Hope all is well! Hopefully those turkeys are working better for you guys then they have been for us. It has been a tough couple of weeks in our Missouri Turkey Camp. Rainy, windy weather has really cramped our style this spring! We have managed to get a few birds along the way, but it has been pretty tough!
Well, we wanted to send out an update and let everyone know what we have been up to the last month or so. When turkey season rolls around it always seems as though we end up shooting a couple of commercial spots for our sponsors during this time as well. It is really good timing because everyday in Missouri the season ends at 1 pm so we can shoot for the remainder of the day. We had a Mossy Oak spot, an Energizer spot and a few misc. items for Scent Blocker and Bow Madness to shoot.
This year we have a brand new sponsor in Energizer Night Strike Lights and Energizer Lithium Batteries. We are very excited to be teamed up with them and they have a pretty spectacular product hitting the shelves this summer around the end of July. They asked us to shoot a commercial for them to air inside our show. It was a big deal for us and we wanted to make sure and produce it right so we rented a production truck from a local company out of St. Louis and two of the editors drove it up to the farm to get ready for the shoot!
Once they showed up we knew that the weather probably wasn't going to cooperate with our plans of shooting it on Monday and Tuesday so we set up Sunday afternoon and got ready to shoot once the sun went down. We ended up getting 3 trucks stuck, a trailer and we broke the winch on our Bad Boy Buggie (after the buggy pulled one of the trucks out luckily!). It was so muddy on the property we were shooting on! We were fortunate that Coon Dog, Aaron Bennett and the production crew of Colin Hartin, Mike Johnson and Matt Drury were there to help get everything ready.
This shoot was so different for us because we had to film a night scene, but yet light it well enough that you could see the product being showcased. It was neat to see our production crew do their thing and we were very proud of how hard all the guys worked to make it go smoothly! Now it is time for the post production house (Media Grabbers) to put the final touches on it and really make it shine.
Outside of that we also just got done shooting a Reconyx commercial in our studio with good friends Greg Miller and Dan Perez. Jeff Simpson from Fence Post Media came in to shoot the green screens of these guys. Jeff's company does great work and we are looking forward to seeing the finished product on this spot as well!
We have also put up a link to a radio spots that we have done on the American Outdoorsman show (You need itunes to listen). Check it out!
Safe hunting out there! -Mark & Terry Drury

Mark & Terry,
My name is Andy Eskridge. I am from southwest Virginia. I have a wife an a one year old daughter. I am absolutely in love with the outdoors. It has always been a dream of mine to get into the outdoor industry. I love your show on the outdoor channel. It is such an in depth show, it truely gives the viewer a sense of the outdoors. I also love your Catch a Dream foundation. I am a firm believer in giving back and helping out those in need. I know you have touched so many hearts with your foundation. I am very intersted in getting into the outdoor industry. I just need to somehow get the ball rolling. I am looking for any opportunity I can get. I was wondering how I go about getting the opportunity to be on Dream Season? I was also wondering if you had an open positions? I am willing to run a camera, sweep floors or anything you have avaliable. I would love to be apart of the Drury Outdoor family.
I am an avid hunter and I have killed several whitetails with my PSE bow an riffle. I also love sharing the outdoors with others. I took my wife hunting for the first time last year an she harvested her first doe. I was so proud. I already have my daughter watching your show with me on t.v. an I'll be ready to pass our family hunting tradition on to her as soon as she is old enough.
