Saw 2 birds strutting tonight about 6:30 with 6 hens and decided to make a move on em. I got inbetween them and where i thought they would roost but it was getting close to dark and they hadn't shown so I stood up to take a look and they were still in the bottom strutted up. The field they were in had about a foot and a half of grass so I belly crawled within 120yds of them and started clucking and purring and they gobbled. Every time I clucked, purred, cutt or yelped they gobbled. There was a little treeline behind them and the hens flew up. I figured game over but the gobblers kept looking my way. Started doing some aggressive clucking and purring and they moved about 20yds closer. I shut up and about 2 mins later they couldn't take it anymore. They started heading my way. I was just laying in the grass belly down with my gun shouldered and when they popped up about 20 steps in front of me I purred and they almost blew my ears off. It was awesome. Picked the bigger bird out and laid it to him. This one will definitely go down in the books as a cool hunt. Not the usual way I kill one but it was awesome just laying there and having them come that close.

He was double bearded. Main beard was 11-1/2'' and the second was 6''. 1-1/16'' Spurs.
