Default Who Has Missed This Year??

I ask to lighten my mood after missing a huge bird that I`ve been hunting for 5 days. A perfect set-up with 3 hens on one side and 2 longbeards and 4 jakes on the other. The hens are yelping and one is even cutting. The gobblers come running and at 40 yards I give them a cluck, they stop and stick their heads up and I shoot. You`d think this big bird was in the bag, NOT. He jumps around and then stops like nothing happened, so I quickly pump the gun and shoot again. CLICK, I short pumped the gun and it didn`t feed a new round in. Now at this point all hell brakes loose with gobblers and jakes flying off in every direction. This has been a great year with more action than any one person deserves but up till this year I`ve never missed. Well I`m now humbled because this year I`ve missed twice. Our season goes out on Saturday and I`m starting to look forward to sleeping in.
