[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1986265, member: 91783"] I enjoy it when I'm calling to have birds of prey or scavenger birds come in . It verifies that my sounds are the right ones to bring in the four legged ones . I can be set up in the rocks, by some trees or brush and have them come in to see who they are going to dine on . The magpies or crows will tell every one around that there is a meal about to take place screaming and flitting around . The hawks , eagles and buzzards are kind of interesting to watch they land near by and set there looking you over and you can see that if they could they would be drooling all over themselves just thinking about that fresh rabbit or fawn and maybe what ever it is that's causing it to scream . So here I am laying down in the grass on a nice sunny morning facing down a draw at about 7500 feet above sea level . We don't get any dew most of the time as our humidity is in the low double digits so the grass is dry but green and maybe 5 " tall . I've been using a fawn blat and have a coyote coming in at about 400 yards . I'm locked onto it and following it in my scope . my concentration is focused nearly completely on it when all of the sudden from behind me something swoops down 5 or 6 " above my head and lands inches in front of my face . There was nearly a code brown accident and run away . It's a large barred owl they don't make any sounds when they fly and I don't know where it came from . I don't know where the coyote went either it only took me a few minutes to get myself composed well maybe half an hour or so then there were the adrenaline shakes an hour or so latter . The rest of that morning was a wash I was done with that kind of thing and calling for the day I can only take so much excitement at one time before I'm over it and have had enough fun for now .
