Low blow man. Sorry to hear. I had that happen to me before with deer, but the fireing pin litterally froze inside the gun. While walking out I kept my hands over the reciever and shouldered it up to a big tree and wham it went off. It was doe season and I had a large heard come by (2 buck, 6 doe) with a monster 8pt and spiker, but I just wanted to take the lead doe. I guess it just wasen't ment to be. Again sorry to hear. If it makes any difference your not the only one it's happened too. I had a buddy who had that happen to him during bear season. Openning morning here comes a 300lber. At about 30yds. Click, click, click, click,he cycled the entire gun. Here it must of been his last shot sighting it in the spring that lets the fireing pin go broke. He still has all the rounds. Their in a glass case. In order and each round the dimple is less and less and less. The bear just staired at him and then slowly walked away. Stuff happens!!!!

that sucks.... I 'm hunting around that area also & the bnird have been a little funny this year. As far as the 2 permits I really think no matter how many you have you can still only harvest 1 per day.
