Owls
Darn things are back this year again. We get three of them hooting away around our house. They show up every fall and spring. These suckers are LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Three O'clock this morning, I was ready to take target practice. At first they were enjoyable to listen to. Now they are driving us crazy. I have no idea what kind they are, but they have rather big bodies, so not thinking a barn owl.

Several years ago I was out in my hunting shack waiting for Bambie to come along. A Great Horned Owl landed in a tree branch very close to my position and just sat there grooming itself for a day of sleep I presumed. I really enjoyed watching him!! He stayed the entire time I was there. No deer showed up that day but it made for a lifelong memory!
I told this story to my late uncle who was a very wise old hunter. He shared with me an old Indian tale.
"If an owl interrupts a hunt by landing nearby, it is best to leave and just return to your home wig-wam. Your hunt will not be successful that day."
