That's awesome. I bet that was cool. You never know what you will see during a morning of waterfowling.......

I had a hawk swoop down and miss one of my decoys by inches before the split. I saw him drop down and it was really cool to watch.

I had a falcon grab a teal in midflight 2 years ago, that was incredible.

It was neat to see and watching that owl sitting in the tree with the very recognizable puzzled look on its face was priceless.
Shoot em in the lips!!!

When I used to hunt in Oregon, I lost some ducks to eagles. Sometimes after the shooting stopped there would be a dead bird 75-100 yards from the blind on the ice. The bald eagles would land next to the duck and start eating it. When the dog would go towards the bird, the eagle would fly off with the duck

I have had a hawk hit my decoys twice in one morning. Scared me both times! Sounded like a gun going off.
