That’s an awesome way to send your dad out, I know my dad would have loved that cuz he sure loved Turkey huntin, congrats boys on a great bird you definitely earned that one.
I can certainly feel the meaning and emotion in this one. My dad passed April 12th. So that's always a big deal for me in the spring. I like to take his old Wingmaster to the woods. Even if I don't hear a gobble, it just feels right.
Made a rookie mistake and buggered one last week by getting to close and not being patient. I moved and he flew 40 yds from me. Awesome content! Appreciate a the hard work y’all put in to show us how it’s done!
Now that was a heck of a turkey hunt! That is a wonderful tribute to your Dad and I’m sorry for your loss. Please pass on your knowledge and love for hunting to your grandkids. Thanks very much for sharing this special hunt with us!
Very special moment captured on camera. Thank you for sharing. Very Touching and truly brings out the meaning of this love affair with chasing turkeys.
I don't know if Sleazy is the first to ever think of this idea, but dang sure the first I've ever seen do it. This hunt was epic on so many levels. Congratulations guys! That was amazing!
Told my boys 3 years ago I wanted some of my ashes loaded up in some turkey shells for moments just like this. A great way to remember your Dad and the times you spent in the woods. Missouri was a challenge this year but I savored every moment. Great hunt guys......
sorry to be so off topic but does anybody know a method to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot the login password. I would love any help you can give me.
@Jesse Duncan thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Sleezie and Dave in the timber is like watching Montana and Rice . . Congrats Kin Foke on another good'n . . Load'n up Pop's in them shells was solid 💪 . I've told my daughter to do this with me for years now . .
Congratulations. What superb way to honor your father. Started at the gate and body surfed your way all morning👍. Best of luck the rest of the way and keep em coming#pureexcellence
That hunt describes just what this 2020 season was like. We called a few we ambushed a few ridge runners and out distanced all the other Covid vacationers but we prevailed...great hunt guys
Great hunt guys, thanks for carrying us along with you.! Old "blabbermouth" finally ran into the wrong hunters! Sleazy, I'm sorry to hear about your Dad. God Bless him and your family. You thought of the best and most creative way to spread his ashes !!! I just changed my will amid all this Covid mess and now I know what to do with my ashes, brilliant! Did you get a fancy new camera, Dave, or is that Sleazy's? "' We got that old runner"...
Definitely been more pressure this year than normal in OH as well. I crawled up to a public land bird this weekend that hung up at 60 yards. Never would’ve even tried that before seeing how successful you are with that on stubborn birds.
Congratulations on bird. And sorry about your father that will be a tuff tuff day that I hope never happens! But it really shows the person you are how you loaded the shells with part of him. That’s super awesome after watching I drove over just so my father could see this video very very touching. Happy hunting guys I was having withdrawals on videos Dave 😂 soon as I seen it! And I look forward to hunting with you and having you hunt are properties that bump game lands. And know your always welcome and he’ll if you wanna do food plots I’ve got more then enough equipment and planters to do so we will be in touch tho
Condolences on your loss. What a great hunt and way to stick it out. I just cant place the fellas accent. "grand youngins" .. must be from the North ya reckon. Dave stated to whistle, at first i thought it was another one of his calls in his bag of tricks
Great series of video content Dave. I've enjoyed them so much I have decided to take up Turkey hunting. I'm 59 yrs old and never hunted. I've only done some sport shooting. I have a very limited budget, so my question to you is: What camo pattern do you recommend as a good all rounder? I can only afford one set of clothing for this at the moment. I live just south of Atlanta and plan to stay in Georgia and South Carolina for the most part. I need to stay on the low cost side of the quality level also. Can you do a video for beginners on needed start-up equipment? Thanks again for the videos.
This was absolutely awesome! Chasing after birds in mountain hardwoods like that can't be beat and a real challenge on public! Can someone tell me what pants these fella's were wearing?
Can you just make a full length movie one year? Round up the whole crew and hit the road and just put something special together. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Sorry about your dad brother. April 26 made 4 years since mine passed and I talk to him and the good lord at the car before every hunt. Awesome hunt too power move!
One of your best. You boys worked for that loudmouth. Love the final story by your partner at the end. Wonder why he was a little choked up when he picked up the bird. Totally understand. My dad was a loner, no one even knew he died but me. He was cremated as ordered. The last few years I tried to get him out, go for a ride, go ice fishing, anything, Nothin doin. When I picked up the carboard box, I put him my passenger's seat and said, well dad, you ain't got no choice now, your going for a ride. He spent a year in my truck till I decided where he wanted to be spread. After a year of thinking on it. When he was 35ish, he, my mom, who he carried, polio, two kids and a dog would go deep in the Maine woods by boat, his favorite place to stay was a far remote island on a far remote lake, one week of fishing, a young wife, health, youth, camping, fishing, that's where he is now and forever. People would hop in my truck and I'd toss the box in the back, what's that they'd ask? It's my dad. The facial expressions where priceless.
That was one tough hunt and some serious chasing after that loud mouth. Wonder how many others were after him and just gave up? Congrats on an awesome bird, and will deserved.
Tomorrow is my last day to turkey hunt this year I only get about 6-8 days to hunt and I have never seen so many people in all my life I had to get to a spot at 3 am because by 4.30 10 trucks had already come by and most was out of staters
Great hunt. Condolences on the passing of your dad. Great way to honor him. I've been hunting turkeys 41 years and I've seen more people in the woods this year than all the other years put together. You couldn't pay me to wave a tail fan in the air. Lol. Luckily the good Lord lets the bass come up on the bed this time a year. Stay safe.
People ain’t at work so they are in the woods. ! Yep 👍 hunting the same bird as Dave Owens hmmm smh !! That compares to a 140 lb prize fighter taking on mike Tyson in a ten by ten rink !!! It’s not going to end well ! That’s the only problem about a vocal bird on public. It attracts many ! Congratulations on your first bird with some daddy’s love !! Great video Dave !! 🦃🦃🦃
I suppose it all depends on your definition of bushwhack. But we do rely on woodsmanship as our #1 tool and calling follows. If you can beat their eyes, you’ve done pretty good I figure.
great eposide! Corna has put a hurting on the turkeys this year. i can't remember a time during middle of week i'm running into people like i have this year.
Y’all think y’all hunting a hunter rich environment, y’all should come hunt with me . Turkeys will gobble on the roost & start trucking in the opposite direction. You gotta out smart them. You gotta hit the call & pack up in a sprint in a big circle & shut up. Catch them walking out the back like a mature buck . These eastern are tough boy. They normally gobble around 15-30 times in the tree & by 8 am they shut down.
Awesome hunt guys. That's what I call getting after one for sure. Love to go on a hunt with you Dave one of these days. Probably have to fight my daughter Kasey over it though LOL.
Sure glad you and daddy got to kill that one. That was special. I have worked on one of them runners for a couple of days this spring. He and i aren't done quite yet.
This couldn’t be more incorrect. I appreciate and respect other ethical public land hunters. Do I question some of others tactics? It could be seen as that or maybe it’s observing? I’m sure everyone does- the only difference is mine are videoed and made public. Sometimes I take note and make a few tweaks of my own. Like next time I may owl 10-12 times in a in a row. It seemed to work. 😁
Dave Owens: the Pinhoti Project I know this year has been frustrating for all public land hunters (I’m not one by the way), especially those who are used to being able to avoid the crowds.
Good woodsmanship and knowledge of turkey behavior got this turkey killed, so great job with that you guys. A note of caution, though, the same guy who will blow an owl call incessantly may not be too good at identifying what he is shooting at, so please keep that in mind when you are moving up on one.
Dave I love your videos man. I think we all know where you’re at and that IS some highly pressured public land. I’d love to bump into you one day and chase a bird together. I’m the same way, if he’s gobbling steady I’ll follow that bird miles if I have to. When you find one that wants to play the game there’s nothing better. You guys done good that day.
