Classic case was a hunter on horseback with a rifle in a scabbard. Some other hunter heard the horse and figured it was an Elk. Took his shot at the noise. Pierced the horseman's leg, broke his rifle and killed the horse which fell pinning the rider. The eager shooter came running out to tag his “Elk”. Oops.
I have been in places where it rained #7 and #7.5 shot during Dove and Quail season. lol
