At the end of the day which situation would make you happier?

I think we have something in our nature that causes us to want to help any animal even if we normally want to kill it. We don't want to see anything suffer.

#2 would be a fun memory and story to tell.

Definitely #2

I actually had this happen to me, but it was entangled in blackberry vines. With dealing with the vines and and a wing tearing at my flesh, I got him free enough to get himself out. I killed his buddy that was with him an hour later. I could have killed him, but his buddy presented me with a better shot and it seemed wrong to kill him after I released him. His buddy stayed just out of shotgun range and paced back and forth while I worked the bird free. Then they met up and were on their way, until I interrupted them an hour later.

I will hunt the fool out of em, but hate to see any animal go out like that. It would be a cool memory in of itself.

I kill that one in the fence and I get the best of both worlds and don't even have to waste one of these ten dollar shells. So #1 by way of #2.

Free the Tom and call him the next day.  Fair chase and all that.

Set the gobbler free, if he truly loves you, he will come back to you
and then you can shoot him

#2 although it may depend on the circumstances(how epic the #1 hunt could be). 
  Free the gobbler and hope to see him again!

I would probably choose #2. Not for the saintly reasons of some of the more virtuous members responses, but for the memory/ story.  Z

A #2 as I don't want to see the animal suffer.

Thank you good sir, I don't often laugh out loud reading the forum, but that got a chuckle. 

#2 memory would last longer than the #1 memory.
