Saw where Dave had a heckuva weekend at the NWTF GNCC. He took 1st place in the GNCC Senior Division Championship and 2nd in the Head to Head. Congrats Dave!

Absolutely!!!  Watched it live on the Facebook feed and his runs were awesome!!!  Hands down was the best caller on stage.  I believe he should have also won in the head to head competition

Dave's amazing run in the finals starts at about the 1:01:20 point. Don't miss the judges comments at the end of his run.

I only sat in for a few of the callers at the finals. I was fortunate enough that Dave was one of them and I got to hear him live. He was INCREDIBLE. Congrats, man!

Dave can flat out run a mouth call.  He is pure turkey!  He is also an incredible turkey hunter.  He has killed gobbler in every state in the USA that has Turkey!  That's a huge accomplishment in it's self, now he has won the super bowl of turkey calling!!  Way to go Dave Owens!!   Now all he has to do is start making some box calls or pot calls and win some at the nwtf turkey call making contest and he will be the most decorated turkey hunter, caller and call  maker in the world.,   Congratulations Dave Owens!!

I think his comment when asked how it felt to win says everything, "It's two weeks 'til turkey season!"

Loved it! Big congrats Dave, well earned! Those jake yelps were absolutely incredible!!

I think the new scenario format really shows who the turkey HUNTERS are.

Thanks guys! It was an incredible and unexpected experience.

and I'm not sure "It's 2 weeks until turkey season" was the correct thing to say but that's how I'm wired. :toothy9:

Congrats Dave, that was an incredible showing no matter how you slice it. To awe Preston Pittman speaks volumes on just how good you nailed it. Best of luck in the future as well.

Those two sequences were on a different level then the rest of the callers.  A lot of past champions were scratching their head i bet!  Congrats Cove!

Congrats on an amazing job.

I have probably watched every one of your turkey hunts and some multiple times and I knew you could run a call...but man you stepped it up a few notches on that stage. That was an unbelievable performance.

Was that your first time competing at that level ? or competing at all ?

Regardless, now you just need to go kill some turkeys and get us some new videos for the off season !!!

Hell of a run! Watching that run put a fire under me, as if it wasn't bad enough already. Spent the majority of my morning watching Cove's YouTube channel. Safe to say I'm angry at the birds this year. Lookout LA, MS, and FL. Where ya at March 15?!

I first called in Nashville in 2013. This was my 6th year calling at that level, seems like forever to me but I'm still considered a "newcomer" I suppose. I'm hoping to have plenty of enjoyable stories to tell through video as this season progresses. We are looking to release the "who what why and how" of the Pinhoti Project next week on my YouTube channel and will be pulling out for the South Florida opener soon thereafter. For those of you that participate on Facebook or Instagram I hope you can follow along.

Not to derail this thread, but I've been wanting to start getting some quality video of hunts. This year may be the year. Outside of barrel mounted cams and strategically placed gopros, what equipment do you use (camera and mic equipment particularly)?

I hate to give any input here because I'm using so much new stuff this season as we attempt this I'm unsure how it's going to perform. Ask me post season and I should have plenty to share. The biggest thing for quality footage, is a camera man, plain and simple. It's hard to do alone.
