I went hunting this evening on a small oak ridge. The acorns have fell out but it has a lot of Honeysuckle on it which is good winter time hunting.
 I hung an old Warren Sweat loc-on in a tree at the beginning of the season and had to go sit it at least once. As I was slipping up to the stand something caught me eye and I looked up and there was a hunter already in my tree.



 Look close and you can see the loc-on on the right of the tree and the "hunter" higher on the left.
 I climbed anyway after running the fella off. He came back a few minutes later for a snapshot then left again. I did`nt kill anything..don`t know about him.RC

And that kind of thing is just one more reason I always carry my little Kimber Ultra Raptor.

You know, RC, if it's public property, first come, first served (even if it's an owl)!!!

A great and normally unseen hunter. Worthy of admiration. We we chukar hunting earlier this month and came up a draw with two dwarfed trees. Three were huddled there.  We walked around them.  Not another tree for miles up in the high desert

In many Native American cultures the owl is the messenger of bad news. I hope all is well.

Not worried much about bad news. My Faith is in Jesus not Owls. But I do enjoy watching them.RC
