Great owl while in stand

[Hooliganz]

While in my deer stand opening morning I had a great owl land in a tree next to me, pretty cool. was only about 6 feet away, we had a stare down for about 5 minutes then he took off to the next tree and i was able to get a picture. Can you see his eyes flash was on by accident, probably why didnt see deer lol. [image][/image]

Hey Hooliganz:

Welcome to FM, great to have you here!

By pulling it up in Photoshop, lightening it and zooming in, a person can see ear tufts that don't appear in the original. So that, plus its size, make it a great horned owl.

ok, thanks for pointing that out that is horned owl, I didnt notice that. ya was hunting in the Aitkin area. Its always cool to see other wildlife while sitting in the stand for deer.
