early one morning i watched an owl, dive bomb a small rabbit and fly off with it. i have also had squirrels climb down trees next to me and stretch out while thinking about jumping on me. which is kinda eerie because you know, once they jump on you and figure out what you are, it's gonna be like juglle'n a miniature chainsaw....lol.

i also forgot my small flashlight that clips to my hat one time at the house, so i had to use my large mag-light that i keep in my truck. anyway, while in my tree i dropped my mag-light on the ground approximately 30 minutes before dark. right before dark i looked down at my flashlight and saw a 5 foot water moccasin curled around it (unknown if it was trying to mate with it or use it to keep warm). it turned dark on me while watching the snake, so when i climbed down t got about 6 feet off the ground and jumped as far as i could from the tree....lol.....i got my flashlight the next morning.
