That is what they are there for. Do you think the only reason we have birds is to give you something else to shoot at? I hunt birds and also fish. Should we kill off every seagull we see because they eat fish too? The preditors are here for a reason.

That is really cool to experience something like that. That is one of the main reasons I enjoy bowhunting. I see so many things when out in the woods. Last year, I had a sow and her 3 cubs walk by my stand at about 10 yards away. It was the first time I saw a black bear in the wild. It was really exciting. This year, I have gotten to see a couple of bobcats come passing by my area. I need to really start taking a camera with me when I am up in my stand.

I was in my stand one afternoon and heard steps in brush below, close. I slowly turned my head and looked down to see a red fox making his way under my tripod. He stopped and scratched the ground and took a wiz, covered up the spot like a cat would and made off into the thick. At first I thought Wonderful, piss smell. Then I recalled fox pee used and sold as a cover scent. Free Cover Scent!! Free is good!

Another time I was in a tree and there was a red wasp hanging around my face. I knew it was a matter of time before I started swatting at it and I had several doe in front of me at the time. Out of nowhere came this cool looking colorful little bird, shatched the wasp mid-flight and took it to a tree branch about 15 feet away and smacked it to death and ate it. Couldn't have happened at a better moment!

That is a cool story!
I was watching a red fox for a couple of days last week. The first day I seen him he walked right up to me to about 10-15 feet. That was the closest I had ever seen a fox. Anyway, he grabbed something that looked like a turd and then ran off. The next day I was hunting the end of a corn field. I sprayed some acorn cover scent and soon after three little raccoons came out of the corn and underneath the bush I was standing behind. The one raccoon stopped when it saw me and made a hissing noise. Then the third raccoon came up to 2 feet from me. I told myself if he stepped any closer he would be wearing that boot! So, the next day I'm at the opposite end of the corn field where there was a funnel between two different sections. The fox came out of one corner and went into the other corner, then a big raccoon went into that same corner and the fox came running out of there so fast. Guess he didn't want to tangle with that big ol' coon!
I love the neat things you can see while in the woods (or cornfields)...
