Wow! What a wild experience that must've been. I can't imagine the thoughts coursing through your mind under a life threatening situation like that with all that adrenalin flowing through your body. Anybody would've taken that shot.

My only comment is around wearing full camoflage in terrain like that. The last thing you want when hunting in a small party in dense grass and brush is to be invisible. I am not a fan of wearing blaze orange when hunting the uplands for birds, but damn, it sure makes a hell of a lot of sense in those conditions. It may not have changed the outcome with this incident, but who knows?

Great story and thanks for sharing!
