I know what everyone's saying about the owls. We have 2 pair on our property (Bard owls).....and every once in a while they'll get close enough for us to give 'em the once-over. I always fear for the cat when I see how BIG they are....lol.

I was walking down our driveway, last fall.....(I walk to most of my hunting areas).....and I thought I'd heard Satan himself. It was a racoon in a hollowed out tree that was ABSOLUTELY eerie sounding. My guess is he/she was as scared as I was.

I've written about this one before.....but I'll say it again. I had left work early, last year to get in the woods for a bit. I got my climber.....went over to my favorite area.....and got up in the tree. I hoisted my bow......and sat back. A feeling came over me that I'd never had. I felt like something was going to happen if I stayed in that tree. Something bad. I climbed down.....and went over to where I had a lock-on hung. I climbed up.....retrieved my bow.....and relaxed. Same feeling. Something (I felt like) was telling me that if I stayed in that tree......something very bad wasgoing to happen.

I've never had that feeling before....or since that day. I hope I never do again.It's inexplainable.
