Be careful, I know a guy that got flogged by one a few years back. It cut him up pretty bad. He had a mask on and I guess the owl could just see the white of his eyes and thought it was prey. Last year my best buddy had a hawk flying straight for him, in the same scenerio, and he waved his bow at him when he got about 10 yeards from him, the hawk luckily veered off course.
