I'd never shot a rifle left-handed until one day, when deer hunting, I climbed into my home-made tree stand just to rest a bit. Didn't bother to remove my sling, just laid the rifle down on the stand. Then, I pulled out my deer call and blew it a couple of times. About a hundred feet up the hill, I heard a deer approaching, so picked up the rifle. The deer ran left to right, just behind the tree my stand was against, then stopped about 25 yards away to my right, at a couple of scent pads I'd placed and turned broadside. I picked up the scoped rifle, and mounted it, but couldn't get my finger into the trigger guard because the carry strap was across it. After the second try, I realized the problem and flicked the strap away, but the buck saw me move and immediately started running directly away, heading for a woods road. I mounted the rifle and, with the crosshairs perfectly centered on it's backbone near the shoulder, fired the .270 and the buck tumbled down, less than 40 yards away. That was the only time I've ever mounted, let alone fired a rifle left-handed, but it seemed perfectly natural. I think I could get used to doing it, if necessary.
