Last Chance (.410 hunt)

[Huntin Kidd]

Been after this bird for awhile and had one last chance Saturday morning. Friday evening I saw him and 3 hens before they flew up for the night. The area that they were in was perfect for me to try what has been a personal challenge for me. That was to try to get a legal bird in range of my O/U .410 . Now that I knew he was in a place that if he came to my calling I would have a good chance to kill him with my .410 it was time for me to try.
Well Saturday morning came and I was to the point that I have found myself many times before, at the gun safe looking in. Do I grab my 12 gauge as I have done many times before or do I grab my O/U .410. After all it is the last morning, I know were a good bird is, I have shot and patterned the .410 many times. What to do? I take it! One Last Chance...
I get to the woods and make my way to were i want to hunt and wait. Daylight comes and nothing.......then a crow flew over rising as much cane as he possibly could and i listen for the bird to gobble.......all the while I am still hoping I made the right decision in bringing the .410 and then he Gobbles one time. Well I was close enough time to see if he will answer. I call a couple times and nothing. It does not surprise me because this was the way he had done me a week before. So i wait for him to gobble again. Twenty minutes later he does and is a little closer so i call again and nothing. So I wait......about ten minutes go by with out a sound from him and then I see him. He comes right in to my decoys and presents me with my chance. I wait to see how close he will come and at 7 yards I decide that he is close enough and I am able to see him drop dead.
