I've hunted with a few people that were scared to put their foot on a gobblers neck for fear the turkey might hurt them...there is no way they can.
There's no "run or stomp" involved.....it's tradition and a wise move to get to your turkey quickly and get your foot on his neck.
Putting your foot on a gobblers neck and making him give up his last bit of life signifies the battle is over.
Once you've shot enough turkeys this won't need explaining.

Agreed! I look like Carl Lewis in the Olympics running to put my boot on his neck, it's what I was taught and old habits are hard to break. One of these days I'm gonna beat the shot there
