Actually have my son get one on the ground - and stay there. He rolled a beautiful tom last year with his 20ga, but misjudged the distance and when we crested the slight rise to find his bird - all we took home were a few feathers and missed opportunity.
It's stuck in his craw all year, and if he doesn't give a bird a dirt nap this year I'm afraid I'll lose him as a hunting partner. Of course, it also didn't help that I took his mother hunting (the first time she's ever gone hunting) the last 4 days of the season, and lo-and-behold she bagged a jake the very last morning of the MI season...
