Owl dodging
« on: September 09, 2023, 09:00:00 PM »
Two years in row now I have climbed into the bow stand and had a buck come in roughly an hour before sunrise and bed down within 10 yards. Two years in a row that buck has been followed in by a an owl who spends the next 20 minutes harassing me… today actually clipping my arm! Am I the only one on the west side who seems to be getting hunted while hunting?

I would schedule a visit with the doctor for a full work-up, drive the speed limit and use a hand rail when walking down the stairs.  I would stay out of those woods.

Sounds like a curse to me. Have you upset any hags lately?
What country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.
