I roosted this bird last night about 200 yards from my house.  He has been coming and going for the past two weeks.  I got in there before light and set up a hen and jake decoy on the edge of the field.  Right after I set down I noticed I set down right under a hen!  Well it started getting light and other birds around were gobbling and he sounded off about 75 yards away.  So I tree yelped real soft and another hen right beside him went to calling like crazy.  So i just done what she did!  He flew down and gobbled and me and the hen continued to call to each other.  Finally he gobbled again and I could tell he was right over the hill.  Then I heard him Drum and looked and saw that blue head at 40 yards.  He went behind a tree and I laid my call down and got ready.  He came out in full strut.  I let him strut for a minute and he poked his head up at 30 yards and them Longbeard #6's put a wop on him.  He flipped over and flopped his wing twice!
