I'm not sure that I'd ever try turkey reaping, but it does fascinate me. I'm just curious if we have any reapers on here, or anybody willing to give it a try.

We are required have orange visible on all sides in a hunting blind for our safety, but a guy can crawl behind a turkey decoy or fan towards a turkey to get closer. Makes sense to me. Doesn't sound dangerous?,?,..!.

I don't believe the orange is required on the blinds for turkey season.
As for reaping, I don't see myself ever trying it. I like to sit against a tree and wait for them to walk up to me.
I did overhear a couple of kids (12ish?) Talking about how cool it is when I was in gander mountain the other night.

HO on blinds is only required during a deer season when firearms can be used.. It's different, that's for sure ... |

Ya, only need orange on blinds for deer season, just comparing the safety issues.

Better be on private land and hope there are no trespassers - I'd want any hunting partners to be Very trustworthy as well!

It does intrigue me, but I'd never even try it on private land.

Call it what you want , reaping, fanning whatever....I call it plain and simple stupidity to the 1000th degree!..The 12 year old kid comment above, is exactly what will happen....some kids will die because the ignorant TV shows glorify this crap..hard to believe how stupid people have become.

Looks like fun, but have to admit. I cant get a bird to come near me or have that many any place I have hunted.
I cant have that much luck, just to hear one is lucky for me let alone have one come into range. lol
But I have seen videos of that and sounds like fun.

Well.....after trying it on 3 hunts last week...I was successful on Sunday evening. I crawled to within 35yds of a Tom & 2 Jakes. The Jakes were very aggressive towards my "fan" . definitely an adrenaline rush hunting them like that. If I could figure out how to post a pic with the proboards app I would post some.

I just must not be very stealthy.
The day before I killed my bird I tried crawling behind my b mobile just 10yds into the field to get it setup. Neither long beard liked it and left the field for about 30min.
...and they were barely visible over a rise in the field...500yds away.

My son killed a nice bird on Monday that way. He said he was 10 yards away when he let him have it.
