Trying to escape my house last night for some beautiful evening weather, so I went down to where the Big Piney and east gate converge and started playing with my owl call ( I suck at animal calls, so I need the practice) and got to talking with a Barred Owl. What a great time it was. I live for that kind of communication with nature sometimes. It really made my night.

Barred Owls are very gregarious and seem to like being around people and can readily be called in.

40 years ago, turkey hunting was coming back in MO. I had the diaphragm calls and box calls and wing bone calls and full camo and the ten gauge. (I go a lot simpler now) So I bought this owl call. You had to blow hard just to get a little sound out of it. Paid like $3 for it at Kmart. So I am out in the woods with bugs crawling all over me and haven't heard a gobble in two days. I am going to locate with my hoot owl call. I blow in that and a gobbler blows out of the brush right in front of me. Gone. Don't know what ever happened to that call....
I can do a decent hoot with just my mouth now.
We have a tree stand with a roof over it (more like a tree house) and Barn owls are in it for the second year in a row. Raising young 'uns. Real nice except they crap all over the place and it is some caustic stuff.

Haven't seen a barn owl nor a screech owl in years and years. Lots of Barred owls and I think great horned owls though.

We haven't either so we let them nest in the deer stand.
