Cool wildlife encounter Sometimes saving an animal, feels as good as harvesting one.

Hope the lil guy makes it.

That is great! I had the chance to rescue an owl a few years ago as well. I walked around with my head & spirits high for the next two days until I got the news that it had died. They did an autopsy on it and it had internal organ failure which they theorize was due to it flying into a tree. Like deerandbearhog stated, it does feel good. Congrats on a great job & hope you got a bunch of pics for the memories.
