Hello all,
Actually y'all, I wasn't hunting like out in the woods on a hunting trip. I had a buddy that had a trailer a 1/4 mile off the road, the spot and yard was carved of the woods and his driveway was just a sandy dirt driveway out to the sho'nuff road. I was visiting, shooting a few arrows with him and told him I was going to stroll up his drive way (which was lined with scrub growth) and back and see if I could spot a rabbit or something. So I just took off walking, flip flops and all.
By the way, one moon lit night he and his wife came out on the porch to drink a cold one and enjoy the night. They let their toy poodle out to romp and roll in the sand of their parking area. And lo and behold, while they sat there watching a huge owl swooped down and took that tiny dog off. Donna was crying telling me about it a day or so later, saying she could hear the dog screaming and yelping as it flew away and up to the tree tops and off in the woods, then it sounded like or seemed to be in one spot (probably lit in a tree) and suddenly one last yelp and silence!
She was upset and all but that was the funniest thing to to picture them sitting there, smoking a joint and drinking their beer to the light of the full moon, watching that tiny poodle waller and kick around in the sand and a big owl swoop down and take off with it. I can just picture that scene! It is still funny to me!
