Fanning, reaping,....

I've already forgot about the Spring season. Thinking of Fall and 6 hens with this new method. Do you guy's think it will work in the Fall?
 
My new camo for this Spring.

That's good, but I'm sorry, imo, this one still wins. The look on her face when she realizes what she is doing is priceless :shock: !

BTW, this reminds me, anyone want to admit to using the Lohman Pump Yelper :D ?

I agree. For some reason I keep going back to that page.

Calling is fooling their hearing! Fanning/reaping is fooling their eyes! IMO they are equal!!

There is nothing equal about it, period. It takes very little skill to crawl behind a fan where it takes years to learn how to call well, as well as when in order to kill field turkeys. Not to mention the knowledge it takes to learn how to set up.

Babies can crawl, it's not a reach to say if you put a fan in an infants hand they could do it if they had the strength to hold up a fan

years? I called in multiple turkeys the first year I hunted. Calling is easy when the birds are horny.

Calling is easy when you're dealing with current turkey populations and what you call a field we called a food plot.

Our fields were 500 acres, and flat as a pancake.

Sorry but there's a pile of naivity contained in your one sentence that has left me shaking my head at how dumb it actually is in reality.
 
I'm with catman. I called in and killed my first gobbler the first year they had a turkey season in my county, I was 14 years old. IMO their sight and hearing are equal. I have never tried anything other than calling but I'm sure fanning isn't as easy as it looks in those videos, they make calling look just as easy on the videos.
 
Your fields were flat as a pancake and 500 acres and you had to walk 9 miles to school uphill both ways and played basketball with a boulder.
 
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.

I'd love to see half the "fan" boys try and kill field turkeys legit, without blinds, decoys, ambushing etc.

I kill turkeys regularly. I don't use blinds or decoys or ambush them. Like I said before I use a fan, not a strutting decoy, a fan in certain situations. But 90% of the time I do it the legit way as you call it.
 
I'd like to see some of the great white turkey hunters of tndeer come hunt with me one day on a farm I can hunt in Marshall county and kill field turkeys there the "legit" way. The land owner lets a couple of other people hunt and they are complete idiots when it comes to turkey hunting and the birds are 10x worse than hunting public land birds, the fan is the only way to kill them unless you set there all day long and wait on one to walk by, which I don't have time to do.

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'm not sure what a great white turkey hunter is defined by, but those birds sound fun to me. Granted I like others are probably at different places in our careers, but those are fun to me. As I approach 200 dead long beards on my wall I really enjoy the tough hunts.

What causes our disagreements is our respective experience I would guess.
 
I had a lease in Marshall co, that place is covered up in birds..... Ray Charles could kill one there. If you can't kill birds there, you got a problem!!!!!! If you think it's tough killing birds where are plenty of them, try hunting where there aren't any...... I know your proud to have killed your fair share but your hunting in an area that's been blessed by the turkey gods...... :moon:

. Not sure I'd be fanning/ reaping around complete idiots. There had to be another way to hunt them. I would Google hunting Turkeys in an open field. I'm sure the Internet has lots of good ideas.
