[@adamfrench5368]

Prayers that your IVF is a success! 👊🏼 Stay patient and try to be easy going like you were about chasing this 230…knowing regardless of result it’s all gonna be okay. Congrats too.

@@adamfrench5368thanks brother it’s been a long road but really thankful we’re even able to do the procedures! Good luck this season!

[@DruryOutdoors]

Thank you for joining us!

Roughly how far south in Illinois? Born and raised in the Shawnee and have a 180 I’m after right now

[@JaredUrgan]

A lot of people say luck but looking through his page looks like he’s consistently on bigger deer. That takes a lot of time in the woods to figure bucks like that out-no less on pressured public. Awesome job on the story and great podcast!

[@DruryOutdoors]

Very true. It takes a lot of hard work, dedication and years of learning to be able to do what he’s done.

[@adamfrench5368]

Good questioning Matt, you don’t get enough credit. 👊🏼

[@Lennyjr120]

One of my friends had pictures of that deer in velvet and he showed me the picture and on Facebook that it was killed and it amazed me when I seen the video I had to send it to him right away because that was his main target for the year

[@killintime8431]

This guy seems like a really good guy it’s awesome when the good guys get the big bucks unlike the whole CJ Alexander thing

[@boknows2188]

Crazy part is without the trash he’s be small and spindly

[@boknows2188]

230 is like the new 170. I know of so many people have no clue about.

[@aidensullivan8319]

Do they reply, watched a video and that next morning I killed my first bow buck now I’m back sitting in the stand wishing for luck

[@DruryOutdoors]

Sending all the big buck luck your way! Have fun and stay safe out there! And congrats on your first archery buck!

[@buckydoedowner9040]

Another one of them deer that screams High Fence DNA. 2.5yr old.

[@jerryscray1789]

Just how much do you guys pay for these deer 😂😂😂

[@Mavis_IsGoated]

Sure is a giant

[@DruryOutdoors]

You love seeing good people like that getting a nice animal.

[@user-wisrcounty]

I stopped listening @ 5:37🤡🤡

[@illinoispublicland4680]

Ill try to harder next time for you boss sorry I’m not better at talking 😢

[@DruryOutdoors]

We really enjoyed our conversation with him. It was a pleasure having him on the podcast and hearing his story firsthand.

[@user-wisrcounty]

The shooting whitetail at 60-80 yards comment is what turned me off then Matt's comment "Because its public land you have to at least try" is the biggest problem in bow hunting today Terrible mentality Terrible ethics we need to do better as a community if that's where we're at what happened to let's take ethical shots not just out there flinging arrows and lobbing bullets! We owe it to the animals. 90% of guys wound deer inside 30 yards myself included so why add another 30 to 40 yards for soooooooo many more things to go wrong just because of the age or size or because its on public land????

[@illinoispublicland4680]

@ could you not also argue that the keep it under 30-40 yards comment is more in relation to early compound days when technology of bows/equipment wasn’t as good and people weren’t shooting year round. I made the comment before saying that I shoot all year round. I really think with shooting more and the advancement in equipment 60 yards could be argued as the new 40. I do agree there is more room for error with further distance but I’d never take that shot on an alert deer. Thanks for clarifying the comment and it’s something I do appreciate about the online presence in the hunting space now. Everyone is entitled to voice their own opinions and I appreciate you sharing yours. Good luck this season.
