Corollary to Murphy’s Law:

Proximity of natural objects to trigger is proportionate to caliber of firearm.

It’s a muzzle loader, not a Barrett...

What do you have against using a tree stand? Or is it the .50 black powder? Or is it the combination of the two? I’m not following you.

Most of my revolvers have the safety bar. The hammer won’t hit the firing pin unless the trigger is also pulled.

Everyone I know here who muzzleloads is going after deer at shorter range than rifle season,

That's the general plan with my gang of nimrods too , but to paraphrase JFK ,there is always some poor dumb son of a buck deer who does not get the word .

I don't understand your post. What is your point?

"Felony Discharge: Any unintended discharge of a firearm with potential to wound or kill another." Is this a Good Thing?

Bad . Crimes based on negligence are a cans of worms and subject to both prosecutorial abuse and political favoritism , sometimes even based upon who was struck . Look at the definitions for negligence in your criminal and motor vehicle codes as to what constitutes a felony or a misdemeanor and often you will find distinctions without differences .

The selection of little .50 cal charcoal burner and the tree stand were about the only things lefty here did right .
