I’ve done it a few times. It also costed me a nice deer a few years ago.
I’m left eye dominant but shoot right handed. My distance vision started slipping a few years ago so I would wear a real low power contact in my left eye only. That way I could still see a little up close with my right eye and definitely see distance better. Well I was in a ladder stand in some thinned pines during the rut and a doe came in on my 3 o’clock with a shooter behind her. She had me pegged and he was locked in on her. No way for me to get turned on her so I eased my gun to my left shoulder. When I looked through the scope with my left eye at the buck, not only was he not clear but he was way smaller and looked like he was 200 yards away when he was really only about 70.
I kept trying to make it work but it was a no go. Well the doe finally had enough and spun and ran away and he followed her. The next year I used both contacts and adjusted the bell on my scope to account for contact lens. Problem solved.
Same problem over here. When I was young I had (maybe I still have?) amblyopia. I wore a patch over my "good eye" all through 1st and 2nd grade to make my "bad eye" work, but now I'm cross eye dominant. When I try to shoot with both eyes open it's like they compete for dominance. I have shot a few deer left handed, even though I'm right handed. Funny thing is they let me fly in the Marines. Eye dominance never had any impact on me flying. They about shucks a brick when I told them I had amblyopia though. Lots of eye tests.
Since nobody has mentioned this style of shooting, my step father was an absolute UNIT when it came to shooting skeet. He would show off and shoot with the shotgun behind his back. True story. Damndest thing I ever saw.
