REAL NATIONAL FOREST HUNTING | WORKING GOBBLERS in the PERFECT PLACES | WHEN TURKEYS GO UP- Pinhoti

[@lukehumphreys9458]

A very old fashioned hunt. But the best kind! Nothing like them steps inching closer to you in the hardwoods to get the heart pumping real hard! Great hunt Dave and great display of downright woodsmanship

[@Cogburnben]

My favorite way of doing it..

[@pinhotiproject]

Mine too.

[@danduvall1759]

[@pinhotiproject]

Not sure what you're referring to?

[@rodneyharouff5739]

one hell of a good hunt!!

[@pinhotiproject]

Thanks!

[@rodneyharouff5739]

there just ain't nothin' like sittin' on a mtn. in the spring turkey woods!

[@stevenshuford5829]

What mountains where these? Looks a lot like North Carolina mountains. What a hunt!! I would love to hunt with ya one day. What a Big Bird! Congratulations Ole Buddy.

[@eddiewalker]

Man sitting on tree after successfull hunt jus u n the woods n your turkey nothin better

[@donprater2754]

A snail fart “ Really?…lol.lollol.

[@rodneylingle]

Perfect example of how important gun management is especially on pressured gobblers. Dave had his gun up and shouldered when the turkey took a peek over the log. If he had not been ready, that bird would have took one look, ducked back down and turned around and walked off with the log blocking him. Also great example of soft calling and how effective it is on pressured turkeys ! All beginners should watch this 3 times !! Good job Dave !

[@pinhotiproject]

It's hard to track that leaf crunching sound when the leaves are that dry. Got lucky!

[@rodneylingle]

Real experience is almost always Lucky! Still a great hunt to learn from.

[@davisking3298]

What type of cigar do you toke on there dave

[@pinhotiproject]

Typically swishers.

[@kevinlee6731]

Great hunt!

[@aaronn9692]

WOW! The audio of him coming through the leaves is unbelievable

[@pinhotiproject]

Nerve racking.

[@richardfalcone6954]

That! Was! Awesome! The footsteps and the drumming! Nice hunt!

[@terrycook3710]

Let’s go

[@brianjordan4236]

That was awesome !! Seemed like you could hear him walking forever.. crappy spot for a blowdown to be!!

[@robertsherman5428]

He read the script !!! Well done mr O

[@charleywalker2982]

👍

[@Pennebaker1]

Us timber hunters know those footsteps in the leaves are an adrenaline rush like no other

[@pinhotiproject]

I think it's worse than drumming.

[@farmboy2848]

Damn. That was a great one . Next level audio.. like I was there . 👍

[@rolltide1912]

Love them snail fart mornings. 😂😂 I’m using that one Owens!

[@kevinkerr2876]

Great Hunt Dave,, nothing like them Ol’ Mtn Gobblers, Courtney dropping the hammer too,, great day in the turkey woods!!!

[@staceyhipp2581]

Awsome hunt Dave.I know that was lots of fun.

[@GGGoutdoorsKingdomConnection]

Boy that one there was INTENSE!!!! Hearing him closing the gap in those leaves, love it! That spot drum tight right there at the end bout had my heart coming out of my chest. Fantastic as always buddy!

[@pinhotiproject]

Yes it was!

[@thebigbuckslayerr579]

Look at the spurs on that joker

[@apostolicoutdoors]

What a hunt! Beautiful!!

[@thomasandrews4458]

Dave what sight are you using on you gun?

[@pinhotiproject]

Burris. I have a video covering the gun setup.

[@rwchidester]

I know I’m nitpicking here but I’m not a fan of people calling it “government” land. It’s YOUR land. Public land is your land. The American people are the largest landowners in the country. Never forget that. That being said, love your videos man.

[@farmboy2848]

Awesome hunt.. good luck this weekend..! Snail farts 😂

[@jasondaniels7454]

It's so quiet you can hear a snail fart! LOL. Good stuff man.

[@michellemorgan6295]

You sure did get that Awesome shot on that Turkey Congratulations 3 year old bird

[@huntingandfishingwithlogan2367]

I noticed that last year beautiful day and heard nothing after the roost but cloudy days the blowed the woods up pretty crazy!!!!

[@kdg70]

That was a microcosm of typical public hardwood hunting. Great episode !

[@jordanjones6780]

Damn that looks like NC

[@gary4645]

Does a turkey ever come to where you think he will come ? Some of the most excellent footage for a small camera and being self filmed. Keep up the good work. Your owl hoots 10+. I would say that your secret is time spent in the woods. The viewing public sees 30 mins on average. I venture to say that during the season you spend 70% to 80% of the day in the woods without it not being near this exciting. Till the next "Gobble" from ALabama.

[@pinhotiproject]

You are very correct. Time will always be the most valuable tool.

[@kalebjordan5707]

Dave how many birds have you shot in your lifetime so far?

[@pinhotiproject]

Enough to be happy but unfortunately, not satisfied. I always ask to sit down to 1 more, that's the only number I concern myself with.

[@kalebjordan5707]

@@pinhotiproject you are the man

[@kalebjordan5707]

When can we go turkey hunting Dave?

[@jackarnold4027]

I like that you are going after the quality of the hunt, not the quantity....beautiful location and huge old bird, love those spurs, think you should hunt more of the tough birds...I never before put it together that the toms go up after loosing there hens, same thing happens here.....if it is not awesome and cool, special, what is the point...if you ever consider coming to Washington State and pursuing the Washington Slam, maybe you have already done it?....anyways, know where there are all three species, rain forest Eastern, wide open flatland river bottom Rio's and some mountain Merriam's that are really special...

[@pinhotiproject]

Quality indeed. And Washington is an old favorite, you'll see some hunt from Washington in a couple weeks.

[@jtompkins12]

Man hearing that spitting and heavy steps closing in I was all kinds of worked up!!!!

[@publiclandwaterfowler]

I was starting to think there for a minute that you forgot the cigar back in the truck again.. another solid hunt Dave, nice work.

[@bloodlines9610]

Can't help but get excited with every video. Just a few more weeks and we'll be chasing Thunder Chickens!!

[@scottterrill3442]

And it just keeps getting better Dave. To hear you speak of how the Georgia mountains are one of your favorite places to be hunting turkeys in the world makes me think of and appreciate the beautiful places we as sportsmen get to see and enjoy every season. God is Good. Scotty T.

[@BigCountry67]

I’ve always said I’d rather kill one in the hardwoods than 10 from a field. Great hardwoods hunt ! Seemed like we were right there with ya. Outstanding !

[@TheMcLeanster]

Absolutely!

[@pinhotiproject]

I agree.

[@realrussclarke]

Woodsmenship is number one! Always love your videos and perspectives Dave Thanks!

[@michaelbailey261]

Iv turkey hunted for 40yrs and as aggressive hunters we too many times get in a hurry and try to force birds to us. That was a prime example of later morning just like you said, let a turkey do his thing. Most I kill on the road in other states are late morning doing the same thing. Great video great hunt.

[@pinhotiproject]

Thanks!

[@benrinehartjr2345]

Awesome video. Your enjoying the hunt and not worrying about whether your camera is in focus and all that jazz. Basics, you do it like it's supposed to be. Oh yeah.

Watched a recent Shane Simpson video where a guy from Alabama was hunting with him a gobbler spotted them at 25yds and ran off....they blamed it on the 'bad luck' Pinhoti hat the guy was wearing....I was gonna buy one but now I'm not sure.... 😂....have a great 2023 Spring!.... I'm a Michigan guy....hunt starts last week April 🦃

Cool clear morning,in there an hour before first light,sitting on a rock on a big ridge,smelling the mountain laurels,knowing you're gonna hear 5 or 6 at least and a cup of creamy,sweet coffee hot out of the thermos. Thanking God for making me a turkey hunter and getting to do something most folks could never comprehend or begin to understand what it's like to be a turkey hunter. Do I hate that everyone else can't experience what I get to experience 45 days a year? Hell no,there's too many of us already.

[@rodneyharouff5739]

damn right!!

[@etage88]

Might be the best turkey hunt I’ve watch on this channel and I’ve seen them all 😂

[@connorscott1801]

Dave, question. I am not an expert turkey hunter by any means but finally after 12 years of trial and error got my first turkey. but in college I had a friend come with me who was very good. He always told me “turkeys are lazy as crap” and I’ve had turkeys hang up on me with obstacles in the way. With this dead tree in the way, what’s your suggestion for getting them to cross or almost cross that obstacle? Thanks for the great videos and content.

[@pinhotiproject]

It's best practice to have the gobbler need to come through/ around as little as possible. But the main factor, is being where he wants to be.

[@connorscott1801]

@@pinhotiproject thank you for the response! I will keep this in mind as not everything works out to order like we all plan for. I had one hang up on me before I successfully got one. He came over a clear cut ridge and I was down in a bottom. What I could not see was in the swell was a dead tree that was down but was hidden for all the thick grass in front of the hardwood ridge, and he stopped right there when he could see in the bottom Of the hardwoods and saw no hen. That made me get up on the ridge he came down two days later and I got him/one of the gobblers two days later by cutting them off.

[@chocolategravyandbiscuits8418]

Thank you for not even saying what state you’re in so far this year on public. You’re one of the few hunting subs I have left. I can’t stand to watch most of these people ruining everything for locals bc of the idiots chasing pins and geolocating videos.

[@pinhotiproject]

I may mention state names because I feel it's general enough information and I travel to typically a dozen or more per Spring. I have also shown hunts from well over 30 here on the channel. I do take great care and caution to avoid highlighting anyone's location though. Way too much respect for locals to ever put a spotlight on a specific area.

[@mikealrichards508]

Man what an awesome hunt ! Hearing him walking and the drumming. Just the anticipation of where he was gonna pop up ! Gotta love it ! Thanks again for sharing Dave !

Chubbs to me is like the Vince Vaughn of turkey hunting.
