Fanning, reaping,....

Oh yeah I love killing all those hens off the roost during the fall season. That's how I fill my freezer with 6 hens from this county and 4 hens from the next county and 2 from the other county over. It almost as hard as killing 4 gobblers by only calling from a 500 acre field as flat as a pancake and walking uphill 9 miles in the snow both ways to school 8 days a week without a summer break.

When I'm to old to try crawling with a fan and can only set and call, I will be way past 200 gobblers on my wall. And they are all field turkeys where I hunt.
 
I'm rolling at the reactions in this thread. Ol Worm, Zach, and Catman have taken a little pre season bait all the way down.

I do think some of y'all that are attached to the decoy/blind/fan/ambush stuff for field turkeys would really enjoy killing those birds with just a call and a gun if you got good at it. However, unless you have plenty of time each spring it is hard to dedicate oneself to doing it that way, it certainly has major disadvantages.

For the hundredth time I don't use decoys or blinds! Majority of the time it's a call or two and a gun. I've killed around 40 -45 turkeys and I've killed 6 using a fan.

If my fields were 500 acres flat as a pancake with a low turkey population then I think I would make a sport out of reaping, since there isn't much sense in trying to call a bird across such a field.

It's actually quite fun and rewarding, I guess our culture is just different it was enjoyable to have to work, strategize, and learn our birds to have success. We didn't need to kill something every hunt to have fun.

I never said I gotta kill every hunt to have fun. My most memorable hunt last year was calling and stalking some field birds that would never come into range. I got to watch lots of turkey behavior and then they flew up right next to me.

But a 500 acre flat field i wouldn't care for, me personally I don't like the flatness and open fields of west TN, I'd deer hunt there and have before, but it doesn't sound like somewhere I'd enjoy turkey hunting.

I have never tried fanning,decoying, or blinds setterman. Only calling as you do. I just don't see why someone trying something new and legal and different than YOUR way of thinking how turkey hunting should be or used to be gets under your skin so much?
