any body ever been attacked by owl

[BMOELLER]

I've had that happen often when predator calling.  Hawks will hover above you and then dive in.  Had an owl coming in staight to the face and had to wave my arms to scare him off.

Years ago, I was on a tree stand, camo bow, camo shafts, camo me and a bright shiney broadhead. I fell asleep (come on it happens). I woke up with the feeling something was watching me. I looked up just in time to see an owl launch silently off a limb about 40 yds away. He was locked in on that shiney broadhead. I waved him off just before he hit it. I can not imagine the mess if he had hit that broadhead while I was asleep.

A couple years ago I was sitting beneath a tree in the pre-morning darkness. On my way in I heard a barred owl hooting. Continued to hoot while I sat down then all was quiet.

Some time goes by and I couldn't see much if anything when all of a sudden I sense/see a shadow in front of me coming fast. I raise my hands up and hear the swoosh of his wings.

Scared the heck out of me. I had a full facemask on and wasn't moving anything but my eyes as I listened to the night sounds. Only thing I can think of is he saw my eyes bouncing around and figured they were a little critter.

I shudder to think what would've happened had he connected.

I was using a metal detector right at dusk and wearing headphones and an owl hit me in the back of the head.  Knocked me off my feet.

This year on a morning hunt, after day light I had a small hawk try to attack me 5 different times that morning in a tree stand. I finaly got down and moved, and the hawk did not bother me. I told my son of the experience and he told me he was attacked in the similar area 2 weeks previous. No fur hat or anything in fact it was youth hunt in Wisconsin so all bowhunters had to wear orange on the upper half of body -- strange any one else attaked by hawks?Thanks Jerry
