[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 2987799, member: 67552"] I actually did back in 1993 with a muzzle loader of all things. I was in the GW National forest in VA. I was contemplating how to negotiate a stretch of blow-down and a doe walked up on to a little bench below me. I miss judged the distance and shot just over her shoulder hitting the tree a couple feet behind her. I crouched down waiting for the smoke to clear and when I could see again, there she stood I think confused on which way to run. I dumped more powder, got the ball started and packed, dropped the first primer as cold fingers tried to get it on the side mounted nipple on the borrowed Hawkin, finally got it primed and there she still stood stalk still broadside. It is one of my fondest memories. It was one of those cold damp VA mornings with the sun just starting to throw beams on the hill-tops, Dead calm. No way I should have been able to cock the gun again let alone reload. It was like a gift. [/QUOTE]
