Yesterday evening about an hour after sunset my wife tells me she can hear an Owl outside our house so I sneak out the garage door and stood in the shadow of the eves and for about 10 minutes I listened to 2 Great Horned Owls calling to each other, the one was about 100 yards away in the woods and the other was right next to the house.
The one that was closest was maybe 40 yards away and man was it loud.
The sound of an Owl is one of he neatest sounds in the world.

They seem to have a wider variety of call when compared to the Barred Hoot owl from what I've heard! |

The little Screech owl's call is just plain eerie. First time I heard one when I was little scared the .... out of me.

Cool experience. They have a haunting, ethereal sound, do they not?
Once I was walking to my stand in the dark when the most horrid, screeching, chattering, warbling--you name it, started overhead. A hideous din, let me tell you. It was two owls fighting, and man was it LOUD!

But I prefer the sound of a Thunder Chicken. Specially if I have been able to sneak with in 75 yards of him or so. Lol |

When I hunt and climb the tree I make a Great Horned Owl call to cover my noise. I've had them fly in on occasions. Where I live, they are plentiful and have mastered their call. My wife thinks I'm nuts. She's probably right. A pair nests about 120 yards from the house every year.

I was sitting in a stand one dead-calm morning several years ago. When it got light enough see, I turned to look over my shoulder and there was an owl perched about 5 feet away on the branch of another tree staring right at me. Once I confirmed that I had not soiled my pants, I eased my shotgun over and jabbed in the owl's direction a few times. Fortunately, it took off away from me. I had the safety off and finger on the trigger.
