My knees went weak last year on opening day muzzleloader.

When I got into my treestand I loaded my gun and then placed a cap. My cap holder fell down to the ground.

Later in the morning I had a nice 8 pointer 15 yds broadside and went to shoot and I had a dud. Pop! Then I remeber I dropped my caps. The deer stayed within 35 of me for over a half hour. I was just shaking like a leaf.

After he left I climbed down and put in a new cap, aimed for a tree and no problem.

Lesson learned I always keep extra caps with me in my pouch.
