I saw a pack of Coyotes run under my stand up to the corn field above and start calling. Suddenly an owl flew through the valley and began to call. Then many other owls begans calling back. One by one, from across many valleys.

The mixture of coyote howling and owl calling was enough to send shivers up my back and make my hands tremble.

I was supposed to get out of my deer stand and walk back to the cabin in the dark. It is a long walk. I was scared to death.
