two daughters were walking in the woods. A car comes by shooting out of the window at a deer. They slowed down to see if they got the deer but couldn't see it so drove on. As it turned out the deer was fatally wounded - my grandson trailed it after he got the girls back to the car and had to finish the killing so the deer would not suffer anymore.

Grandson said he wished he had his gun with him and he would have shot their tires out.
