One of the absolutely funniest things on a hunt that ever happened to me was on a goat hunt.

We had been there since daylight, shot two,,I had the third license.
The rancher who had given us permission saw us, stopped, and suggested a good high vantage point to have lunch and glass. He joined us.
While sitting there a 14in buck cruised past us at 100 yds. I dumped him.

Now the rancher had one of the cattle dogs which looked like a 200 lb ball of grey hair..it had sat in the back of his truck the entire time we had been near the rancher.
The moment the goat hit the ground, the dog was on him, ripping pieces of fur off of the goat.
I didn't get excited, just looked at the rancher and asked him if the dog did this very often.
He replied "Well, I guess he never caught one before"
