I don’t know if it’s been said, because I’ve not ready the entire 32 pages of this, but the traveling turkey hunter has got to be a miserable way to live IMO. I know Dave and other YouTubers are wired differently than me, but I love to hear one gobble and chase them as much as the next guy. I also enjoy the other things that come with that time of year. Crawfish boils, stopping by a friend’s camphouse to drink a beer and tell lies on the season, spending time with friends and family. I can do all of those things right here from my little corner of Alabama without sleeping in my truck and filming myself rubbing my eyes and telling the YouTube world how tired I am. I hunt for my enjoyment. I’ve been on out of state trips for my enjoyment. I’m not doing it to have a measure off with guys that don’t mean a thing in the grand scheme of the world.
It's a job and his career now.
In 2019 - my son and I ran into Dave at NWTF; Dave was in the KT Team booth. I remember taking a picture of my son with Dave but apparently didn't think enough of it to keep it during the many phone upgrades since then.
We went to the convention this year for the first time since 2019. I took a picture of Dave's booth this time. We didn't see Dave or actually bother looking at any his merchandise. And I'm not sure, but I think that may be Jughead down front with the backwards bottomland cap on.
There may have been some other Aldeer folks up in the crowd too, but I decided to blur their faces out since they may not want to be publicly associated with the other Pinhoti fanboys.
