Hahahah bronco good one. The shaking hunter was an exaggeration but I have on occasion during my 50 yr some odd hunting career developed a serious case of the shakes. The 2014 bull elk at 35 yds with about 30 or so cows all around me really got me going. The hunting Gods smiled upon me and kept the wind perfect so I didn't get scented by any of the girls some of which were 20 yds away. I could hear the herd bull coming up the canyon for what seemed about a minute and figured I would either get scented or seen hiding along the log I had been sitting on. When he popped up over the edge as the last in the herd I was shaking pretty good. I did once spill the load with a speed loader in the snow as described but quickly dumped the half filled barrel and loaded another. After that I did switch to pellets and have used them with good success ever since here in Vt where legal.
