I ain't stupid enough to grab an unrestrained grown gobbler. Pretty sure it would make a great video of you getting yer ass whipped good and proper. The one I hand killed was tangled up in honeysuckle vines and unable to flog and spur my ass.
BC, my brother has been crawling gobblers in south Fl for years w/o a decoy. He says they will walk up to you or just stand there and watch you belly slide up to very close range. Not me. Have you seen the size of those Eastern Diamondback Rattlers they have down there????
