... I also seem to remember Capstick saying that one of the things he feared the most was walking in front of a hunter who had a loaded chamber and that Nash Buckingham did not have a safety on his favorite duck gun.

That's the exact thing one of my friends, a bear guide says. He even tells of a time when he tracked a wounded bear into the alders; two hunters he was guiding came in after. The bear wasn't found until the next day. It had actually come around on their back trail. Still, he felt his greatest danger was the hot chambers the two hunters carried.
