  Hill country, grab him by the head til he gets the flop out of him, flat country, don't touch him unless he starts to flop. If he does, just pick him up by the head and carry on. Just hold his back towards you if he has some hooks.

I have always enjoyed the flop.  If one doesn't flop, I will touch him to get him started unless gravity is likely to flop him into water.  I hate a wet turkey.

Gobble!

If hes flopping I grab both of this legs and pick him up while trying to step on his head. Not becuase I'm worried about him going any where but becuase I dont want him messing up his feathers.
