I quit watching the video after the guy was swatting at the turkey with a fan. Wouldn't intentionally let a gobbler (wild or tame) get that close if I was turkey hunting.

I would have caught it and gotten a pic with a wild turkey.
True story. Two years ago I was at Bowhunter84's camp. Got up to go hunting and the wind was blowing 25 mph so I went back to sleep. Got up at 7 and the wind had laid down and Darryl had already started texting me to give me a hard time about sleeping in. Drove over to my property and slipped in this area that had an old fence line going down into a bottom. Had been literally sitting there for 5 minutes when I see a gobbler cross the fence about 75 yards from me walking right to left. called to him and he perked up and then started walking the way he was going which was into a swamp. I'm sitting behind one of those Primos stake blinds so I call to him again and when he stopped and looked I raised a fan over the blind material. He tensed up and starts running directly at me. I lose sight of him because it drops off a hill right past my blind and I'm sitting here with shotgun pointed not knowing where he's going to pop out. The next thing I see is him creating the hill about 5 feet from my blind and launching himself over the netting. Just out of reflex I put my left arm out to keep from hitting me and my hand stopped his momentum and he fell backwards and flopped around and got to his feet. He run out to the fence and stopped and I shot him.
When I got back to Darryl's place my arm kept stinging. I took my hunting shirt off and that stupid turkey had scratched my arm pretty bad all the way down my forearm. I guess he got me with one of his toenails or something.

If I had known he was going to jump in the blind with me I would have definitely tried to catch him. That would have made a hell of a story lol.

Had a bizg longbeard rio get run into some black brush by some yotes in texas. I pulled up bout the time they was fixin to kill him. Burnt one down an wounded the other one. I walked up an untangled mr gobbler an it was like he was soooo glad to see me. I picked him up an fixed his feathers an fluffed him up. Took a picture with him an set him back down sucker hung around for 30 min after that before he finally waddled off

If it was truly a wild bird I would've shot him and never though twice about it. I actually wouldve shot him before all that even took place. Pretty strange for a wild bird to act like that though. If that was a wild bird it never would have gotten that close if they were truly hunting
