I saw a post on a FB muzzleloading site about him with a link to Youtube.
He was hunting caribou in Alaska with a muzzleloader.
He loaded his rifle, capped it, then lowered the hammer on to the cap. He was moving thru brush and had the buttstock over his shoulder and was holding the barrel at the muzzle. Going thru some brush, a branch pulled the hammer back and dropped it on the cap. He shot his little finger off.

This happened some years back.

This guy claims to be a Last of the Breed™ mountain man.

Stupid is as stupid does.

In one segment he was making an osage bow to hunt with, it was obvious he didn't know anything about bow making. Instead of chasing a ring down the back he was shaping the back with a course rasp, I knew he would never make a bow out of the stave he had. He didn't know the steps to make a bow and failed at his project quickly.

All of this kind of stuff is scripted by writers who don't know squat about the topic at hand, the "actors" don't know either and go along with what they are told to do.

It's Hollywood so natural stupidity goes hand an hand.
Now the sad part is millions of people believe everything they see on T.V. an the Internet..

Considering it's a hunting show. It's not Hollywood run

There are numerous historical documented cases of this type of accidental discharge in the War Of Northern Aggression; both sides; most fatal. Greatest number involved crawling/climbing over fences, then reaching and pulling muzzle first...

One of my Dads Friends blew his arm off climbing through a barbed wire fence while rabbit hunting.. Before my time.

My Dad wasn’t with him at the time, but he always made sure when we came too a fence one person held the guns while the other crossed the fence…
Then the guns were handed over the fence with the muzzle always pointed in a safe direction.
We did not unload the guns too cross the fence, but they were always safely handled.
