Mine definitely was. I was able to make it to Walmart for a reprint with like 20 minutes to spare. Otherwise it was a 2+ hour drive home to look for something that I had idea where it might be.
On the first day, one of the guys walked around all day without a primer in his muzzleloader.

I spent an afternoon hunt once with no round in the chamber. Only found out when I got back to the truck and unloaded. Derp!

Hint. DO NOT talk to people when they're gearing up. I have this rule when I'm hooking/unhooking the RV too. I will sure as hell screw something up (unhooking) if you bring me a beer and start flapping your gums while I'm working.

That is a good rule- I can be forgetful. I will probably make a checklist and check it off before I head out.

I was hog hunting last year and was within 15 yards of the hogs, i could hear them breathing. couldnt see shit in the thicket though. Got back to the truck and realized I didnt have one chambers. so i know how you feel!
