I’ve been fortunate enough to get permission on some merriam land out west that has a flock of birds like this. Some of the most fun I’ve had turkey hunting. Rancher was talking to me before last season and “had a down year” I get there and he had easily a few hundred
You could get ya a new truck and need another new truck in the amount of time it would take you to hear that much gobblin' in PA and that's hunting every day!!
Awesome hunt guys. I dream of hunts like this one and to do a Merriam hunt. Such a beautiful bird. I wish that I got a tenth of that action around here. 🦃🦃
That was total insanity 😮. Hope y'all had some towels to dry off with. I know he spit all over you 😂. Y'all must have slept on a limb with them. Awesome video and sure glad you dropped this one tonight . I'll be in the woods before daylight in Florida and this just fired me up
Great video! Those merriams are some pretty birds. Guess ill stick to easterns for now! You got any plans on NC this year? I work with one of Erics hunting buddys/neighbor, and love living vicariously through some of the pictures on his phone!
What an amazing series of hunts I haven't had birds around me like that in 25 years here in New York State That was an awesome show guys congratulations😊
Mr Dave that was by far the most awesome turkey hunting video ever. My heart was pounding when that first bird walked in on you gentlemen and i was laughing when i heard is it legal hours yet. Thank you again for all of your hard work bringing all of us these videos. Stay safe
Sometimes it is. They pitch pit when they have enough light. Have to be a turkey to know that exactly. I hunt Merriam's almost exclusively, and have seen them wandering around in the dark pretty much.
A Meriams is on my bucket list! Before the Lord calls me home, i hope to get to carry one of those over my shoulder!!
Sweet hunt right there 👍👍

Thats whatcha call a PARTY!
That was a special day of turkey hunting there. Great video Dave.
What clip do you use for your GoPro to attach to your vest ?
Just one from Amazon.

Great stuff! Why do merriams fly down so early??? That was cool footage!
That first gobbler was in hand to spur combat range...

Thanks for watching!
Thats a Dream hunt right there!
God i love the sounds of spring! Awesome video man
Remember the old tree top turkeys series? You could have made the modern day cd out of this vid. This is some special video!
Love the videos Dave.. let’s hear the chatter after the stogies are lit!!
Now that's a turkey hunt! Nice job guys.
That don't happen every day. Dang what a hunt.
What a Awesome morning of Birds goblin
If you don’t like that something is wrong with you. BTW who was milking the footage on that first one? 😊
I was trying to let it get light! 😂
I need to check out that section of the river 😂
Top notch video. Is it common for the Merriams to fly down that early?
I see it alot.
Sometimes it is. They pitch pit when they have enough light. Have to be a turkey to know that exactly. I hunt Merriam's almost exclusively, and have seen them wandering around in the dark pretty much.
@travisarnott7093 I live in NC and I've seen eastern birds ground roost or fly down early but it's pretty rare
What a pile of gobbs. Great video
Geeze Louise Dave. What a beaut Clark. That sure wasn't no effingham county ga turkey hunting.
No sir. A long ways from it!
Those jokers flew off early!
Your GoPro does reflect a lot. Wondering if that scared previous birds
Possible.
That was insane 👍👍
Man! Everyone needs at least one hunt like that in their days. Merriam's ain't always that easy for sure.
That’s a fact.
I’ve heard the exact same amount of gobbling in South Dakota. I actually recorded it. It’s so amazing!!
Tag team them
It don’t get much better than that. Nice work fellas!
Much appreciated!
Great video! What a great hunt.
Thanks for sharing 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃
Thanks for watching!
ACTION PACKED😮
How close do eastern hen yelps sound to that of hen merriams?
I think it's one in the same. Higher pitched out west maybe- the biggest difference is the witting versus clucking in my opinion
Idk buddy that spot doesn't seem too good. Might want to try somewhere else😅😅
When Dave Owens says “Most insane hunt” it’s not clickbait.
Ha! That made me laugh. I try not to clickbait at all. 😂
@@pinhotiproject 👍🏼Much appreciated!
Incredible footage! Loved it
Glad you enjoyed it
Loved watching from east Tn
What vest are you running? If I'm correct those look like gunsling straps on a alps vest!??
It’s modded out to point of no recognition. It’s on an alps frame but I’ve had to redo most all stitching.
