This year while bow hunting in the ground blind, had a small 3 by 3 buck standing by the pile,
a small owl either a short ear or long ear was cruising around.
watched the owl swoop down right towards the bucks face and bank upward about a foot in front of it, startled the hell out of the deer. the owl then hard banked and came straight towards me in the ground blind, and did the same thing, and banked straight up at the blind and literally bounced off the front top face of the blind, i swear he was coming into the blind with me, after that he made a loop back towards the buck who was watching him the whole time now and flew next to the buck and landed directly on top of my trail cam post.
pretty sure that owl ratted my position out to the buck, damn wild critters are working together... haha
