One of your best! Reminded me of a hunt in Tennessee in 2012 with my Dad who was 83 at the time. We sat up and did some blind calling. I heard drumming. 2 hours later a big thick bearded bird came in and I took him. Only drumming nothing else. On the way out we found a big patch of morels. I’ve got it all on video. My dad is now 94. Doing good but doesn’t hunt anymore. Precious memories.
Next to the KT team hunts this is my favorite hunt to watch. The pure adrenaline and excitement for the chase make it worth everything. Also really liked the slow motion shot.
One of your best videos ever Dave. That is by far the most pure hunts of wild game. Drumming fan creeping through the woods. Can not beat that. Your heart and the drumming fighting over the microphone lol just awesome! And wonderful message at the end. Thank you sir for bringing me along
If you aren’t watching this video with noise cancelling earbuds, you’re missing out!! My gosh, one of the most intense turkey videos on the internet! 🤯 another awesome video, Dave!
What they do in their natural environment and they had no idea you where even there and you got to experience that in its entirety is the whole point he is making when he refers to the experience!!!! Great video right here when you sit back and listen and let them just do it!!!! Well done mr owens!!!!
You know that drumming is loud when I can hear it plain as day and I’ve never been able to hear drumming in the woods! I’ve killed plenty that I should’ve heard drumming. I guess the frequency of it I just can’t hear. These are the super cool hunts where everything just falls in place
Dave, i was right there with you on this hunt. Breathing al.ost as hard as you.. by far the best turkey hunting video i have ever seen. And yes you never know what your prize is until you cllect your bird and admire it for all his glory to give his life for our passion
Glad you talked about how turkey hunting is different... I've always told people "it's just different, it's an obsession" when they ask me "why do you like turkey hunting more than anything else?" You summed it up perfectly and will be using that reference now! You are the 🐐 IMO
In my 32 years of Turkey hunting I have never been able to hear a Turkey drumming. I know it’s cost me a bunch not being able to hear it. Guess my ears are just not sensitive enough
The after shot reflection was so true. You said something that gave me and my buddy chill bumps as we watched it. It’s not about how big the trophy is- it’s about the experience and the memory. Great content man, my generation needs more of this perspective.
Don't think I've ever heard someone's heart beating so hard (!), or seen you shaking like that, but that was exciting. Congratulations. Good hunt. Well filmed.
Got a bit more excited on this one I love seeing that, sniffing the shell after and then your explanation of turkey versus deer hunting was spot on and wonderful. This is one of my favorite Dave videos. Awesome stuff Dave
What a hunt. You can hear Dave’s heart pounding. You can hear him swallowing and everything. All while that gobbler is DRUMMIN HARD. Setup on a tiny tree no calling just came in. Lot to learn from this one.
It never ever will get old....You take it to your grave!! But what a great thing to take with you...!!! There is nothing better!! At least my old Kentucky opion...We are blessed!!
Another awesome video and I try to explain what u where talking about the experience and beauty of turkey hunting to people that don’t do it and they have no idea but they r missing out is all I can say and how did u mount your red dot to your gun without the brackets is it screwed on or attached differently let me know if u have time?
I’ve been stuck on them little bitty trees in the wide open on Alabama public and let me tell you it ain’t fun!!! Got beat by a bird last year cause of it.
Dude… holy cow. I usually can’t hear drumming very well on my phone or tv, but this was an exception. It was loud and clear. Too freaking cool! Also, that barrel camera is really crisp. Congrats, man!
"It doesn't matter"! Thank you so much for saying that,to many people are getting caught up in this aging thing that they are forgetting about the experience and the hunt its self,good job congrats bro!
I love the emotion! We all like to call em in & play the game, but those that make y wait & wait turn ya into a little kid again!!😊 Keep it up man!! Appreciate the ability to tag along wit ya!!! 💪🏻🦃💀👊🏼
I'm glad you mentioned what is important when turkey hunting. Watched a friend get caught up in the numbers when duck hunting. Totally lost sight of what was truly important. Thanks Dave for keeping everything real and for sharing your absolute love for the sport.
you said it well. Just you and the turkey. Only criteria really is if he's mature. Interesting that more people pass on a jake than pass on a spike though. Find that odd. Either way, one of your best ones yet, imho.
Very well put when you compared turkey and deer hunting! I agree 100% man!
17:51 Not sure what’s hitting harder, his drumming or Dave’s ticker. Intense!
Another great one Dave, Thanks.
Congrats!
Ol Boy got my heart pounding, aint nothing like it
Words just can't explain it.Its just to good!!!
Great perspective on turkey hunting an deer hunting. Awesome!
Yes sir 🔥👊
Real Real!! good one Dave.
Thanks!
Beautiful!!!
Man that had my adrenaline goin just watchin. Good play Dave
Thanks!
That was great hunt and a good example of what gobbles do most times.

NICE MEMOPIIES
Hell of a hunt Dave! Ol boy put on a damn good show to end it.
Next to the KT team hunts this is my favorite hunt to watch. The pure adrenaline and excitement for the chase make it worth everything. Also really liked the slow motion shot.
Nice bird !
You got about all you could get out of that one!! That's a good one right there!! If that don't give you a shot of adrenaline, idk what does!!
Insane drumming! Love it.
Let’s go from Ky!!!
That gun barrel camera you got is really nice! Very clear!
Your reading my mind. I noticed that also. Want to get one. Wish he would do a video on camera equipment.
Lawdy mercy that’s one where you need to put on the headphones and crank it up to 11!
Good Lord I could hear your heart pounding as loud as the drumming 😂
Great hunt, if we didn't get excited it wouldn't be fun hunting them.
You are right, it's all about that experience and I love sharing that with others!
Watched this morning before work, what a great video!
Fantastic hunt! It’s great to see a hunter of your caliber get shook! Great bird! 🦃
Nerves of Steel. Most would have screwed up one way or another. Great example of patience.
One of your best videos ever Dave. That is by far the most pure hunts of wild game. Drumming fan creeping through the woods. Can not beat that. Your heart and the drumming fighting over the microphone lol just awesome! And wonderful message at the end. Thank you sir for bringing me along

Well said. I've shared your sentiment for decades. IYKYK. Great hunt!
Not too often you can hear drumming on RUclips!! Great job Dave!
Man I can hear your heart beat through the shoulder cam hahaha felt like I was right there witchya
What they do in their natural environment and they had no idea you where even there and you got to experience that in its entirety is the whole point he is making when he refers to the experience!!!! Great video right here when you sit back and listen and let them just do it!!!! Well done mr owens!!!!
Deer is harder find but with turkey is easy to find deer have more sense of smell, at the end of the day you become them.
Man what a hunt. Gods given you a Gift Dave. I’m thankful for the lessons you’ve taught me just from videos like this.
You know that drumming is loud when I can hear it plain as day and I’ve never been able to hear drumming in the woods! I’ve killed plenty that I should’ve heard drumming. I guess the frequency of it I just can’t hear. These are the super cool hunts where everything just falls in place
I Loved the explanation of the difference of deer vs turkey. Great way to explain it!
Dave’s ol ticker was doing some thumping lol !! Good stuff good to see the GOAT gets just as tore up as is common folk 😂
The ole heart beat audio was intense!!!! The moment he came into view, it went into overdrive!!!!!! Awesome!!!!!
A Real Man WHO HAS Turkey Fever is one who had The Ultimate Experience!!!! Thanks for sharing your experience with me, sir
Dave, i was right there with you on this hunt. Breathing al.ost as hard as you.. by far the best turkey hunting video i have ever seen. And yes you never know what your prize is until you cllect your bird and admire it for all his glory to give his life for our passion

Another great hunt Dave. Thank you.
Great. Video. You did an amazing job of telling why we do it.
In my 32 years of Turkey hunting I have never been able to hear a Turkey drumming. I know it’s cost me a bunch not being able to hear it. Guess my ears are just not sensitive enough

Absolute nailed it Nothing compares to turkey hunting. Not a numbers game. Only way to have it
If everyone had your passion, what a wonderful world this would be, got to be one of the best
Don't think I've ever heard someone's heart beating so hard (!), or seen you shaking like that, but that was exciting. Congratulations. Good hunt. Well filmed.

Best Turkey hunt ever filmed!! This is what it’s all about!!
I was shaking just watching from behind the TV screen! Another awesome hunt and beautiful bird 👍🏻
What a hunt. You can hear Dave’s heart pounding. You can hear him swallowing and everything. All while that gobbler is DRUMMIN HARD. Setup on a tiny tree no calling just came in. Lot to learn from this one.
It never ever will get old....You take it to your grave!! But what a great thing to take with you...!!! There is nothing better!! At least my old Kentucky opion...We are blessed!!
Your passion for turkeys is greater than anything I’ve ever seen. Kermit up Dave
Another awesome video and I try to explain what u where talking about the experience and beauty of turkey hunting to people that don’t do it and they have no idea but they r missing out is all I can say and how did u mount your red dot to your gun without the brackets is it screwed on or attached differently let me know if u have time?
Your leg must have truly been asleep, I have never seen you just let a turkey flop that way to beat it up. You care so much for them. Great hunt.
I’ve been stuck on them little bitty trees in the wide open on Alabama public and let me tell you it ain’t fun!!! Got beat by a bird last year cause of it.
One of my favorites for sure! Thank ya and be safe in your travels. Can’t wait for the next one!
You mean you don’t shoot a bird based off the length of its spur? 😂😂😂Some of these people that actually say that are absolutely delusional.
That right there is what its all about. I'm ready in NW GA.
Gobblers Forever!!💯👍🏻👍🏻
I found myself starting to breath heavy. Thanks for the great video and conveying what the essence of why we hunt is about.
Great hunt Dave congratulations 😊 It's always fun to see fellow hunters succeed When the cigar comes out you know it's been a great day 😊
One of the best episodes on here
Lord you're tearing my nerves up. Love it
Dude… holy cow. I usually can’t hear drumming very well on my phone or tv, but this was an exception. It was loud and clear. Too freaking cool! Also, that barrel camera is really crisp. Congrats, man!
"It doesn't matter"! Thank you so much for saying that,to many people are getting caught up in this aging thing that they are forgetting about the experience and the hunt its self,good job congrats bro!
Between your heart thumping and him drumming i thought i was at a club! Awesome hunt and bird. Congrats brother
That was intense!!!!
What a hunt. Loved your calling, oh you didn't call!
Incredible. Your heart pounding coming thru the mic made that absolutely amazing.
Man Dave it don’t get much better..👍🏻
Try some Arkansas public mountains
That was intense! To hear that joker's drum that well over your breathing...he was drumming loud! Good stuff.
I believe we would like to be looking out the gun camera instead of looking at your trigger finger most of the time
It's all part of the editing process.
I love the emotion! We all like to call em in & play the game, but those that make y wait & wait turn ya into a little kid again!!😊 Keep it up man!! Appreciate the ability to tag along wit ya!!!
💪🏻🦃💀👊🏼
That was intense and prime example of why 🦃 hunt with your ears not just calling
That was a evermore good one brotha love the emotion and what really matters. Appreciate ya ol son👊🏻.
Is that an example of what you would call quiet gobbling or did it just sound that way because it was a gun camera?
Dave you need to start looking at the dip in those breast bones from where they sit on the limb to get an Idea of age.
I'm glad you mentioned what is important when turkey hunting. Watched a friend get caught up in the numbers when duck hunting. Totally lost sight of what was truly important. Thanks Dave for keeping everything real and for sharing your absolute love for the sport.
That was fun 2 watch!. 😊
Awesome hunt your passion is amazing don't ever lose that you are a true inspiration to all of us turkey hunters
Great barrel camera footage. Best I’ve seen. Fine hunt.
That’s exciting!! Great hunt as always
Great Job Dave!!!! Heading to Florida Mar 15th.
you said it well. Just you and the turkey. Only criteria really is if he's mature. Interesting that more people pass on a jake than pass on a spike though. Find that odd. Either way, one of your best ones yet, imho.
