A little more story, I was in a hurry to get unpacked and out of the rain before.
It was one of those stories you here all the time but never see, we were coming back from being out all morning and not seeing much, a storm was coming in and we were trying to beat it back to camp, I was going down this dirt road pretty quick and I glanced over and he was standing 10 feet off of the road, well I pulled over really quick and by the time my son had his rifle out and loaded he had run across the road and about 100 yards up the side of a really steep hill/rockslide, We hurried off to the side of the road and the hill was so steep he actually had turned around and was heading back down. We had gotten about 20-25 yards closer and he tried to go up the hill again and hesitated a moment. Just when he stopped my son shot and dropped him, he rolled down the hill and landed about 3ft from the road. I backed up the truck and after taking pictures we put him in tha back and were dropped him off at the proccessor an hour later. I gladly paid the extra 10 bucks to have them gut him while the rain poured down. It was totally being in the right place at the right time, but my son didnt freeze or get flustered, as soon as a good shot preseneted itself he was ready and took it.
