I got in my stand about an hour before day break this morning and decided to take a short nap. Kicked back in my treelounge with my eyes shut listening to the creek roar, the critters scamper, bird holler, 4 wheelers headed up the mountain. It was cold but nice to be in the woods.
I was about 30 feet up at the first limb in the poplar tree I was using and suddenly I heard a big swoosh and felt wind off of bird wings. Danged if the biggest owl I've ever seen in my life didn't land on that limb next to my head. :speechles This sucker would have made 3 of my wife's shnauzer.
Well, we had us a Mexican stand off with a flashlight for about 15 minutes till finally it gave a couple of hoots and took off. I just wish I'd had that fresh pair of shorts today.
