I was about 25 feet up a large white oak late one evening it was a very quite and still evening. A flying squirrel landed on the truck of the tree about 6 incest from my right ear. I didn't hear it coming and I almost jumped out of the stand.
Had a hawk land in a tree about 60 yards from the tree I was in one day and it started looking right at me. He watched me for probably 2 minutes then left the limb flying right at me. At first I thought if was pretty cool but when got to about 15 feet I jumped and raised my bow in front of my face. When I did that he almost did a complete flip in mid air trying to get away from there. After things settled down, meaning me, I was wondering what he was doing. I was holding my bow upright in front of me when I noticed the puffs I had on my sting as silencers was moving in the wind, it would have looked just like a furry little critter to the hawk. From 60 yards that's pretty good eyes.
