I vote “best of show” bud. Great story.

First time hunting big game with a smokepole, such a pilgrim. I learned a lot that season.

Shot it out zeroing in for fall hunting. Next spring while walking through property found it about 75-100 yards past target. Still have it but don't use it. Kept it for souvenir of stupidity.

Honestly, never have, although I have seen it done. Guys at the next bench were talking while loading and Im sure he was distracted.

I've seen a good You tube video of a guy doing this. It was funny but sad too.
