Incredible footage.

[@spencercox8972]

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!!

[@strydershadow391]

That was a special day of turkey hunting there. Great video Dave.

[@williamhills6039]

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

[@pinhotiproject]

Thanks for watching!

[@ryliec3622]

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

[@jefftyner]

Those colors are so beautiful!! Congratulations fellas

[@RoyRodgersMcfreely]

Love the videos Dave.. let’s hear the chatter after the stogies are lit!!

[@WildWhiskersOutdoors]

Thats whatcha call a PARTY!

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

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. 🦃🦃

[@csoultrain80]

God i love the sounds of spring! Awesome video man

[@jeremyf_thgtv]

Thats a Dream hunt right there!

[@jimpollard3168]

Now that's a turkey hunt! Nice job guys.

[@warbirdflyerF4U]

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😊

[@turkeyhunter7617]

Sweet hunt right there 👍👍

[@mikejustice2493]

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

[@publiclandwaterfowler]

It don’t get much better than that. Nice work fellas!

[@pinhotiproject]

Much appreciated!

[@mt.gamecalls2566]

Great video! What a great hunt. Thanks for sharing 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃

[@pinhotiproject]

Thanks for watching!

[@choochooman336]

Remember the old tree top turkeys series? You could have made the modern day cd out of this vid. This is some special video!

[@chriswallswvu]

Great stuff! Why do merriams fly down so early??? That was cool footage!

[@reecedobson4740]

Incredible footage! Loved it

[@pinhotiproject]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jamesspeck]

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!

[@benlane5059]

Loved watching from east Tn

[@chattahoocheeoutdoorsman4865]

I need to check out that section of the river 😂

[@JasonBrown-iv6dg]

That was insane 👍👍

[@ryanharkins9383]

Geeze Louise Dave. What a beaut Clark. That sure wasn't no effingham county ga turkey hunting.

[@pinhotiproject]

No sir. A long ways from it!

[@raymondfox8550]

Boy We Love IT Out West,, live in Washington State,, East side,,,🦃,, About a month,,,💯

[@travisarnott7093]

Man! Everyone needs at least one hunt like that in their days. Merriam's ain't always that easy for sure.

[@pinhotiproject]

That’s a fact.

[@farbeyonddriven8173]

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!!

[@michaelwilson203]

What a pile of gobbs. Great video

[@michellemorgan6295]

What a Awesome morning of Birds goblin

[@daviddaniel6666]

ACTION PACKED😮

[@johnmoney455]

Top notch video. Is it common for the Merriams to fly down that early?

[@pinhotiproject]

I see it alot.

[@travisarnott7093]

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.

[@johnmoney455]

@travisarnott7093 I live in NC and I've seen eastern birds ground roost or fly down early but it's pretty rare

[@rickygrundy1149]

I’ve heard the exact same amount of gobbling in South Dakota. I actually recorded it. It’s so amazing!!

[@Beardog_Unleashed]

Those jokers flew off early!

[@mitchellgoff]

What clip do you use for your GoPro to attach to your vest ?

[@pinhotiproject]

Just one from Amazon.

[@justinstarr9828]

That don't happen every day. Dang what a hunt.

[@kenthorner5647]

Your GoPro does reflect a lot. Wondering if that scared previous birds

[@pinhotiproject]

Possible.

[@dewayneknight2559]

That first gobbler was in hand to spur combat range...

[@conradyoder6897]

When Dave Owens says “Most insane hunt” it’s not clickbait.

[@pinhotiproject]

Ha! That made me laugh. I try not to clickbait at all. 😂

[@conradyoder6897]

@@pinhotiproject 👍🏼Much appreciated!

[@TexasTechHomer]

I heard more spitting in this video than I heard in a dirt floor Texas BBQ joint.

[@dustinbernard9123]

How close do eastern hen yelps sound to that of hen merriams?

[@pinhotiproject]

I think it's one in the same. Higher pitched out west maybe- the biggest difference is the witting versus clucking in my opinion

[@themichiganmountainman751]

What vest are you running? If I'm correct those look like gunsling straps on a alps vest!??

[@pinhotiproject]

It’s modded out to point of no recognition. It’s on an alps frame but I’ve had to redo most all stitching.

[@CliffWhitehall-ur9hd]

Tag team them

[@joshjohnson3352]

Idk buddy that spot doesn't seem too good. Might want to try somewhere else😅😅

[@TRKYHTR1]

If you don’t like that something is wrong with you. BTW who was milking the footage on that first one? 😊

[@pinhotiproject]

I was trying to let it get light! 😂
