I'll try to make this is short as possible. Several birds gobbling on the roost, made a few soft calls and waited. They flew down and got quit but waited knowing they were coming to our field. He popped out about 200yds down the field and came in slowly to our calls, take a few steps, gobble, strut and repeat. Finally he saw our bmobile and hen and ran in the last 75-80yds. He had relations with the hen devoy first then started his dance with the killer B. Finally he slowed down just enough for her to get off the 15yd shot at him. The shot looked a touch low but he jumped around and walked about 40yds and stopped all hunched over. While watching him and waiting 2 more long beards came out and ran to the decoy, flogged it and made a mess of the decoys before noticing her bird and running to it and doing the same. We waited a few minutes for those birds to finally work away from us before going to find hers. He ended up only being 5yds from where we last saw him just inside the woods but I promise it was a chore to find him. It wasn't til the 3rd time I looked in this little thick spot that he finally revealed himself with his flapping wings. Another awesome hunt with one of the luckiest little hunters I've ever seen!
