I drive around with a fan on my truck's front bumper, honking the horn at field birds. Keep the hammer cocked on my muzzleloader.

On a serious note, this very topic came up before the season last season. I said heck no I wouldn't fan one. Then I fanned in two last season. Shot one at 22 steps in self defense coming to whip my tail. My buddy shot another one at about 8-10 steps coming to whip my butt. It was an absolute blast and a new way to kill turkeys. Indians did it hundreds of years ago I reckon. I will be the first to say I "knocked before I tried it". I will fan one in a second. It's fun and another tactic under certain circumstances. I love it.

Your welcome , thought it would be a good way to pass a little time til opening day !

I was just messing, always enjoy seeing what people think about the topic. I've done it, but haven't made up my mind about the practice just yet.

Never tried it but it does sound like a rush. I'm getting too old and sore to be crawling for them any more. I can wait for them.

Do you take a blow up man to the bar to attract women? Then leave the fan at home and turkey hunt.

When successful videos start showing up everywhere with women flocking to the blow up man in the bar then it will become popular practice to do also.

The guy in the video mentioned "your granddaddy". he must not have talked to a lot of grandaddys. They got there early and shot em off roost.
