Taylor Drury of Drury Outdoors was thrilled to share a pictures and a video after she harvested a giant buck. In a Facebook post Mark from Drury Outdoors wrote
BOONER ALERT: Taylor killed a 5.5 year old 184″ Iowa giant – Her biggest buck with a bow and the buck of a lifetime!! “Superstar” read the script and gave her a 25 yard shot with her PSE Archery Premonition PSE. She’s shooting 43 pounds and the Rage SS hit home going straight through the heart… INCREDIBLE way to kick off Phase 3! So proud of the hunter she has become. Can’t wait for everyone to see the footage Scott Rupert laid down on Season 4 of THIRTEEN because it’s a 20/20!!

Unfortunately, her Instagram account and Facebook post were quickly filled with death threats and cruel comments from anti-hunters calling her a “coward” and asking her to “please die.” Drury Outdoors deleted the original post before sharing it again a few days later. The tide changed and dozens of people who had learned of the negative comments came out to support Taylor. Instagram user tabsyo wrote
“Thank you for being an amazing role model to girls like myself!”
User Cameronlacy10 encouraged Taylor to ignore the hateful words saying,
“I just heard about all of the negative comments and death threats that you’ve been getting on @druryoutdoors Facebook page don’t listen to what anyone says and never apologize for being a hunter people are dumb they don’t realize the work that you got put into growing food plots so you can have a healthy deer herd nice buck keep up the hard work!!!”
Coy_scott 184 summed things up nicely with his comment,
“Wow congratulations all the anti’s haven’t a clue on what’s good for the animals if it weren’t for hunters management natural management would kick in in ways like disease an sickness it’s not a pretty sight not to mention the big percentage of money raised by hunters for conservation keep up what your doing never apologize.”
