Owl looking for dinner

Ohhhhhh, So close!!! Pretty cool too. 

 Nice, love owls, they are so quiet a fly by is suprising. 

wow them are quick in and out , Hey glem here I joined a gun club to shoot my powder burners and they stock pheasents for hunting , and the people there say them OWLS eat about half of what they put out , I got one in my yard I saw him take a rabbit I had in my thermal when I was looking across my yard

Owls are really cool people! Long, long ago I was bowhunting in the afternoon, and it was starting to get dark. I was standing in my treestand watching 2 does feed their way to me on the acorns, hoping a buck would join them. I wasn't interested in taking a doe, and was only interested in a trophy buck at the time, so I was just watching them quietly from 20' above. Out of the corner of my left eye, my peripheral vision picked up motion coming towards me. Luckily, I turned my head enough to see what it was, and it was a very large owl making his run on me in my treestand. When he saw my head turn, he veered off to his right, missing me by about 3-5 feet. Needless to say, he had scared the crap out of me! As large as he was, if he'd hit me, he'd have done some damage and possibly knocked me out of my stand, where I'd have been hanging by my safety harness. That would have been very bad to say the least, as I was hunting alone and not a soul knew where I was.

That is a cool video you got, thanks.

yes ive had hawks and owls attack me too... while out bow hunting... its truly nerve wrecking.. sharp claws and beaks they have

Man that was incredible and on video! What a cool experience... thanks!

lol, that was funny. obviously the owl wasn't harmed.

Awesome video, and thanks for sharing. Recently i was hunting racoons at night, and using a green led light on top of my Hawke Sidewinder. During a scan, I noticed some eye shine near the limit of my light's range. I thought it was a rabbit or rat at first, but the way the eyes moved reminded me of an owl. I zoomed out just in time to see it fly off back to the trees. Your experience is exactly the kind of thing that makes hunting so much fun.

Super cool, love these birds. Except for when they try to fly out in front of my car!

That is an amazing video! So cool.

Great vid thanks for sharing!

Wow, amazing Capture. 

That was awesome. I wonder if it is a barn owl. 

Years ago on an early morning deer hunt and before sunrise I pulled out my dying rabbit call and blew it a couple of times to see if I could pull in a coyote. I was in my cammies and very still, just listening and suddenly there was a whoshing sound and the top of my head was just brushed, just touched. I guess he figured out I was not a rabbit at the last second. I was impressed. Owls are the original stealth bomber.

That was close Glem. Nice video. I was hunting with monkeyshine last year in a long ravine and we got buzzed by a HUGE owl. Never even heard him. Scared the crap out of me. Hopefully you shot some rats to feed him. 

That is a cool video.. crazy timing

Amazing Video!
