Around here we catch them with our bare hands then try to hold on.

My record is a long three count.

Many years ago. Probably in the late 80s if I"d venture a guess. I was invited on a spring turkey hunt. Carried one of our 10 gauges along. As I recall a single shot that time.

Had one chance at a tom that was a fair ways out. 65 ish yards. 2 birds. Shot the tom on the right. Flopped him dead and flopping. The one on the left fell and went to flopping too. I ran as fast as I could. No clue why I didn't reload and go shoot him. Got to him. Grabbed both rear legs. Held on. I forget how he ended up dead. But it wasn't pretty for what seemed like a few minutes. My memory thinks death may have been a combo of him beating me with wings good and me trying to swing his head around into trees. Its very possible he bled to death in the middle of the circus though. Nope. No pics. So it really never happened.

Guys I went with and I had a few good drinks that night around the fire. Arms were pretty sore for a while too.

Great story, Jeff
