This morning we couldn't get to those two toms before they hit the ground. Then a hen yelped twice and they went quiet. I had an idea of where they were headed and we chose to make the big circle (about a half a mile) in hopes of intercepting them later on. We did just that. Got them to gobble once at a crow call and quickly set up. I sanded my slate and was about to call when a hen stepped in the logging road about 60 yards out. I clucked ONCE and two gobblers stepped out. One immediately turned and started toward me and fanned. I dropped the call, got my hands slowly on the gun and found THE BREECH WAS UNLOCKED! It's a pump and the slide moved as soon as I touched it. Never have I had that happen and can only guess that the button on the rear of the trigger guard hit something on my vest maybe when unslinging it. So here I am with two toms approaching and the hen following. I try to get it pushed forward and locked quietly. It won't. I try again and then harder, CLICK! They straighten up and stare hard this time. Hold my breath, Lord help me! After about 5 seconds they drop their heads and start forward again. Now I am focused. Waiting for the heads to line up for a two for one shot. It doesn't happen. The larger tom makes it to 20 yards and stands on his tip toes. I ain't greedy, BOOM! He flattens, the other bird flies straight up, the hen runs back about 30 yards, I short stroke the pump, take aim at the second tom as it lands and the gun won't shoot! LOL! So there I am in the pickle again trying to work the slide when BOOM! my pal shoots the second bird. He had been to my left rear facing away and was watching over his right shoulder. When I dropped the first tom he immediately got up and went left far enough to get a clear shot as the second tom landed. He said he was waiting for my second shot and realized "he is waiting for ME to shoot, BOOM!" So the he got me outta my second pickle.   Mine was a 20 lb. 9 1/2" bearded tom with 1 5/16" spurs at 20 yards. Donnie's was 18 lbs. 10" beard and had 1 3/16" spurs.
