No Mercy: Mark Drury Manages a New Farm in Missouri!

[@btlietz]

Congrats on the little one coming! Wife and I had our first one a little over a year ago after 4 years of struggling with infertility. The most amazing gift the Lord has given us.

[@WNE8]

This instantly became one of my favorite DOD episodes. Not everyone can kill a 200 inch deer, but anyone can learn how to prep the land in hopes of attracting better wildlife. Thank you Drury Outdoors!

[@sharpstickoutdoors]

This is without question my favorite video you have put out on KZbin yet. I LOVE this type of stuff!

[@mikebell611]

awesome video. Need more "Food Plot/Habitat 101" videos start to finish.

[@kirkmartin4908]

I've watch this video several times and I'm not sure if Mark knows how valuable this is for us hunters to see. Many of us have land and are wanting to do this type of thing but are not always sure of what to do. These type videos our invaluable to us. Thank you for taking the time to do this type of thing. It is very much appreciated.

[@ramrodrymensnyder2648]

I've always been a bit on the fence about Mark, bit there is no doubt that in watchimg this video, he is putting the work in. a lot of people talking trash about how nice it must be to have unlimited money yada yada yada...there is nobody holding you down. Go get you some. Its obvious from this video that this dude is a work horse. work hard...big rewards. Its just that simple...if you're watching his videos and complaining about " must be nice to be rich" TURN THE COMP OFF AND GET YOU SOME. Big props to Mark for putting hard work in and getting to harvest the fruits of his labor. This video definitely gave me a new found respect for him.

[@mohunter68]

You hit the nail right on with that comment. I met Mark at Bass Pro Shop in Columbia, Mo. once and to me he was a Celebrity, but he spoke to me like I was his neighbor, Super nice guy and much taller than he looks in his videos.

[@ramrodrymensnyder2648]

Yeah, it's easy to watch the videos he puts out and assume that he is just hunting low pressure private land deer that most of us "average Joe's " will never have the opportunity to hunt. That being said...this video really puts into perspective the work that he is putting in to have the opportunity to hunt deer like that. Not really my cup of tea, I'm a die hard public land guy. I love the challange of going in and hunting big, old, smart public land giants, but I darn sure respect Mark and his crew for making happen what they make happen. The great thing about this beautiful country we live in is that there are unlimited opportunities to make your dreams come true. Hard work mixed with a little good luck and we all have the same opportunities to make it happen. Every day we wake up, we all have the chance to make our dreams come true...the difference between people like Mark and the people that talk trash is that instead of talking trash, Mark goes out and bust his butt every day to hunt the way he wants to hunt. Nobody holding anyone down in this country...GO GET YOU SOME.

[@bidenhasdementia8657]

".there is nobody holding you down. Go get you some".(regarding money, and the opportunity to make it) Those days are long gone. The day of the go getter and the hard worker are dead. And unless you are willing to take on debt just to build up credit, good luck getting a loan to start a business. With that said I don't hate on anyone who has big money and tons of free time, wish it was me. I'll hit the lottery one day, then I can really make some big money.

[@ramrodrymensnyder2648]

Obama Colluded With Putin . That's a cop out. I started out working for minimum wage doing construction right out of high school. Worked odd jobs my 20s and into my 30s. Eventually worked my way up to being a project manager for a big commercial construction company. We have had ads out for a year now looking for guys. Sure its hard work but we do 90% prevailing wage work. My field guys usually are making at the very minimum 40$ an hour. We would be happy to take someone with no experience who showed up every day and was willing to learn. There is a big problem in this country with people having the exact attitude you are displaying. Not trying to talk trash to you but if you think there are no opportunities in this country you must be hiding from them. I have had MAYBE 10 responses to ads...IN A YEAR.

[@Bamamike223]

CHILLS!!! As a true Whitetail Hunter, you watch some Hunting videos that are cool, THEN those that give you CHILLS!!!!! This was BY FAR the most informative, educational, in depth, thorough, and just down right BEST Whitetail Property Development I have ever seen! I literally feel like I'm ready to start Development. And the man took less than 20 minutes to do it. AMAZING!! Thanks Mark and the entire DOD Crew!! DOD 4 Life!!!!!!!!!

[@liennetwidwell1524]

Love this area in MO. It butts up to our property. We have been hunting and watching the deer there for the last 10 years.

[@catchemalive]

I've never seen anyone in person or on any tv show yet that can match the passion Mark Drury has for hunting mature buck deer!!! That man is eat up with it. Haha. Great show guys!!

[@robertcurtis3670]

Well done!!! Mark, you really laid out the foundation of how you can quickly develop a piece of property that is completely wooded. I learned a lot watching just this one episode. I'd really enjoy if you created more videos like this. I look forward to more videos of property development. Keep up the great work!!!

[@WhitetailFit]

I absolutely love this episode!!! Can't wait to own a farm some day!

[@DROPTINE]

GREAT STUFF Mark. I learned so much in this 18 minute feed, Thanks for sharing the Mind of the MAD SCIENTIST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Larry342516]

Great video. Thank you Mark.

[@bradbrockhaus633]

There is a lot to learn from this video! Great job Mark Drury!

[@seabwebster5995]

We need more episodes like this!! Great learning tools for the average hunter.

[@onecrazytruckinfarmer]

I love this. I am definitely taking notes. Top notch guys great job.

[@braunie69]

1000% DOD needs to do more land management type video's and not just hunting. Maybe each spring show how you decide what food you are putting in and the process of planting ect.... A PLUS Video...

[@Kahwuwiqhfhkgehi29260]

Definitely a small world, grew up 1/2 mile from this place. Only problem there can be highway 65...had several big deer get hit on the road over the years. Great vid on items to consider when landscaping a property. Cattle can be a huge problem....good fences make good neighbors!!!

[@zilphy605]

I live on highway 65 and 36😁

[@brentstringer8504]

I was wishing it was more than 18 minutes...lol. I could watch habitat management stuff all day! To me there is more to hunting than just going to the woods in hopes of shooting an animal. Always leave it better than you found it.

[@peterbell3199]

I love these videos about planning and building a food plot. If you could incorporate some of the Greg Millers map overlays, showing directions, winds, bedding , etc. It would really help us hunters understand better.

[@OutlawMediaProductions]

this was so sick, marks mind is always looking forward, two steps ahead! awesome segment fellas! more of this please!

[@DruryOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@3870TheDad]

What a way to build your farm for success. Awesome video.

[@deepwoodsgoathunter]

Soil conditioner looks awesome. I dozed out a two acre old field area last August. I need one of those!

[@carlrasmussen3267]

Excellent video. Used to hunt in Putnam County, neighbors Mercer to the east. Top quality deer habitat. Huge bucks available.

[@gregoryhunts3006]

By far one of the most educational channel's on KZbin. You guys are amazing at what you do. I hope one day to own my own land and put your practices to use.. We have 600 acres in Wisconsin that is family owned but the guy's who own it would never do this kind of stuff. They only want the timber to grow for money. We have no food plot's or water and now because of everyone around us doing plots.. No deer.. Just bears wolves coyotes bobcats and a mountain lion. Put in almost 200 hours on stand last year and saw 9 deer the whole time.. 25yrs ago Id see 50-100 every weekend. Over hunting and the dnr flooding the market with tags has decimated Wisconsin's deer herds. Maybe it's time to move and find land elsewhere. .

[@jerimahjohnson8698]

Gregory Gofuckurself cut the timber if it's mature ...select cut makes it way better

[@kennynewell85]

Great information. Really cool to see the journey. More like to see more like this if the opportunity arises.

[@donaldbarron3431]

This farm was done right guys have some great hunts in the future enjoy wish i could still hunt

[@DruryOutdoors]

Thank ya, sir! I really appreciate it!

[@bobsandylovinggodagain7811]

You Guys and gals ROCK

[@jeffamckee]

Nice! I think that I like doing habitat improvements better than I like hunting. Can't wait for spring here in Michigan! I have my excavator all lined up for the food plots. The chain saw and habitat hook for hinge cutting are ready to go!

[@outdoorlivin2600]

Great videos guys! Learn more and more every time. Keep the information coming!

[@bendrixbailey1430]

Mark, that was quite a piece of habitat engineering. The local wildlife likely appreciate the food and cover you efforts provided. I’ve got one question regarding your use of bait piles to do camera surveys. With what we know about the spread of disease between deer when they are concentrated, isn’t there some other way to survey the deer without the risk of spreading CWD etc? Thanks for the education in property enhancements. Its inspirational!

[@phenn7774]

Very exciting to see this. Hope to own my own chunk someday

[@rep1989]

I loved this episode please do more land management videos.

[@jasonhall7730]

I'd love to have wades job. Wouldn't care if I got to hunt just getting a chance to learn from mark would be worth it.

[@rhino062465]

Definitely a great video with awesome info land managers need to grow big deer and turkeys !

[@thunter578]

I'd love to have the money to do it, rewarding and fun as hell.

[@woody65536]

Do you have an update on this farm yet? I'd like to see how the turkey hunting went this past spring and how the deer hunting is going now!

[@heartlanddeermanagement1690]

Love the video... looks liked it turned out very well

[@indianahoosier7113]

Man that is a hunters dream ... Nice farm Mark.

[@dorancefitzsimonds136]

Excellent video. Now I only hope I can use what it taught me.

[@tedintessimone6985]

Looks amazing..Good luck hunting..

[@CrazyForFlint]

Love this. Definitely want to see more. One of the coolest videos you guys have put up. Great work

[@whitetailrealityoutdoors958]

Question for Mark and DODTV. I have a 90 acre lease in TN. It’s land locked on all sides with only one access. The field road going to my gate is nothing but crop fields and it’s my only way in. My question is since I have a good tower blind on the back side in a hay field with lots of cedar trees in it the hay is around knee high in the fall and I was wondering if it would hurt to drive all the way back thru the property and park when the winds right to walk to that blind instead of walking all the way through the property to get to it?I know the deer will tolerate some vehicle traffic over human traffic. I’ve drove through fields just to have them come back out after I go through. With no back access to that stand I figured driving to the back and a short walk to the blind with the wind right would be better than walking all the way through the farm. It’s mainly a observatory/rifle set anyway. Could be a bow set on occasion. Your thoughts !!! Plz

[@nickbaloo2167]

Every hunters dream right here! Owning a chunk of land and shaping it into a big buck Mecca !

[@aarongoeppner413]

Great video fellas!! Hope to see yall at the ATA show next weekend!

[@dmontrose7446]

Real educational! Great video.

[@matthewflorio684]

You guys make the best videos in the world keep it up

[@tannerrosenbarker5617]

Hey guys, really enjoy watching your guys hunts and tips. Love watching how you guys manage the land so well and harvest amazing deer. Watching the food plot videos just makes me want to work on my own, I made my first one last year..had the most pictures of bucks we’ve ever had however most were not very mature, they were usually 4 points or spikes and some okay 6 points. Was wondering if you had any tips, we have 200 acres of just very thick cover and a big pond with 2 very small food plots. We live in New York

[@bidenhasdementia8657]

I'd love to show him what some thick dense cover is in eastern NC cutover country. That was some of the most open timber I've ever seen.

[@zacharyhorvath7961]

You're telling me man it's unblieveable how thick it is in eastern NC but I've shot my first buck last year when he walked out of the brush lol I love but sometimes a pain in the butt

[@dadlife333]

More videos like this. Love it

[@koltongraham3556]

I live 20 mins away from there so cool

[@TheIceman101]

That's a good looking tract.

[@stephenpat6832]

Excellent video

[@thebanginbucks8433]

Just got property in Pa and did some videos on scouting it hoping it pays off and great vid I love it

[@pkoutdoors0692]

Great video. This spring in ng I can't wait to make a food plot a have better success this fall. Keep producing great tips.

[@pkoutdoors0692]

Whoops I made a typo

[@marcusgoodpaster3901]

Can you guys do an update video on this place and show what kind of bucks your getting here now???

[@jerimahjohnson8698]

Hope to be doing the same thing soon in Ohio. What did you do with all the trees you dozed???

[@gramps5157]

Different but it was fun to watch.

[@mohunter68]

This video proves to all the haters out there that Mark doesn't just sit back and let someone else do all the hard work, he and Terry have worked their tails off over the years to get where they are at. The Proof and Success are in the videos they make when they harvest the fruits of their labor. What I think is the coolest thing ever is All the friends and family that they've taken out and allowed to hunt with them so it's not just about themselves or the Almighty dollar. One side note you may not know about Mark is that he is a Champion Turkey Caller and an Absolute Gobbler Assassin!

[@thetruthispotenza3602]

The music had me cracking up hahaha

[@deercatchersoutdoors330]

Hopefully I can do this soon

[@deadaccount7015]

Hey, nice video! At what time of month did u plant the clover?

[@gus_8318]

Man whitetail farming has become pretty lucrative.

[@whitetailrealityoutdoors958]

Gus_83 filming it is not easy. I know first hand.

[@renbrower3137]

Can I come hunting with y'all any time I have no luck at my farm I watch Durary outdoors all of the time

[@elevatedobsession1243]

Good stuff fellas!

[@nequiaklein7211]

Great video

[@coreyfrasnelly7364]

Mark Drury’s intelligence is second 2 none give him 120 thick acres and he turns it into a QDMA showroom

[@Nandez97]

Have you guys considered doing a meet and greet in Mercer County?

[@justinperrin9503]

I remember a video on your Instagram of 2 four wheelers flying by on your trail camera, what that this farm?

[@elkmo41]

They earned all that "scratch" .

[@steelernation56]

Was this farm bought or leased?

[@stetsongriffin7489]

Awesome

[@codydavis6620]

Cool video!! Is it rude to ask if you get paid for this? Just wondering if this is something you get hired to do for people?

[@LdHrothgar]

Must be nice to have 100s of thousands of dollars to buy all that land, have equipment to carve out plots like that, all to get some deer and turkeys... I'd do it if I had that much scratch.

[@LdHrothgar]

And just to be clear, I don't begrudge him doing it... it's his money, he can do what he wants... but as someone that bought 20 acres where I can afford it and is doing improvements on the weekends when I have the time and extra cash... it would sure be nice to have some of that gear, I could use a dozer or tractor to clear plots, make trails, mow, seed...

[@DruryOutdoors]

it's 95% dedication and patience... but the right equipment can definitely help. We've seen some amazing bucks taken by everyday hunters applying the tactics or science we use. check out our DeerCast Braggin' Board series, it's all average joe's blowing us out of the water, LOL!

[@LdHrothgar]

Sadly my place is in the eastern Ozarks, almost down into the boot heel so I I'm not likely to pull big bucks, I'll be lucky to fill my tags, but I'm working on improving the chances. My wife wants to plant clover in the rifle range, that way she'll know the range to any deer wandering through and have a place setup to shoot from already. ;)

[@mikehart7390]

Is this in Mercer Missouri?

[@timothymiller1063]

How do you get entered for the pse

[@nathanmuckala980]

How do I hunt with you guys?

[@moncier77]

I hope to hunt in northern Missouri

[@Kevincrow420]

moncier77 Where are you from?

[@moncier77]

Kelvin Crowe I’m in southeast Missouri.

[@teammit]

Wish I had money I’m just a working man Maybe one day

[@TheBuckPsych]

Money$

[@johnthao4902]

Wondering if you get tired of hunting from food plots??

[@whitetailrealityoutdoors958]

John Thao why ?????

[@bendrixbailey1430]

Without a doubt. Year after year, the deer just come to the same food, you shoot the same shot. Reminds me of a story where hell for a deer hunter was to shoot the same deer over and over again never leaving the stand for eternity. I have a wheat plot that I bring novices to because it is exciting and rewarding for them, but I don’t hunt it and won’t let anyone hunt it for more than a season. If you don’t get out and scout natural movement, sit out the uncertainty of a trail (away from the food plot) and experience the pleasure of learning how a deer lives, you’ll miss out on the best part of deer hunting. Food plots serve a purpose, but perpetually hunting over one would be hell for me.

[@bretttwidwell4470]

So if this place was so great why did Mark Drury sell it already?

[@trebor44089]

Find a better spot... Or make your spot better... hmmmm LOL I can only dream of being able to afford something like this....this video dam well better have some follow up videos with results !

[@trebor44089]

bowhunter 4 life not exactly what i meant.... i would be doing similar things.. if i could afford them lol

[@williamlittle2814]

So how do you go About laying out a 135 acre property that has virtually no changes in elevation?? No year round water supply and is surrounded by brown its down meat hunters??

[@DruryOutdoors]

water is pretty key to getting deer to stay in and around your location. do you have the space or resources to make a small pond on the property? like most animals, food and a water source are going to be the top things on their list of needs.

[@williamlittle2814]

Yes we have plans for a pond to be dug before summer hits and dries up all the low areas currently holding scant amount of temporary water and we put in a 2 acre food plot but only have barely gotten white clover to become established. That is why I would like some feedback on an arial photo to help get and go in the right direction

[@osamabintrash24]

Try pike county Missouri

[@Dougarrowhead]

That is not a farm. Its woods. There is a big difference. You cant call any piece of land a farm. You cant make money farming that brush!

[@robertcasagrande9661]

Must be nice to have limitless $$$ and resources.

[@timhawley5081]

😢😢😢😢

[@ethanfleming1689]

Well keep your head down and work hard like they have and youll get there!

[@joeschilling9308]

Why are you putting out 200lbs of corn as you said in front of your cameras in Mercer county? CWD zone. Placing corn or minerals is illegal!

[@nickw101381]

No... HUNTING over bait in Missouri is illegal. You can feed them as long as you're not hunting within 10 days after removal of bait. And minerals are okay. It's legal here to hunt over minerals. Not saying it's recommended up there in CWD areas, but it's perfectly legal.

[@nick8649]

Bueatiful job bye the drury family however the average joe can’t spend thousands of dollars on food plots like that.

[@danbrown4721]

Who the hell does all this for deer I love deer hunting but God damn

[@stanwebb2272]

Just maybe other hunters will fallow your lead.... managing the land leads to animal growth and liberty for all God's Being's Characters..... animals not being cared for is just unmoral in the eyes of the lord.......

[@LouStoriale]

You guys definitely put in the work and $$$ But No one hunts like Dan Infalt. You guys are working hard here, but you are more ranch managers than hunters. Get out in the MARSH on public land like The Hunting Public guys and Dan Infalt... no offense, but it is what it is.. This is ranch management for hunting not Hunting.

[@TotallyL337]
