Public ground Spring Turkey Hunting....No thanks! I can do a righteous job of screwing up my own opportunities without having other hunters do it for me.
Enjoyed watching your hunt Dave. It took me back to so many hunts I been on over 33 seasons. Chasing turkeys through thick brush in unknown country only to end up staring at nothing but dirt and more brush! Good times👍🦃
Does anyone know what vest Dave is using these days? It's definitely not the Grand Slam any more, and it looks like he may be using custom rubber shoulder straps??
I think I recognize the area you're hunting here and between the trout anglers and the mushroom pickers you're sharing the woods with a lot more people than you'd expect...I'd still go back and do it again though, pretty neat country.
I've spooked my share of turkeys for sure, but some seasons it seems like every breathing critter doesn't want me to kill a turkey lol. I've had people, dogs, coyotes, and deer spook turkeys many times. Even had an old ornery fox squirrel run a bird off on several occasions in the same spot one season. It's tough boy lol
That sucks for an ending, sorry Dave! On the other hand, can we talk about the deer trails on those hillsides? Man, seems you could fill the freezer with the deer in the area there. Drop a pin, lets see some deer videos out of there in the fall! Good luck with the next hunt, brother!
Not necessarily the same situation as you found yourself in but last year we parked at a lot with no other vehicles, ended up walking back 3 miles and killed a bird and was walking back and ended up walking through someone’s set up as we were pinned between the lake and about 100 yards of public in between the private. I kinda felt bad but realized they walked in on a piece knowing someone was in there. Wish some people just had common sense and went elsewhere. That’s the way hunting public goes, which you already know.
Glad you survived those inclines. I noticed your tube call is different on the end than any I have used or seen. The latex covers most of the end leaving a big gap. Have you experimented with this?
Awesome hunt man. Big supporter of you, keep plugging.
I see that your channel is growing is subs a little. 👍🏼👍🏼
We all know how that feels!
It be like that sometimes
Dave, what tube call do you use. It sounds great!!!
Ever killed a gobbler that never gobbled. Completely silent?

Thanks!
You shouldnt need the tape , my Gopro has a place in the settings too turn the red light off on either or both sides.
Go ahead smash the like button on every Dave Owens film since I found him in 2019!!!!
yep.
And THAT has happened to every one of us that hunts public land. Horse riders, mushroom hunters, hikers, other turkey hunters and a cast of others.
That whole time and didn’t see him kill him, WTH
we're havin' fun now ain't we?
i learned a long time ago. never assume during a turkey hunt. you know what assume does. & i do too. hahahaha!! i LOVE it! THANKS AGAIN!

Looked like a spinning rod to me Dave.
A fly fisherman would NEVER spook a turkey!
Great videos your doing. Thanks for taking the time for all these lately. What an awesome video. Always a enjoyment to watch
Back of the truck looks like a grow room. You sure your just hunting?
All that effort to get the drop on the wrong kind of turkey! Nobody can accuse you of a lack of effort in your hunting after watching this one.
Oh man I can't wait!!
I had no idea Minnesota had steep bluffs like that lol. Great video as always.
Good stuff. You sure you wasnt filmin one of my hunts. Haha
How in the world do you make such a soft buttery little cluck like that?!

You better get busy having some kids if you're gonna tell you're grandkids stories.
That “mid May 30 miles of bad road look”. 2 weeks till Mississippi
Thanks Dave for keeping it real

Dave this happens to me hold tight because someone is a com' in.
HMU when you want to try something new

That looked like he was fishing? He had a pole and a backpack

26 Days till the Illinois turkey 🦃 season!
i've rode my ass off many'a places like that.

Darn.
Sad that’s there is only one longbeard in all that ground! Population is really going downhill
Man you eat some nasty stuff when you’re on the road. Hope you eat healthier at home.
Next time you are up that way you need to get up with Shane Simpson. Just dont let his facepaint get on you!
I've been watching Shane and Dave for a while. Be awesome to see them hunt together.
@@bryandonahue4347 not a bird would survive. Them guys are legends
Now that would be a turkey’s worst combo. I bet they would come off the roost and just land in there truck waving a white flag!!!
Bad turkey
