- DOUBLE DROPTINE Legend | Mark Drury’s 3 Year Quest for One of the Rarest Whitetails He’s Hunted.
On this episode of Deer Season 24, we share the full story of a double drop tine legend in Iowa. It all starts in the summer of 2021, as Mark Drury gets trail camera photos of a giant double drop tine buck that he estimated to be a 4.5yo. After a couple different great encounters that fall, Mark can’t wait to see what he looks like next year at age 5.5. The summer of ‘22 rolls around and the double drop tine buck has lost his drops! There are no encounters with him in the fall of ‘22. When the summer of ‘23 arrives, Mark and the guys are doing everything they can to prepare for the double drop. If he’s still alive, he will be 6.5yo this year and hopefully his drop tines are back! Mark and the guys finally get pictures of him in late October, and they are happy to see his double drop tines are back! After many hunts, and one encounter, Mark heads in on Thanksgiving evening with high hopes of laying eyes on this legendary whitetail. It isn’t long before Mark spots him in the grass, staring at the food plot. After what seems like forever, the double drop tine finally makes his way into bow range and offers Mark a shot. And that’s where the story really begins. We hope you enjoy this episode and as always thank you for watching!

Mark thanks for showing us the ugly side of hunting. It's a tough one because of the backlash you may get from the public, but despite that you showed it anyways and I applaud you! You owned up to your mistake and didn't try to sugar coat it or make excuses. And it happens to all of us, you hunt long enough you will make a bad shot. I assume that buck wasn't dead until days or maybe a week later due to infection. Some mature bucks are hard to kill and have one hell of a will to live. I've shot multiple bucks double lung, and the furthest one I ever tracked went 700 yrds. Hit top of lung and exited lower side of far lung. Could not believe it. I've had gut shot bucks go longer than 24 hrs before finding them still alive in their beds. There are no absolutes in hunting.
I could watch the Drurys hunt all day. I'll probably never get to hunt the Midwest for giant whitetails so I live that dream through you guys and gals. Thanks for all the wonderful footage. Amazing job. Just remember how lucky and blessed you guys are.
We appreciate you watching!
I have personally tracked with Tracker John just this last season with another popular hunter from another show and I was very impressed. He is next level and never gives up. That said you have to remember it can truly be like finding a needle in a haystack. In the case of the track we were on, he was successful due to his persistence. Best in the business.
Tracker John is the best!
No reason to apologize we all as hunters are going to experience this.! Happy you ate able to close the chapter!
Thank you so much for the kind words. We always try our best, but at the end of the day, we’re all human and things don’t always go according to plan.
I’ve used a LOT of your strategies in north Florida on the Alabama line to seal the deal on some big deer. I’ve watched you and your brother from the first DVD I found at Walmart. I appreciate all the content over the years, y’all are the true meaning of outdoorsman!
I can see the genetic traits of Goliath in that deer.
Great story telling as always! Thank you for bringing it to us!
Thanks for watching!
Wow super congrats!! Perseverance! We all make tactical mistakes and Mark you are an absolute pro!! So glad you found him.
Crazy story. Would be interesting to see all of the tracking you did on a map overview vs where he ended up. Just a crazy resilient animal. Glad you found him.
Yalls videos are amazing 👌👍
Thanks, we appreciate you watching!
I’m glad yall found him. What a good buck mark.
Congrats.
I’ve got 2 bucks on cam with 1drop tine this year. Hope to get one of them.
We appreciate it! Good luck this fall and let us know if you get one of them!
Beautiful character buck
Awesome content, yall put out top notch videos!
Appreciate it! Lots more to come this fall!
another great video! sorry to hear and see that Mark, but that is part of it. we're human and we get nervous in moments like that, nothing to be down about. learn from it and keep pushing! was an exciting hunt nonetheless. can't believe that was your first thanksgiving hunt! what a special day in the woods and around family. Thanksgiving and Halloween are two days I personally do not miss, as long as the weather is right! good luck & be safe this season, to the crew!
Thanks for the kind words and good luck this fall!
What an awesome story!
That deer got the biologic
One heck of a buck. At the 5:06 mark in 2021 he looked a lot like the Trap Line buck from back in the day. Pretty cool, I think you even shot the Trap Line buck out of that same plot/blind down in that bottom. Glad you were able to eventually recover him with some help from Jeff and Dave.
Should have called Drone Deer Recovery
Not sure if I would have told that story. Could not believe the ending.
Great Video guys
Thanks for watching!
Ive always said you can shoot high or low or forward and back and usually still be in the pot but its when you add both together issues arise
Unfortunate that you didn't recover him sooner, but at least you got the rack.
It seems that most of your hunting now is done in box stands over fields and food plots. Do you ever get back in the woods and hunt rub lines, scrapes, acorns, travel corridors, or thickets anymore?
I thought when you said tracker john was coming that it was gurentee. But if tracker john cant find that deer he must not be dead. Just goes to show there are no absolutes in hunting.
Sounds like a great encounter...can't call yourself a bowhunter if you have never been in this position!!!
Absolutely. Thanks for tuning in!
I'm genuinely curious how much the Lindsey's knew of that buck. I can see not talking about it while he's alive but since he died, did you guys swap any other stories of this buck?
good story! ❤
We're glad we could share it with you! Thanks for watching!
What poundage and draw length does mark shoot he's always blowing though with those big rages
It’s not much heard him say while back was between 52 55 pounds
I wonder what he would have been at 7? He had some bumps coming on , on every tine! Amazing stuff fellas, true giant we all dream of! Good on you for your efforts, i have become a fan over the yrs cause im a skeptical person but you all proved to me little by little that i was wrong! I hate to be like that but there is a lot of big productions out there that is just to much and it's Dollars over everything else most the time( bone collector) is one i go to cause i think they started out good and eventually just became product pushers ( rub line slime)! They seem to be trying to turn that around but it's almost to late! They seem to sway towards whatever the hunting trend is at the time! Unfortunate cause there personalities are awesome and very camera friendly with there comedic stuff! May just be me but i think they could have been really big stars but let to much corporate BS into it! Yall stay real and I'll stay tuned in! I listened to all y'all's stuff on Spotify and i get some good laughs! Keep on keeping on!
We appreciate the kind words, thanks for watching!
Awsomes story. Mark i remember watching you shoot skyscraper. It was cool to watch you shoot the double drop tine buck. What kind of field did he come out of was that crp or what
I’ve seen a triple drop I found one of his sides shed hunting
Mark. I would love to know how far you think he was from the place he was shot to the place he was found. was it hundreds of yards or more like miles? really curious for educational purposes,
I believe in the video towards the end he said it went about a half the opposite direction he was shot
Even tho unfortunately you guys didn’t kill him wasn’t Goliath a double drop as well?
Yes he was!
Good job man… quit beating yourself up. As hunters , we all understand. I could never have a full time hunting channel…😂 All of bad shots that I have made.
Mark ive got some bucks i would like you to take a look at they are north eastern missouri bucks.
That would really be badass if yall would use a tree stand maybe once 😂 bougie
He used to a lot when he was younger
After Terry fell out of one and literally broke his back, it shook us all up. We’re lucky he’s still alive. We still love our tree stands and still use them, but the box blinds have brought a lot of peace of mind after that incident. Not to mention, it allows us to get the footage that our online friends enjoy to watch.
I love footage from in the timber in treestand as well, but these blinds make it way more convenient to film and work well with the style of hunting they set their land up for.
That's a damn shame. Didn't look like you were on your pin when you shot.
It is what it is....yes it's horrible to find a deer you shot in that state...meat wasted...deer suffered greatly befor it died..but that how it goes sometimes....I havnt hunted for many years because of emotion tragedy I have been thru loosing my parents and my hole family
At least you will still have a skull mount out of a bad situation
Absolutely. It’s such a relief to find him, even if it isn’t the way we had hoped.
That was far back.
Sorry mark on this one you should have let him try and live another year.
Why didn't you stop him? Should never mess up that shot
In the moment, I felt like one more sound, and he was going to bolt. He had caught my mistakes twice and was on his way out. I felt like one more and he was gone. My mistake was not leading him enough. Thanks for watching and good luck to you this fall!
Who's to say someone else didn't shoot this deer after Thanksgiving with that span of time after wounding it?
The plugging of sponsors gets really old 24/7. You alwYs gotta say " reconyx" cameras or " biologic deer radishes" just stfu woth the sponsors. Its annoying. We get it. You have sponsors. But you dont have say there names ebrrytime you talk. Jeez its annoying.
Buddy learn how to spell or at least use spell check 😂
They mention the sponsors because that’s part of the deal to get the sponsorship. That’s how it works. If they didn’t mention it, people might not know a company sponsored them, which would defeat the purpose of the company investing in a sponsorship. This is basic business marketing.
Lost all interest when I seen the tree house blind
That's all they use
Lost all interest on your comment when I saw your pic on your profile
It's called an advantage. If you were hunting a buck you will never see again if it dies. I'm sure you would be doing the same thing. Pathetic comment
@@hardearnedyup!
Can't afford one so let's hate on the ones who can! Smh, these guys love managing these animals probably more than anyone, maybe even more than the lakowskis!most people strive to do a fraction of what these guys do for whitetail habitat!
All that money..that expensive equipment...
Gotta be good with your gear
This guy has kill more deer than you ever will. It’s not going to be perfect every time
As hunters, we do everything we can to try to make the best shot possible and have an uncomplicated recovery, but sometimes things don’t go according to plan.
@@kellenkelly695what does the # of kills have to do with anything? Btw you don't know me...good try. But if you have to rush the sh$t then you don't take it. You second guess and in that split second you aren't confident in placement. You're guessing..you know where you want it...but it's now a moving target. Ethical placement..when you rush...it's not there. I would have waited another time. My opinion that I'm entitled to my friend.
@@nuffsaid6807 my entitled opinion the people at dury out doors know way more about hunting than you
@@kellenkelly695this coming from someone that knows nothing about the person your ignorant ass is talking to.
I see you didn't argue my comment. Thanks. I'll take the win.
He took a dumb sh$t and made the animal suffer. He knows it. You know it.
Ethical placement is key. Not hurry because someone else will harvest him before you if you let him go.
Again thank you for the win. You can keep suckin up to these hunters. They don't know you either. Peace happy hunting.
