My hunting partner called in a really large coyote on Monday morning that tried to attack his decoys. I had some type of REALLY BIG hawk, owl or other bird take a swipe at my passive hen decoy. It happened too fast to get a good look at the perpetrator.

I've heard more stories this year of hunters seeing/calling in predators than ever before.

Is this a trend that any of you guys are seeing, or is it just coincidence??
