I had a big a$$ owl land right beside me in a treestand right at dark. I mean, this dude was like 2ft tall or something. I looked him right in his yellow eyes. he was in the limb about 1ft from my face. I bout fell out of my stand. Heck, i had to end my hunt about 10 minutes early just to make that dang owl fly. he bout scared me to death, i dont know why, but im scared of owls.
