Flopping birds

Different people do different things for toms flopping around on the ground after the shot. Usually I just let em flop and expire but that sometimes messes up the fans. What do you do?

Carefully step on the head. Watch the spurs.

Step on the head. If you want him to look good for a mount or picture, you better grab his legs and get him lifted off the ground as soon as you get a foot on the head. If not, he may still end up ringing his own neck and blowing off about half his feathers.

After about 30 years, experience has taught me to just let em flop.  :funnyturkey:

I know that I am in the minority here on this, but I hold him down on the ground with his wings pressed against his back and his feet under him. Every gobbler that I done this to simply expires with minimal extra damage.

I Always stomp on there head, My Buddy calls that the Crunchy Dance.

I keep shooting until he's not flopping at all, seems to work great...just kidding.

I either put a boot on his head or just let him flop until he expires.

I carefully grab the legs and hoist them in the air to let them flop their last without beating out their feathers. I've been pretty lucky cause I've only been spurred twice. :lol:
