Watching me..

This guy perched about 12 yards from me in stand last night and watched me for about 40 minutes. We've known each other for 3 years now and he gets more comfortable with me every year. Crazy how a bird this big can be absolutely silent. Neither of us got a meal last night although his odds are probably better.

 

Cool!! I had an owl land in my tree early bow season. I caught movement to my right and saw an owl headed strait for my head!!! Scared the crap out of me!! He landed on a limb behind me.

 

Sweet pics

 

Awesome pics

 

That's just awesome...

 

That is neat, but wait till it is a great horned that lands next to you. Those birds are freeking huge.

 

i think he is sizing you up. kind of like the cartoon when you look like a cooked turkey.:D

 

What a beautiful bird! We've had a turkey buzzard build a nest in our run down barn for three years in a row. Scares the crap out of you when you go in there and it takes off. Only have had one little turkey buzzard hatch so far. He was a pretty ugly little guy.

 

wow that is really cool! i have only seen one owl in person hunting before and it was great to watch it!

 

Very cool. Beautiful owl.

 

That's really cool.

 

Nice photo! Todd G got some really cool video footage of an owl this fall. I'm jealous.

Expecting my camera lens back from Nikon this week and I plan on getting out for some late season scouting/photography trips here pretty soon. Hopefully I run into some stuff worth taking photos of!

 

Very cool. Nice you got pics.

I've had the opportunity to watch hawks, owls, falcons etc every season. I think they are very cool birds.

Again, great picture.

 

That is a cool photo. Great quality.

 

Thanks guys. There's lots of little red squirrels in the ravine I hunt in and it lives in and I keep hoping I'll get to see it make a kill, but when he's around he just watches them. He's suprisingly visible during daylight hours.

 

Beautiful bird!

Things like that make special memories

 

Very cool looking owl. If I'm not mistaken, its a Barred Owl.

 

Those are cool pics... isn't it amazing how quiet they are on the wing. I've caught sight of a few owls "hunting" the area where I bowhunt, and when they fly by they are absolutel silent, it is really incredible how quiet they are.

 

i had an owl set up right above me the first night of gun season....sucker was huge..i mean big...kinda freaked me out some....because their suck big birds, and loud..but pretty cool thats for sure.

 

Very cool! I used to have a great horned owl that was a similar companion for a few years back in NY. It was always great to see him.
