RE: Things you have seen while on stand
Last year while bow hunting I had four squirels running around my stand making all kinds of racket chasing each other and ruining any chance I had of hearing a deer and while I watching them a owl or a big hawk (it happened so fast I couldn't tell) swooped down from a tree nearby and took one of the squirels with it. Needless to say I didn't hear another one the rest of the morning!
