After Ash watched Ike kill his first deer, he was incredibly jealous and vowed not to be outshone by a much younger child. That night, he crept out into the woods with his gun, determined to kill an animal, any animal. While he was out there alone, he came face-to-face with a giant bear but was too afraid to shoot. He left the woods feeling ashamed and has never forgiven himself.
