I had the same experience, only the owl won. During balckpowder season this year, a squirrel came up a tree, next to my window while I was in my tower stand. We were staring at each other for about 45 seconds, when out of nowhere, a hugh barn owl came down and grabbed the little furry critter off the side of the tree. One second he was looking at me with those pretty black eyes and the next, was dinner for the owl.
This brought a good lesson to me. Watch what your doing, stay focused on what your doing, don`t take nothing for granted, and just when you think you can relaxe, some body will sneak up behind you and knock the crap right out of you. :-D
