He was to damn scared to move. His balls most likely turned to jello. You see hoe he kept his face down and didn't look at the Silverback? If he had the gorilla would have considered it a chalange and ripped his head off.
As I said, calmness under pressure. Bob Munden couldn't have gotten to his gun fast enough even if he wanted to. It was sit tight and think happy thoughts or die. I've said it before and I'll say it again, that the scariest creature in the woods is a baby animal of virtually any species, because if you're close enough to say "Ooh, how cute.", Momma is about 2 seconds away from seeing what your spleen tastes like. This guy, with an 800 pound silverback AND momma within touching distance while the babies were all over him? There is no amount of money in the world that would get me to put myself in that position. Yikes!
