Watching other critters while hunting is part of the experience. I had a Deer Mouse scamper over the toe of my boot while I was sitting back to a tree. There was a faint whoosh and a Great Horned Owl landed on a low tree branch about 10 ft away. It left when I looked at it. Lucky mouse.
A former colleague and his brothers were on an annual Thanksgiving hunt in the UP. The standing rib roast left in a cooler was a pass after a least weasel wormed it's way into the cooler through the open drain hole....consumed part of the roast and thoroughly fouled the remainder.
