I was gifted a Mad Bomber hat a few years ago .
It's light tan with tan-brown rabbit fur .
That is very comfortable and I wear it quite often while bow hunting .
Now I'm not a tree hunter but about two years ago I was in a ladder stand with my ghillie suit on but I didn't have my head cover on over the hat because I was getting very warm .
Had been very quiet with hardly any small animal activity .
I was turned slightly to my right with my head looking around the tree , when I slowly turned my head back front , and
jumpin' gehosaphat !!!!
A Cooper Hawk flaired up just about a foot in front of my face and flew off .
:eek:
That was more excitement than I was wanting to have being 18' up in a ladder stand .
I figured it thought that the fur on my hat was dinner .
