....but I couldn't shoot him 'cause it was a big ol' freakin' owl! I had been playing my JS attractor and working my homespun R/C decoy. It was about 10-15 min. after sunset and just as I muted the 3rd or 4th sequence,I saw him land up in a tree a few yards behind it. So I waited another few seconds, hit cottontail distress again, flicked the decoy a few times, and he swooped right down to grab it, but aborted the mission at a range of about 2 feet. He perched up in another tree nearby and just sat there watching while I kept working it for the next few minutes or so until I finally had to pack it in and go pick up the wife. No four-legged predators for me yet, but at least I got to have the thrill of seeing that guy in action /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif.
