I never cared for fanning but that was intense.

I would never shoot a bird reaping, but if I had private ground and a pile of turkeys, after the season ended, I would absolutely one day like to reap one up close, drop the fan and say "Boo".
Why wouldn't you? Not criticizing you, we are friends Larry. But, it seems like it would be a LOT of fun and super exciting!!! I would never let it replace my usual turkey hunting style, but I sure would love to do it once or twice!!

Sent from deep in the woods where the critters roam.

I'll admit that the up close drumming was cool but I put the method right on par with spot lighting deer.  It's a weakness of a turkey that is too easily manipulated and taken advantage of.

I have never had a problem other than safety for what others do.  I just would not do it.  I use decoys so no judgement.  Would not shoot one with a rifle although if I did, I would already be done this year.   Just not for me.  I reckon I just make my own rules for how I hunt to keep it fun for me.

Cool footage but I'd just as soon sneak under him and limb him as reap him.
