House Joint Resolution 798, sponsored by Hemmer, honors Dave Owens for his remarkable achievement as the 2025 Grand National Calling Champion at the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) convention in Nashville. This prestigious title, often referred to as the "Super Bowl" of turkey calling, highlights Owens' dedication and skill in the sport, culminating in a victory over nine-time champion Matt Van Cise. Owens, a resident of Cherokee, Alabama, has a rich history in turkey hunting and competitive calling, previously winning the 2018 Grand National Senior Division Open Championship and the Georgia State Championship.

In addition to his competitive success, Owens is the founder of the Pinhoti Project, a video series that promotes a minimalist and authentic approach to turkey hunting. He is also actively involved in conservation efforts as a board member of Turkeys for Tomorrow, which focuses on sustainable wildlife management. Furthermore, Owens supports disabled hunters through the KT Team, demonstrating his commitment to inclusivity in outdoor activities. The resolution not only celebrates his championship title but also acknowledges his significant contributions to turkey hunting and wildlife conservation, wishing him continued success in his future endeavors.
