Well today I did a little lookin' around. I have had a hard time getting turkies to come all the way into my set-up and needed to look over a farm I have permission to hunt. It is an awesome little farm.

These 2 let me know they were onto me.

I owl hooted and tried to get a shock gobble and called in not one but three of these dudes.

I then rounded a bend in a thicket to see if I could strike a bird only to be met by my old friend.

She is about 4 years old now and has had healthy fawns every year. She drug a huge buck to me last year that stayed just out of bow range. She also ruined a turkey hunt for me 2 years ago when the gobbler that was coming on a string to my bow came unglued at the site of my white friend standing 15 feet upwind of me. She and I are connected, and I have counted coup on her many times. Someday she will send a buck to me to repay me for my favor.

Until then the little piebald looks the other way when I pass in the spring and agrees to dodge the other hunters in the fall so that we can have more moments like this.

Can't believe you actually saw an owl. That's just way too cool. I've never seen one in the woods.
Some great pictures there, thanks for sharing.
Cheers

Oh God...we are over run with them here.lol They logged an ajoining property and all of the resident red squirrels vacated and took the owls with them.The Barred owls are a dime a dozen now.Haven't seen the Great horned owl in a long time.
Great photos Mike. :thumbsup:
There are places that resonate to our souls, and vice-versa.

Great pic's....thanks for sharing.
very cool
Great pictures, thanx for sharing.
Cool, love that white fawn!
Thanks for sharing.. I too would not kill that doe. I've always wanted to see a piebald deer in the woods.
I went over ten years hoping to see Bobcats. When I finally did see one (at 15 steps) all I could do was watch in wonder as he hunted raccons near my stand. Now I see them about every year. Yeah, I will not kill a bobcat as they are good mojo for me...

I think that is cool you show restraint and spare that deer her life...good karma
