We laughed for about an hour because we really didn't realize what happened. My wife was starting to get a little sick of me being gone and I understood so I was going to pick a day either Saturday or Sunday... I initially picked Sunday because I thought that would provide the better weather. Scott called me and told me the forecast had changed and that I should consider Saturday. Well I jumped on the weather page and sure enough it looked good. We got set up and had three different birds going. This one being the closest. He pitched down with two hens and started strutting in another field. Soon the hens were in our field and proceeded to head up the ridge of the field that you can see towards the end of the video.

I no more than got that out of my mouth and the fan once again crested the hill and proceeded to come on a line and never came out of strut. We were both in shock. Shot time 6:07 am.
