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.

You should see a lot of them, when you get here.” But
