Im glad I ain’t the only one that talks to turtles in the woods😂

[@pjdaley823]

Haha! Me too!

[@huntercloud192]

Had a hunt on the Homochitto national forest where a turtle walked up to me, it took me forever to see what was making all the crunching

[@carterregister820]

@@huntercloud192 I was deer hunting near a beaver pond once and thought the whole herd was coming. Nope it was a flock of wood ducks😂

[@richardgreen5890]

Dave,, I thought I would say something definitely positive about how you handled this hunt.From start to finish you let the bird set his pace and you stayed patient.Persistance and going with this turkey got him killed.That is a skill few ever master,,some never but on this occasion You show signs of Genius.Congrats.

[@kevinwestphal380]

Dave is the Turkey Whisperer! It is amazing to watch him get inside a turkey’s head. If I live to be 1/4 of the turkey hunter Dave is, I’ll be content. Thank you Dave for another memorable hunt and God Bless!

[@bobbyanderson1838]

Dave, I have had many hunts. I'm 63. Took my first in 1970. But I have to say. I think this hunt was the best I have seen in my long years of chasing. Congrats on a 1 in a life bird. Best hunt ever.

[@relyoncornerstone1493]

I’m rubbing every box turtles back I see this spring. Woodsmanship is the most important skill in hunting turkeys. Once again Dave thanks for bringing us along

[@BigOrangeMullet]

“Oh Shit, he’s right here at 25 yards.” That had me laughing for 5 minutes straight.🤣 great hunt, Dave!

[@12cordy]

Guys on the 4 wheelers watching this video “🤬 I’m going to buy a trumpet” 🤣🤣

[@warbirdflyerF4U]

Amazing hunt Dave 😊 You certainly worked hard for that 1 And what are unique bird I've killed many double beard and triple beard birds over my 45 year Turkey hunting career But I've never seen one with side by side equal beards I'd be having that boy mounted Thanks for sharing your videos Dave😊

[@sandybarnett7502]

I've seen turkeys with out spurs and turkeys with double spurs but never double beards like those...God has blessed you!

[@oneshot1984]

We never forget the little things that make up the experience,,, great bird ! 2 for one ! side by side !,..........amazing !

[@GGGoutdoorsKingdomConnection]

My gracious what a TURKEY HUNT!!!! Hung right in there with him to the end! Kill moves at its best. Man, I hate a 4 wheeler, but persistence prevails! What a turkey, and hunt! That’s it!

[@mater3709]

I've never seen that before either. That adds to a very memorable hunt! One of the best chases ever witnessed. Awesome you got it on film

[@thelost1131]

Congrats, you earned and deserve that kind of bird. Others wouldn’t respect him the way you do.

[@travisarnott7093]

Those ATV boys remind me of this joker I listened to once, driving up a side of a valley in a 7.3 powerstroke. He'd stop at a pullout shut down, slam the door, yelp down the valley, slam the door start up and rattle his way to the next pullout. Done this for good half hour. I laughed and laughed the whole time.

[@larrygolden167]

Looks like a taxidermy bill.

[@FleetwoodApp]

Just an incredible hunt, or series of hunts, Dave. Thank you for what you're doing. You really approach things on the bird's terms, and there's a lot of us out here who genuinely appreciate that. Something that has struck me about these recent Alabama hunts - there's a lot of rocks in them hills! Have you ever run across any copperheads or timber rattlers while chasing after a turkey?

[@user-cx1de5qr3b]

Mannn I’d give up everything in my name to tag along with Dave one time😂Awesome!

[@williamhills6039]

Me to my fellow turkey hunting friend, but i dont think my soon to be 59 year old butt could keep up with him. 10 years ago it would have been game on. Im slower now but just as persistent. Good luck to all in the turkey woods this spring

Felt like I was there with ya . Dangitt if I haven’t killed a many of them off the back side of a big ole white oak and a hickory or a massive beech tree to ! I absolutely love being on the back side standing vs sitting on the facing them side . But I wasn’t there so here comes the Fri morning re hunt

What a stud turkey! Congrats Dave, very nice work

[@travisshuttleworth630]

Box turtles have always been a sign of good luck for me! I pack an orange on every hunt and I split it with a turtle if I see one lol

[@shanewiles629]

What a hunt and 1 very unique gobbler. Congratulations sir! That box turtle reminds me of a hunt I was on one time. I was down in a bottom just blind calling and heard something in the leaves. Couldn’t tell where it was coming from and about that time a box turtle was crawling along straight toward me and that’s the sound I was hearing in the leaves.

[@strydershadow391]

What a fine bird for sure. Great hunt Dave the chase on that bird was certainly worth the effort.

[@user-xf7kd4jd2n]

Yes 4-wheelers should be outlawed in public woods except for someone who is handicapped. I have seen toms shut up when someone dives a vehicle down a woods road and start back up again after they leave. Public land turkeys aren’t stupid.

[@turkeyhunter7617]

Talkin to the turtle 😂 👍👍

What are the odds 4 wheeler boys don't pass the physionomy check? 😂

I was lucky enough to get one that had 3 full beards at 10.5 inches each and inch and a half spurs insane bird great video yet again

[@staceyhipp2581]

Man what a hunt!!! Thx for sharing!!!!

[@natemorgan9272]

Great hunt and congratulations. A few years back I shot my first double beard his also grew side by side and he also had that baring in the center of his fan. He was also my only bird I have ever shot in the snow. Every hunt feels like a hunt of a lifetime when you enjoy it so much. Hve another successful season stay safe.

[@patrickmccutcheon4920]

I would bet a paycheck the boys on the 4 wheelers were riding around with loaded guns .

[@travisarnott7093]

You earned that Turkey for darn sure.

[@rogerhook8002]

I once killed a gobbler with five anomalies. Gobbler's waddle continued below the two parallel beards located beside each side of the waddle. He had a club foot, weighed under fifteen pounds and had no spurs. The pictures are cherished. Interestingly, I was the secondary shooter.

[@rodneyharouff5739]

it's the time!! cool!

[@trooper1293]

It always blows my mind that people still rip around on atvs expecting to kill anything

[@michaelshuey1614]

I hear ya and I hunt on foot 98% of the time myself but my brother’s lazy butt does very well on deer and turkey while running around on his SxS. I dont like his method but then again, he ain’t askin’ me either.

[@turnstyles7485]

Several years ago I killed a tom with six separate beards. But they were in the traditional vertical arrangement each one progressively smaller than the one in front of it.

[@jaybennett7242]

Brother you definitely earned that one, congrats Dave nice job 👍

[@ghghamrick]

ATV’s have done a lot more bad for hunting than they’ve done good. Lead to mostly lazy hunters and ruin a lot of good hunts. Only advantage is they help keep some gobblers alive for next season.

[@Thesac44]

Depending where you’re hunting at. If your on public land down in eastern Kentucky up in the mountain on some old strip mine you need a vehicle to get you up to the top. That’s what I do scout the day before and park a little ways away from where I saw sign.

[@ghghamrick]

@@Thesac44 I hunt strip line land. You don’t have to use ATV’s to get to the top. Is it a hard walk,sure, but it isn’t needed. Personally wish they were by permit only for medical needs/seniors who need them.

[@Thesac44]

Well if that’s how you choose to do it. To each their own.

[@TheLikkinBranchRanch]

Shotguns, bows, and rifles must create lazy hunters too, then, aye? Why not use a rock or throw a stick by hand. How about you leave your vehicle home and walk to the area you hunt? How about you stop being critical of other hunters and embrace the fact they they hunt and are helping to keep our way of life going? Um...yeah....

[@ghghamrick]

@@TheLikkinBranchRanch didn’t say they’re all bad. They do create opportunities for disabled and the elderly. Just don’t see how an able bodied person riding ATV’s though the forest and messing up other hunters hunts is something that shouldn’t be looked at as lazy. I also don’t see how comparing riding my vehicle to a designated parking area is comparable to what the two individuals in the video did. Totally apples to oranges.

[@jordanjones6780]

You forgot to thank the turtle!!

[@wildcatsportsman9157]

Congratulations on a very distinct gobbler ❤

[@tylergrant-peters4563]

Dave, first off I love the channel and it's always hit home with me on an emotional level, but anyway, I've been considering a micro red dot. But I've been freaking myself out about it because I don't let rain keep me out of the turkey woods. Do you have any advice or experience? Am I over thinking it? Is there an easy solution? Thanks in advance

Dave, Congratulations on your bird, I killed a bird two years ago with side x side beards just like that. Dr. Tom wrote an article in the NWTF magazine as well made a video on his channel ask Dr. Tom. Explaining why this happens in turkeys.

Awesome turkey hunt! Turkey hunting is my passion but i lack one thing that you have and it probably makes you a better hunter..PATIENCE!! It would have been so easy to try and find another bird after them "goobs" on the ATV's messed everything up. Love how you stuck with that bird. That's why i subscribed. Keep em coming brother.

Hey Dave I know this is a shot in the dark asking but I was wondering what kind of snake gators you are wearing in all your videos

[@YELLOWLEAF205]

I've killed a few with multiple beards but it was always one full beard and the rest were very thin,shorter and in a row. I've never seen a bird with sxs beards or heard of one that I can remember. I'd like to know what percentage of gobblers have sxs beards,I bet it's a crazy low number.

They ain't stupid and can here them fourwheelers or electric bikes or anything else you ride in on from the time you enter the property. What happend to people walking and hunting? Or what happened to people scouting and hunting birds that they find?

Why hunt wear there is a atv trail and cry 😢 about atv usage??? I hate atv side by sides etc but take that activity out of the Equation pinhoti Dave

[@pinhotiproject]

Maybe where you are, but you can’t get away from atv trails in this neck of the country.

[@Kyrutandstrut]

Getting mad at other hunters for hunting a different way than you is not what hunting is about. I understand it’s frustrating and you were upset but they have that right on public land. I myself use a bicycle to run strip mine and forest service land but every man has a right to hunt their own way. A very very rare bad take by the turkey king himself.

[@coreyk5536]

How about directing your commissions to actual indigenous people? Pretty disappointing to see that none of the organizations you support include zero indigenous organizations.
