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

“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

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 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.

Eva Shockey - Hunting When the Weather’s Hot

Because my dad and I hunt in Saskatchewan quite a bit, some people may not be aware that we also hunt all over the world, under all types of weather conditions. This past year, I hunted in New Zealand and Australia, and we often go to Africa. We do quite a bit of hot-weather hunting each year.

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

Outdoors with Eva Shockey

The story of Eva Shockey is a classic example of what happens when two completely opposite worlds collide.
