Transcript

00:00 We're two hours south of Atlanta, it's Labor Day weekend and that means the opening weekend of Georgia's dove season.

00:06 We're here with the 24/7 Hunt Crew and Can-Am and we're going to check out how the biggest weekend in Georgia dove hunting goes down every year for these guys.

00:14 And we're going to look at how they use their Can-Ams to enhance the experience. Come check it out with us.

00:19 [music]

00:24 So we're getting loaded out this morning, the hunt's about to start, but check this out, look how many Can-Ams there are here.

00:29 We've got a Commander Mud Ready, bone stock, but look at this.

00:34 Defender HD10 Lone Star Edition with these sick MSA wheels on it. And come around the back, check this out.

00:41 You've got a shotgun rack, you've got a gunner dog kennel right there to get you and your dogs right out into the field.

00:47 There's a toolbox on this thing, fully enclosed cab, windows, mirrors, the works. This thing is loaded down.

00:54 And look at this, is that our tuk-tuk? It's not our tuk-tuk, but it is a Defender HD7 with a pretty similar rack to what we've got going on.

01:01 That thing is going to be invaluable this weekend. And if that's not enough, there's a Defender Limited HD10 right here, just a normal enclosed cab.

01:10 That thing's going to be sweet. Got another HD7. And then come down here, this is the really cool part.

01:16 There's not one, there's two Defender 6x6s. That's an XT, that one's a Limited, which means enclosed cab and air conditioning in the full works.

01:26 Can-Am has brung the house to support this hunt, and we can't wait to see all these things in action.

01:31 And also, these aren't the only Can-Ams here. The guys from the 24/7 crew have at least three, and we'll be checking those out later in the video.

01:38 I'm here with Renar Moody. He's the guy who put this whole thing together.

01:42 Renar, what a beautiful morning. Tell me a little bit about 24/7.

01:46 Yeah, man, so 24/7 Hunt, we're just a community-based outdoor group. We like to spread love and shine a lot of light on the outdoor community.

01:55 We're minority-based, so we like to appeal to a different demographic. It's just a blessing.

02:01 We want to do our part and get more people outside and having fun, whether that's hunting, hiking, or whatever.

02:07 We like to try to touch the younger generation as well, so we kind of play with a lot of different things.

02:13 That's just the whole motive, man, just to bring everybody together outside and have a strong community.

02:18 So did you start with hunting, or did you start with community?

02:20 Man, we started with, I guess, both at the same time, simultaneously.

02:24 I grew up hunting with my dad and all my uncles and family, so it was always a good time.

02:29 That's what hunting's about to me, good time, memories, and just sharing that time together.

02:35 So that's what we try to stay focused on.

02:38 Right on. What's next for 24/7? Where are you guys going?

02:41 Man, hopefully to the moon. Hopefully to the moon, man. We got a lot of big things coming.

02:46 We want to keep raising money. We do a lot of scholarship things for the youth, stuff like that.

02:51 Raising money to get people outside and help with scholarships, like I said, with the college kids and stuff like that.

02:58 So just trying to create more ways to reach out and help the people that's younger than us,

03:04 and that might have interest in what we have going on.

03:09 So you talk about young people and getting the community involved.

03:12 I noticed that a lot of the gear, a lot of the hunting gear out here is not the normal stuff you see in the field.

03:16 Tell me a little bit about some of the urban wear stuff you're doing and where that came from. How does that tie in?

03:21 Yeah, so with us having a big urban influence in the brand and what we do,

03:25 we like to take the urban space and mix it with the outdoor space and just find that sweet spot.

03:31 It gives people a good glimpse of who we are from the best of both worlds.

03:38 It's something that the hunting industry really hasn't seen, and that's where we fit. That's our home.

03:44 Like I said, it all goes back to us appealing to a different demographic and just doing our part,

03:51 touching the group of people that haven't really been touched in the past.

03:56 As you see, people think Georgia and they think Atlanta.

03:59 What does it feel like to show people this side of Georgia, this part that you're from,

04:03 which is completely different from what most people imagine?

04:06 Right, right. I love it. To me, this is what Georgia really is.

04:09 You can go get you a little taste of city and then drive an hour outside of that and you're in the country.

04:16 I think us Georgia folks are real versatile. We all come from a space similar to this.

04:23 Roots of people's families all come from this country pretty much.

04:28 It's just fun to bring it back, dial it back in, get away from the amulet signs and stuff like that

04:33 and get outside and just be at peace and one with nature.

04:37 It's beautiful to be able to show the world this is Georgia, this is what we're about,

04:42 real community-based folks, and just getting back to loving each other.

04:46 You mentioned getting outside, and a big part of getting outside are these can-ams here,

04:50 those side-by-sides. How do you work those into your hunting and how do you work them into 24/7?

04:55 For one, a can-am, the best machine on the market, and we love it.

05:01 It just makes the job easier for everything we have going on, whether that's sobering people,

05:07 hauling ducks, hauling deer, working on the farm, stuff like that.

05:12 It's just a versatile vehicle. From there, you can dive into can-am.

05:16 If you want to go street-based, they have that too.

05:19 It's just a great company, great brand, and good products.

05:23 We just love to utilize them. It's a tool, and they're real reliable, and that's what we want to be about.

05:28 What were you driving before you guys were using can-ams? Were you doing four-wheelers?

05:32 We were using four-wheelers and different side-by-sides from some other manufacturers.

05:37 The ride in the can-ams is just incomparable.

05:42 You kind of feel like you're floating. I don't see us leaving any time soon.

05:46 It's a dream come true to be able to work with can-am and be a part of their family.

05:51 We really appreciate everything they do for us.

05:53 Excellent. We can't wait to see some hunting, get some ducks on the ground.

05:57 Thank you so much for having us. Guys, check out 24/7 Hunt on Instagram.

06:01 We've got you guys on TikTok, YouTube.

06:02 Yes, sir. 24/7 Hunt everywhere. TikTok, YouTube, music, everything.

06:07 We've got games on the iPhone, so just check us out.

06:10 We're versatile with the brand, so we want to be everywhere.

06:14 We appreciate you having us, and we can't wait to see some hunting go down.

06:16 Yes, sir. Appreciate you. Thank you all for coming.

06:18 This is crazy. They told us there would be a lot of people here, but look at the line down the road,

06:24 and there are still cars pulling in. It's going to be a big hunt today.

06:27 We're still getting everything set up, but the can-ams are off the truck.

06:30 Everything's about ready to go. We're going to get everybody parked up,

06:32 then there's going to be a briefing, and then the hunting commences.

06:36 There's got to be 200 cars.

06:39 Before we bring you more action from 24/7 Hunt Crew, do me a favor.

06:58 Pause the video, go down below, like, comment, and subscribe.

07:02 We've got new content on YouTube every week, and this is just the beginning of the shenanigans we get up to.

07:09 Nice.

07:11 Watch his head. He's been shooting.

07:14 Real good.

07:17 Shoot him. Shoot him.

07:32 Yes.

07:34 Right in front.

07:44 Cover you, cover you, cover you.

07:46 Right here, right here.

08:00 All right, we're taking that spot.

08:03 In the middle.

08:05 My boy.

08:07 Baby.

08:09 She wasn't even waiting to shoot.

08:11 I don't need your permission.

08:13 Baby, let's go. Good girl. Good girl. Let's go.

08:16 All right, that's it for Saturday, day one of 24/7 Hunt Crew's Georgia opening day dove hunt.

08:21 Today has been an absolute blast, pun intended, but tomorrow promises to be better.

08:25 We'll be hunting over a sunflower field, and that is said to be some of the best dove action you can get.

08:30 We're going to go have a beer and cool off. We'll see you guys tomorrow.

08:33 It's Sunday, day two of the 24/7 Hunt Crew Georgia opening weekend dove hunt.

08:47 We are here at Renar Moody's dad's house. This is a pretty epic spot.

08:53 It's kind of the headquarters of the whole crew.

08:55 There's a sunflower field off to my left that the hunters planted over the course of this year to bring the doves in this fall.

09:01 The hunters who have stuck around for day two are getting ready to go out and get in the field.

09:06 We're promised that there's going to be a lot of doves flying around this afternoon, and particularly this evening,

09:11 so we're going to stick around and check it out.

09:12 Now, we've got a flight to catch, so we won't be here for the entire hunt,

09:15 but we're going to do what we can to see some doves on the ground.

09:18 Renar, we're out here on the edge of your sunflower field.

09:21 What are you looking for, and tell me a little bit about this field.

09:24 I understand you pumped a lot of seed into it this year.

09:27 Yeah, man. We planted about 80 acres of sunflowers.

09:32 Man, birds love to eat sunflowers. It's probably their number one favorite snack, other than wheat.

09:38 We planted sunflowers, and they're pretty good.

09:41 We have hair strips in it. They love fresh dirt as well.

09:44 We just try to get it prepped and make it as appetizing as possible.

09:48 That's the recipe, so all you can do after that is hope they come.

09:51 Yeah. Now, what does fresh dirt provide for the birds that's good for hunters?

09:55 Man, fresh dirt just gives them a fresh turn of seed or anything up under that first layer of dirt.

10:03 They can nibble on it, and then they like a clean ground.

10:06 There he is, right in front of you, right straight up.

10:13 Yeah, dove have little feet, so they like to be able to walk on clean ground.

10:18 That's kind of the idea thing there. They don't like thick cover to walk on.

10:24 They want something they can walk on clean and get out of there pretty quick with predators and stuff like that.

10:29 We just like to make it as appetizing as possible for them and create the scenario, and hopefully they come.

10:36 Tell me a little bit about the heat today. How's that affect the hunt?

10:39 Man, it's hot, man. The birds really don't like the heat too much.

10:43 Of course, they'd rather feed as the day gets longer.

10:47 The afternoon, that sun goes down. It's pretty tough on them when the sun's directly above here.

10:54 You'll get them feeding all throughout the day, but not a heavy feed.

10:57 You get one or two like that. As the afternoon goes on, you'll get a heavy feed.

11:03 That sun being directly above them, it gets hot.

11:09 That one's dry.

11:11 That's too hot.

11:13 Keep them pushing.

11:16 This dude right here dropped it. Right here.

11:19 Straight up.

11:21 That boy shoot him, man.

11:29 Tell them boy to bring it to the house in Avenue.

11:33 [laughter]

11:35 That's probably getting up there.

11:56 Way too high.

11:58 [gunshot]

12:00 Woo-hoo-hoo!

12:05 I got a little camera.

12:10 You record?

12:11 Yeah. I wouldn't even record. I would shoot video.

12:15 I'm going to dangle it to the camera.

12:17 You going to eat it?

12:19 Yeah.

12:21 They love those pecan trees, man.

12:24 [gunshots]

12:26 I'm burned.

12:54 Alright, guys. That's the end of day two for the 24/7 dove hunt.

12:57 We finally got a chance to try and put a bird on the ground.

13:00 We haven't yet. We've got about ten more minutes before we need to head out to the airport.

13:05 Look out.

13:07 [wind]

13:09 That's the end of day two of the 24/7 dove hunt.

13:29 Opening weekend in Georgia. It's been an incredible time.

13:32 We finally got a chance to try and put a dove on the ground ourselves.

13:35 We haven't yet. We've got another ten minutes before we need to leave for the airport.

13:38 Thanks for hanging out with us. Thanks so much to 24/7 Hunt Crew for having us out.
