A lot. Most days we get skunked, just like everybody. I don’t care how much land you’ve got and how good it is and how well it’s managed, mature bucks win most of the time when you’re hunting with a bow.
TD: Want a good example? A few years ago I killed my first buck of the year on my 60th day of bowhunting. That’s a lot of getting skunked!
60 days of getting skunked before dropping the string? That’s dedication, and that’s what kills big bucks. It’s also more time that most hunters will spend in a decade… Here’s the whole piece.
