- The morning starts off with a FUMBLE which puts me behind. Out of necessity, we started the MORNING SLOW feeling out the HUNTING PRESSURE in the area. After a bit of patience, we FOUND a pair of GOBBLERS singing on a HIGH BENCH and put ourselves in the right position just in TIME. #pinhotiproject #turkeyhunting #publicland

Them boys thought they was gunna get a cigar…
This shows the difference between someone who knows what he’s doing and someone who hasn’t figured it out yet. Hope the other guys learned something.
i guess they will watch this and learn how not to call and hunt. great use of patience and woodsman ship
You showed grace and respect to those young men. Props
Hay Mott find another station if you don’t like.
I would hate to find myself on a piece of public trying to out call the King himself! I imagine once I realized it my brain would be fried and I may resort to blowing a crow call too just out of pure shock! Dave, please give me a heads up if you hunt any public with sleazy in nc so i will know to stay home that day! You are the man
Haha! It was a low and slow approach to that pair of gobblers.
Question Dave!! Those pants I see you wearing all the time are those water proof?
@@markabney the knee and seat are water resistant
@@csoultrain80 Thanks!! Met Dave at the NWTF Convention, what a hell of a man very friendly and of course knowledgeable.. had a blast can’t wait until next year
That guy with the crow call was giving me anxiety... bird was hot too about the time he showed up blowing the woods out. Thankfully it worked it just right.. seemed like 2 good guys, nonetheless.
Simply the best !! God Bless and thanks for sharing with us.
For anyone watching this video the most important thing to take from it in my opinion is when Dave says; “ I hunt with my ears a lot”” probably the best tactic to use when things are slow or you are unsure of the land and where you need to be. Great video Dave!!
8 more days!
Thanks for another great video Dave, they are filling A void until season hits.
Them fellas was blowin the whole bottom out… need to learn some patience… sucker gobbled 6-8 times lay the crow call down
Patience and woodsmanship killed that bird..... hopefully them young fellas learned from that experience... you the man Dave...
You are a rock star
Long winded crow 😂 That was awesome Dave.
You better man than me I'd have told there ass wat I thought bout them and that crow call
hahaha that guy sure loved his crow call!!
Love the videos .can't wait for turkey season
Good stuff! 👍🏼
Another one bites the dust!! I kinda felt bad for the two young bucks going up against the best. Never had a chance.But thay got to meet the King!!!
“Better than bacon.” 😂
First footage I’ve ever seen of a turkeys reaction to over calling. Good lesson for all! But those guys were just doing what they see others do on call companies videos. Probably don’t know any better. My dad got mad if I yelped more than every hour. Lol
Ahh the good ole young bucks blowing their crow call to hear him holler. Seems like I hear that a lot on public ground these days too. I was there once too. Glad to have new hunters on board our sport.
Amen to that. Fresh eager souls to keep this thing moving.
Wow. You just completely messed up that guys hunt😂
Cmonwiddit Dave. Best time of year is bout here baw
They seemed like great guys. I'm 62 and like to see young guys interested in turkey hunting.
North Alabama here.
Most definitely were great guys. Young and full of vin ‘n’ vigor. And had already had a great season they said as well.
Dang nice respectful young fellas. Lots of guys much older and more experienced could learn something from them.
Great video. Sure thought them guys were going to come in on you. Glad it worked out for you.
The public land crow master....I bet he also had a hootie flute in his vest.
Congrats Dave! Cool hunt. Nice of the other hunters to come up and introduce themselves.
“I don’t care what Courtney says, thats better than bacon.” Hahaha that made me laugh. Good hunt man
NEVER a dull moment!! Helps show me that u done always gotta be rhe loudest or the most aggressive. Just keep payin attention and stay patient. 👊👊Congrats Dave
I enjoyed that. I'm glad you did also.
Out of all the guys on the planet to go head to head against for a gobbler….it was over before it ever started.
That was tense ! Beautiful place . Im in west tn , wish i had some mountains like that to hunt
I love the mountains.
Nice one dave👍👍
I was starting to think ole boy was gonna try calling him up with the crow call… They’ll realize one day that you don’t always need to do so much calling. Nonetheless awesome video Mr. Dave!
I would want an electronic caller if I had to compete with your calling Dave lol.
You area trip man.
Why in the world would you want to blow a crow call that many times? I mean he kept him gobbling for Dave to get in on him but lord help my time. I just don’t get what the point is? You use it to locate one and he did that so why continue to blow it?🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I remember a time when I wanted that sucker to gobble 9000 times. 😂 heck I still do, but there does come a time you realize listening to him and killing him is very different.
Crow man was likely keeping him gobbling while the other guy moved in on him. It looked like they came from different directions when they approached Dave.
They were together. One was just a little quicker up the mountain. And that was a steep sucker they scaled in about no time flat too by the way. 😂
Wow!!!
Man you just never know what you might see or hear chasing public land birds I am glad both those men was respectable to you and understood that you didn’t just slip in
Great, all the young impressionable hunters will think it’s cool to have a smoke after killing a bird. Use your head for something besides a hat rack. 😒
That was a close one. Congrats man awesome hunt.
I need to know what brand cigars you smokin so I can buy stock in the company before this season opens!
Man U just gotta laugh about it or it’ll make u lose your mind. That was tense there! Loved it! That was woodsmanship and wisdom you used there to get in tight and kill that ol boy. Using that crow calling to YOUR advantage, and then giving him just a little soft talk. Good stuff!
Dude was over calling and sounded like a duck. Took me a long time to figure that out especially on public land that less is more.
I once had an ol boy come in on me cranking a box call blowing a crow call at the same time!
Atleast you shooting him got the tool that's constantly calling to shut up lol
When you muzzle sweep your partner 18:50 mark
If someone else is parked there already & beats you to the spot, you back out & go somewhere else. ~ Dave Owens in Florida.
In this video, dave parks beside the folks who were there first 🤦🏽
Gotta love it.
Plenty of spots that contain enough land for multiple people to hunt safely and effectively. I know places where 5 trucks can be parked and you'll still never run into anyone. Point being, not all spots are limited to just one hunter.
First off. Florida is the one place where everyone has to park in the same spot to dump into 60k acres. Second, it’s clearly National Forest that has tons of acres. He patiently waited listening for others. Both parties moved in on a gobbling turkey from clearly different directions. You don’t know where the second party was parked at. Video doesn’t describe it or is it explained. Next point is Dave has prior videos of laying off a turkey someone was on. Next point is these kids never even called to the turkey until Dave hit the call already sitting down. The reality is that is turkey hunting. It makes it dangerous. It’s concerning but its hard to see in the video. The reality is everyone’s video only gives one angle. How do you know these kids ignore the call and just keep trucking towards the gobbler? You don’t. You acting like your perfect isn’t changing anything. He surely isn’t listening to you either
However, It’s clear I see now I just wasted time trying to give you clarity. You won’t even accept an apology from Dave. Instead you keep trolling his channel threads putting in your two cents. Get out see the world a bit bud. Quit pouting. Your obviously still watching. 👀
Yes Bart I noticed the same thing you did. Interesting observation and you aren’t wrong for noticing. You got some negative comments here but that’s ok.
You should really re-watch the video. And maybe slower this time? You should pick up enough information to answer the questions you obviously have surrounding this situation.
Last thing I think I’d do if I heard someone shoot would be to walk towards them.
Dave,
I hope you gave those fine young men a lesson on calling frequency from Grand National Champion. They would benefit from it greatly.
What kind of cigars do you smoke for your celebration?
So I’m kinda new to turkey hunting. And my question is how can a turkey hear such quiet calling and not hear you crunching the leaves as you walk. Bc like no matter how slow u walk in the woods your going to crunch leaves.
The crunching of the leaves isn’t always a bad thing. Often times they will think it’s a hen walking.
If you have ever heard a /group of turkeys come thru the woods it’s not a quiet deal. Walking and calling or scratching in the leaves while calling makes it much more realistic.
You’ve got to remember Dave is filming and the mic amplifies the sound.
I often times want him to hear the crunching, even exaggerating the sound somewhat. That’s what a real hen sounds like.
their nonstop calling sure wasnt helping them any. congrats Dave!
I think we’ve all been there. 😂
I have made lots Hunter mad like that But that’s Hunting they. Learn good Hunt
Best thing you did was stop calling and let it play out.
Keep the videos coming Dave!!! Looking forward to seeing your 2022 season. Have you ever hunted around Wilkes county, North Carolina?
My stomping grounds. The day I hear Dave Owen’s in the woods I will know it’s time to sit back and wait for the gunshot.
I love the way you handled that, you called them, “ fine young men.” I wish they had asked what they did wrong. They drove that bird into your lap.
We spoke a fair bit that wasn’t included in the video for one reason or the other ( lots of name dropped locations that wouldn’t be acceptable for public ears for the most part) but there was a short discussion where I explained when they had the gobblers fooled and at what point they pushed it a little far and drove them away. It was interesting getting to watch that reaction happen.
@@pinhotiproject do you hunt southern Oklahoma?
I would love to get to the mountains and hunt this year it looks awesome. Here on the lower eastern shore of Maryland it’s as flat as it gets. But it’s something about hunting home I love
Let’s go
I’m late to the party on this one. Admittedly, I have kinda sworn off of THP & Pinhoti Project videos because I don’t want to help perpetuate a phenomenon I believe is killing our public land turkey hunting. I am weak though and get bored at times while waiting on the season to get here and at least search out the videos where Dave hunts in my stomping grounds.
With that said, I just found this video last night. I do understand some of the aspects of what Dave is doing, when you’re kinda waiting around for rookie turkey hunters to lose interest and/or bump a turkey and quit so you can hang around and get on him when they leave hopefully.
With that said, there is one thing that is absolutely NOT TRUE that he stated. This particular bowl is NOT the only public land piece within 30 minutes. There is literally land Dave could have walked across the road and hunted, leaving these particular turkeys to the two trucks who were there first. Second, there is not a whole lot of room. You’re GOING to end up on the same turkey with someone if you go in on top of them like Dave did. I know these kids are rookies and not much threat to kill a turkey, but I know their family members and they are great people. Granted, they had obviously walked off the mountain but they were hearing that turkey, had not left, and were giving him another whirl. Had the roles been reversed, Dave would have pitched a FIT if someone who came in after him slid in and shot a turkey he was fooling with. The sum total of this hunt doesn’t sit well with me at all. I’ll go ahead and tell you RIGHT NOW Dave, if I or one of my friends beat you there and you do the same thing, it’s probably not gonna end the same.
There is also a totally different tract a 5 minute drive away he could have gone to, along with another maybe 10 minutes away.
Well either you're ill informed or just wanting to appear to know more than you actually do. Therefore, I think you should reword your post to say, "I seek out hunts where Dave hunts my stomping grounds so I can try to pick it apart and attempt to make him seem like a dishonest person" because maybe I've missed it but I don't remember seeing comments with any positivity from you, even from way back- always a negative twist. So, maybe it's a good idea for you to remain "sworn off" TH-cam videos? They only seem to anger you. But I do appreciate your view/ minutes watched/ etc.
If you actually watched the video, you'll notice where I stated one person was walking into the woods on the other side of the road when I approached hence the reason I chose the side I did. Not knowing where the other hunters were I chose to spend literal HOURS sitting from a high point and listening, surveying the situation and in reality not expecting to do much hunting. Admittedly instead of a straight walk out, I took the long route- to scout and work my way out since I'd not heard a peep from a human (or turkey) all morning. The young men later told me they'd walked over the mountain and were on the complete other side, I'd been safe to hunt the area like it was mine. But who could have known? I didn't. So I chose to observe and play it safe. I can only wish if someone joined me at a gate they'd be so courteous and I'd never assume they wouldn't be. Also, if you think there is public ground 5 minutes away from this location- it's obvious you're on the "wrong page."
But I will agree, the young men were very respectful and seemed like great people (don't know anything about their people but spoke to his brother at the NWTF show). I never said anything different. And I've spoke to them several times through messenger since then. And I don't know why you'd not consider them a threat to killing a turkey, they'd already taken several from that area that season even. Which is why I've never gone back.
So here's your TOTAL SUM. . . no one (me nor the young guys who encroached on a gobbler being worked whether they knew it or not) had or have a problem with this hunt, only you. So considering it isn't your hunt, your turkey, your property or frankly anything that you had the slightest involvement with- try finding something that does sit well with you to watch.
@@pinhotiproject Not gonna dive into all of that. I have said tons of positive things to and about you online. I’ll say another right now: I think you’re the best turkey hunter who ever lived. Hence, my intrigue on watching you hunt the same turkeys. You challenge me to be a better turkey hunter and for that part, I’m thankful.
On all the other stuff, I will be brief but these things are indisputable IMHO:
1. I know precisely where you parked and I know the land on both sides of the road very well. My apologies for missing your statement that you saw someone going across the road and avoiding that side accordingly. I agree that wasn’t an option for you. But the part that it would be 30 minutes to the next tract of public is simply NOT TRUE. It is not 5 minutes as I generalized in my original comment, but I just looked at it on Google Maps. It is definitely between 5 and 10 minutes, so not to give too awful much detail online. It was an excuse on video for the fact that you decided to go in regardless of who was there.
2. You got there way too late to coordinate with people to ensure everyone can hunt respectfully. And decided you were going in regardless of the trucks and the unknowns. I get what you’re saying on surveying the situation totally (what if they don’t call a time until a turkey gobbles? I know a slew of people who hunt precisely that way) but it doesn’t change the fact that you ended up precisely on the gobbling turkey with the kids who beat you there first thing that morning. Hence, the entire public land premise of going elsewhere when you get somewhere late and people beat you there and are gone from their trucks. Even though those kids were starstruck by you and the awfully awkward situation that unfolded, it doesn’t change the fact that had you taken your medicine for being late and gone elsewhere, those kids would have gotten to fool (I don’t care if they were blowing a train horn at him, they were there first, haven’t yet given up yet, and your coming in landed you on top of them in time) with that turkey without your interference. And given they, as relatively rookie turkey hunters, have now encountered Dave Owens going about the MO of coming into that spot regardless of who is there and being late and thinking that MO is totally OK, and I’m sure they now believe it is cool as well given your influence.
THOSE are my issues. Me and one of my dear friends used to hunt that spot with regularity. Haven’t been there in a few years now. This video shows precisely why and you haven’t helped to remedy the situation as a supposed ambassador whatsoever but instead the contrary.
You were wrong and I think you realized it after the kill shot. Could see the wheels turning in your head while talking to those kids and your normal MO of really engaging hunters in conversation was shortened and awkward. I think you know deep down that had that whole thing gone down with an older, experienced, not star-stricken turkey hunter, the outcome would have been drastically different.
In the end, I have made tons of judgment mistakes on public too, have admitted to them, and apologized to the affected. That’s all you can do as imperfect men. You were the encroacher this time sir, not those young men, all things considered. They had no idea they were “encroaching” because they had no earthly idea you were in the world and had come into the tract after them. Or perhaps they knew someone was around after the trip back to the truck, but they had been there first and had the most right to the turkey that started gobbling. You don’t have a good argument otherwise and ought to admit you were wrong and apologize to them.
@@pinhotiproject And one last thing. I have seen you pitch a FIT on people in Florida for coming in on top of you when you were there first. With MILES AND MILES of available ground. That places where you were hunts extremely small depending on where the hunter is listening from when the turkey gobbles. If one can coordinate with a fellow turkey hunter and agree that one hunts one side of the gorge and the other takes the opposite, it can work. But you didn’t have that luxury because you were late.
Beautiful mountains. Is there any other way to hunt a turkey? Awesome hunt!
Honest question: is it cool to move in and work a turkey that you know someone else is working? I can see it from both sides. Just wondering what others thoughts were on the subject. Another good video from Dave. Thanks for sharing
No just be respectful and let the other person work the bird. You would want someone to do the same for you.
No, find another spot. It’s dangerous and very disrespectful
Most definitely not cool. But in these guys defense I was calling w very low volume and was doing most of what little calling I did while they were still moving and rustling in the leaves. Not sure if they ever knew I was there until the shot.
I think the whole turkey world would be better if they outlawed crow calls and owl hooter
Hope that hunter reads this.
You call too much idiot!!
Glad you killed it man. This hunt reminded me of hunting in my home state of Arkansas.
Those cats need to find a different hobby, clearly they have no idea or they'd be to embarrassed to walk up there you'd think
