OK.... you are given the choice to hunt with either Mark Drury or Lee Lakosky on their farms. Who do you choose and why? Those are the only two choices.

From: 4nolz@work
19-Jun-23
Can they get me a Governors Tag?

From: Blood
19-Jun-23
Lee, he still bow hunts from tree stands….. not a shed on stilts in an alfalfa field. But I would not use Rages.

From: midwest
19-Jun-23
It would be an honor to hunt with either one. Self made, successful whitetail addicts.

From: fastflight
19-Jun-23
Easy answer is both but I have pry watched more Drury videos than Lakosky so if I had to choose it would be a Drury.

From: MQQSE

Midwest +1

Option C: The Lindsey’s

Lee, he still bow hunts from tree stands….. not a shed on stilts in an alfalfa field. But I would not use Rages.

Lol, lees killed a bunch of deer out of a shed on stilts

19-Jun-23
I’ll take Tiffany over either of those two.

From: RK
19-Jun-23
Neither. There are so many better hunter and more entertaining people to hu t with.

If those were the only hunters , does not matter. Flip a coin.

From: Slate
19-Jun-23
Neither. Both annoying. Rather hunt my own property

From: scentman
19-Jun-23
Lee, with the far chance he would get a cold...so I would have to settle sitting in a groundblind with Tiffany;0]

19-Jun-23
No thank you.

From: Jaquomo
19-Jun-23
I would pay good money to not have to sit in a blind listening to Tiff all day.

19-Jun-23
Who cares about listening to her? :^)

From: Smtn10PT
19-Jun-23
Id say Lee, he seems more likely to let a guest shoot a real top end deer.

From: JohnMC
19-Jun-23
What about Bill Busbice, Spook Spann or maybe Josh Bowmar.

From: t-roy
19-Jun-23
John……the question was basically who would you rather hunt with, NOT who would you rather shoot. As to your choices, can it be multiple choice??

Less of a fan of Mark Drury, but I’d not pass at the chance to hunt with either him or Lee. Like em or not, they know their stuff about whitetails.

From: buckhammer
19-Jun-23
Take me back 10 years and I am hunting with Bill Winke on the farm he sold a couple of years ago. He owned 960 continuous acres in S.E. Iowa.

19-Jun-23
Dang deer season need to get here lol

From: thedude
20-Jun-23
I'd sit on my couch and fart on myself. Just more dipshits using other dipshits to support their grift.

From: Willieboat
20-Jun-23
Which one likes to drink beer ? That’s who I would pick

From: ahawkeye
20-Jun-23
Nothing against Mark Drury I just think Lee would be a better fit for me. Both have accomplished what I could only dream about.

From: pav
20-Jun-23
Dream hunt? Either would likely be fun, but not what I would consider a "dream hunt".

If Lee could swing me an Iowa archery buck tag, considering my current points total, that's my choice! No offense to Mark...but I'd choose Iowa over Missouri every time!

From: Bowbender
20-Jun-23
Sorry, hunting deer over manicured food plots, from heated box blinds, while listening to Drury's doe eyed daughter whisper advice, or Tiff's nasally whiny voice, ain't my idea of a dream hunt.

Honestly, I'll take the two weeks I get to hunt with my son chasin' whitetails on a new piece of ground we got. If pressed to name a dream hunt, it would be spending 10 days or so hunting elk with some of our elk killers on here.

From: PECO2
20-Jun-23
Lee and Tiffany.

From: tobywon
20-Jun-23
It would be either for me. Both seem like good people from what I've seen. Maybe I'd edge towards the Drurys. They have fun and seem like good people/family to be around.

20-Jun-23
Lee & Tiffany here. This couple truly are whitetail addicts and have them figured out.

20-Jun-23
I grew up watching the Drurys and have learned so much from Mark I would pick him. Agree I'm not a fan visually of watching the box blind hunts but a appreciate Mark's personality and approach to continually learning and using data to becoming smarter hunters

From: Will
20-Jun-23
Flip a coin. I'm a diy woods hunter, so the whole thing would be weird for me. But as a once in a life time experience, hard to go wrong. I think I'd err to Mark if pressed though. Only because years and years and years ago I thought he and Terry had the best VHS tapes money could buy. Ironic as I dont know that I've watched anything they have put out in about 10 yrs!

From: Michael
20-Jun-23
Depends if it’s a pre rut or a rut hunt.

Pre rut I would say Mark. Rut hunt I would say Lee.

From: TonyBear
20-Jun-23
Neither, how about one of the Wensels instead? Or if one really wants to dream how about Ishi, Aldo Leopold, Fred Bear, Roy Case or Pope & Young.

If we really want to dream, just one more time out with my Dad who passed away 30 years ago this year, or even my grandpa who I never met. Died when my Dad was 7. Oh wait, I am thinking he and all my ancestors, God are with me in Spirit on most hunts, which is more important to me than any hunting personality.

From: Buskill
20-Jun-23
I’m reading a lot of negative opinions on here about box blinds over food plots. Is that the new thing that separates real hunters from wannabes now? It’s hard to keep up with what I need to bitch about according to several on this page.

From: Slate
20-Jun-23
You guys could all kill deer like them if you had their property. They don’t know anymore than most. Just hunt the best of the best properties. Location location location

Marcus lol

Do you mean dream shoot?

From: bigswivle
20-Jun-23
I’d rather go elk hunting with Lee. lol

From: JohnMC

Tony Bear I am going pheasant hunting this year with Ishi. I am excited about it too.

I apologize to the OP for trying to be funny. Looks like everyone run with it.

I don’t know who I’d choose. I’d hunt with most anyone so it doesn’t matter much.

From: midwest
20-Jun-23
"You guys could all kill deer like them if you had their property."

Yeah, but we don't have their property soooooo...

From: Mule Power
20-Jun-23
Probably Lee. Has nothing to do with the hunt. I’m sure I’d be happy with both. I think I’d have more fun at night shooting the shit with Lee though.

From: KSBOW
20-Jun-23
If you have followed Lee in anything besides the tv show, youtube, podcasts, etc... He constantly talks about the show and all be a means to end. Have heard him say several times would rather have no cameras or everything that goes with it but it has allowed him to live his dream and own the property we all dream about.

20-Jun-23
Wonder if either has supported the Iowa Bowhunters Association. Ever?

From: SaddleReaper
20-Jun-23
Lee seems like a genuinely good dude. Not that the Drurys don't seem to be genuine, but hunting with Lee would be an easy choice for me.

"You guys could all kill deer like them if you had their property. They don’t know anymore than most. Just hunt the best of the best properties."

Maybe so..... but I'd bet since they get to work at this stuff 365 days a year while focusing on and perfecting every facet of hunting/ land & deer management, that they could probably teach most of us a thing or two.

I also don't particularly care to watch box blind hunts, seemingly nonstop (*cough* Drurys), but that doesn't mean that these guys have forgotten how to kill deer the "regular" way.

From: Slate
20-Jun-23
There always has to be a wise ass. Sooooooo

From: LTG 11
20-Jun-23
I think this is a dumb exercise in general but im bored, so I'll play.

I know a guy who hosted the drury brothers for a hunt. The hunt was supposed to be a trade. They came up and hunted. Both shot good bucks and said come on down whenever you want.

After spending 5-7 days with them, he said he would rather chalk it up as a loss than spend another minute with either one of them.

I've never heard him bad mouth another human being.

I pick Lee.

From: APauls
20-Jun-23
I hope their tractors are fuelled by jealousy and not today's fuel prices. They can prob farm the entire US lol Don't know much about either one, other than that they seem to love hunting whitetails and in fact are quite fanatical about it which seems a lot like me. So I guess either.

From: DanaC
21-Jun-23
"He constantly talks about the show and all be a means to end."

Sounds like he's figured out how to make his passion pay for itself. Good marketing. Not many can do that on a high level (although a lot *try*.)

From: carcus
21-Jun-23
either, I used to love watching dream season episodes as the season approached.

From: Dale06
21-Jun-23
Both are quite successful hunters, on land that’s super groomed for trophy hunting and growing big bucks. Nothing wrong with that. But I’d much rather hunt with my son, friends or brothers. I’ll pass on the celebrity hunts.

From: Kannuck
21-Jun-23
Neither. Thanks, but no thanks.

From: bigswivle
21-Jun-23
Good lord at the house lee and Tiffany just built. Thing looks amazing

From: mallardsx2
22-Jun-23
I would be afraid I would try to start talking like lee while I was talking to him. You know that annoying voice he has, that I would FOR SURE try to replicate in person. lol

From: Bent arrow
22-Jun-23
I call those sheds on stilts.OUTHOUSES. Both are arrogant if u meet um at a trade show. Know lots better people to hunt with.

22-Jun-23
No knock on either of those families, but I’d like to go hunt with the Hunting Public guys. Just more my style.

From: BC173
23-Jun-23
That’s me too Embry, or the Wensels.

From: Michael
23-Jun-23
Zach from the hunting public knows his stuff. With that said I tend to not watch any content with him in it now days. Too obnoxious for me.

23-Jun-23
I'm with Rick, would love to hunt with the hunting public guys. They may have just about ruined public land but deer hunting needed the shot in the arm and a diversion back to its roots that they offered. I'm just not a big fan of the big landowner/guided hunt media presence. Nothing against those who do it

From: Boreal
23-Jun-23
I wouldn't hunt one of the best pieces of private whitetail ground in existence because I don't like the owners voice...sheesh!

From: Shug
23-Jun-23
Ned for the win!!!

From: Buckdeer
23-Jun-23
Sounds like some jealousy floating around today,if you can't say something nice you shouldn't say anything at all

From: 12yards
23-Jun-23
Heck with those two, I'd pick t-roy! LOL. Just kidding, I'd never pass up an opportunity to hunt with either one.

23-Jun-23
I'd hunt their farms, but not with them per se.

From: spike78
23-Jun-23
Too easy hunting with either one. I like a challenge.

From: Rgiesey
23-Jun-23
I was going with nothing at all but I failed. Would be cool to get permission on their places. But wouldn’t be interested in hunting with either.

From: WhattheFOC
24-Jun-23
Weird question. Nothing personal, but no way I’d trade a day hunting at home with my peeps for a day with the celebs. I have no desire to go fishing with Taylor Swift either.

From: Duke
24-Jun-23
Lee. I’ve only met him once and watched their shows, but seems like he’s my pace of person and hunter and would enjoy learning from him.

From: midwest
24-Jun-23
I have no desire to kill their big bucks but would be happy to do some doe control for them and experience the rut on their well managed farms. I bet the stories they have are epic. Always like listening to highly successful people who took all the risks and worked their ass off to achieve their dreams.

From: HDE
26-Jun-23
Which one of those two is the one that used to be a "Rockstar"? That's the one I'd go with.

From: iceman
26-Jun-23
what midwest said originally. Both are self made and outstanding at it. I'm good with either one.
