Nothing impressive IMO. Good way to get shot.

I've had turkeys that had a massive head wound beat the crap out of me holding their legs early in my learning. The most intimidated I've been in the woods is hearing 5 gobblers beat each other with the butt of their wings. Turkeys are ruthless and strong as crap I can't believe that bird just gave up. So disappointed!! Lol
I was waiting to see him get his tail whipped by that bird! And he deserved it. Seems like that is harassing wildlife.
If turkeys are like our chickens, once you put them in a laying on their back position they tend to 'faint'. Sometimes not right away, but they pass out. We had to remove some fishing line from a rooster's foot this summer and didn't know this. Almost killed him, but at least he was calm for a couple minutes...lol. Thankfully, he fully healed and is alive and kick'n.

Its interesting, but not something that I'd do.
Dumb doesn't come close to describing it. If he wants to make it interesting try that on some longbeards with sharp spurs. I don't think they'd give up that easy.

My domestic turkeys will submit like that once both feet are captured and extended behind them. I am very familiar with the potential beating a mature bird can give. Jakes are stupid like button bucks. He wouldnt even get the chance on a mature bird

Jakes aren't the smartest birds in the field, still interesting he could get that close.
