Me and a friend worked a bird for an hour and he hung up at 80 yards strutting in the single ray of sunlight in a hardwood bottom. Finally, a hen came from behind and took him away. He and I were sitting there with our face masks and hats off, shotguns on the ground for about ten minutes after he was out of sight discussing our next move. Out of nowhere a bird fired off no more than 50 yards to our left. He couldnt see us through a thick patch. we scrambled and I got my gun up just in time to watch him step into the shooting lane. My buddy said "shoot him" and I rolled him up. Couldn't believe it went down like that. We left the strutter for another day.
