[Blake tries to touch some mushrooms]
GradyAh, don't go anywhere near those. These are death cap mushrooms. The name ain't kidding. Eat one of those, you'll be wearing a toe tag real quick unless someone's got a brand new liver lying around for you.
[Blake is looking up at the trees]
GradyBlake. Blake. Blake. Did you hear what I just said?
GradySee, this is what I'm talking about... you're not hearing me. You're off in your own goddamn world somewhere. This place is beautiful. It's also dangerous. You can survive if you know exactly what to do.
Gradyit's not hard to die. It's the easiest thing in the world. We are all... inches away from it. And I'm not always gonna be around to watch over you, but I'm gonna make damn sure that you know how to survive as...
[they both notice a deer he takes aim but the deer moves away]
[Blake goes off on his own to hunt the deer himself his father grabs him angrily]
GradyYou know you need to stay near me. Right fucking next to me, boy! If you don't do what I say, you get hurt. Do you want to get hurt? Huh? Do you want to get hurt?
Young BlakeNo, sir, I don't. I just... I wanted to get a better shot at the deer.
[Something is heard climbing up the ladder outside the blind and starts to bang against the door trying to get in it ultimately leaves the deer that they were hunting and showing to have been killed with it's stomach torn open]

GradyKiel 714, this is Lovell 819. Kiel 714, this is Lovell 819. Kiel 714, this is Lovell 819. Do you read me? Where in the hell are you, Dan?
GradyDan, it's real. I had it in my scope. I almost shot it.
DanGrady, what is the point in going up that mountain after dark looking for something that doesn't want to be found?
GradyI wasn't looking for it. I was hunting deer down by the river. And it came after my boy. I'm gonna get it, Dan. And you got to come with me. Don't you want to keep your boy safe?
