I'm still holding the 22lr with my center fire rifle is still slung across my back, magazine full with the bolt closed on an empty chamber and the safety on to make sure everything stays there. Not a chance of swapping over as it meanders into the undergrowth. Could have been my first bigger game.

Bugger!
