i just so happen to have my great horned owl that nests on my place, nesting this year right off my driveway. she flys out of the nest most times i drive in but not on the way out. i dont know the reason for that but owls are owls i guess. last two years she has had one baby that made it to adulthood.
yesterday it smelled like skunk around that area so i think she may have gotten one. great horned owls are one of only a few animals that will eat a skunk. |

Its the 10 chapters on fishing that would get me to look at the book. I've finally accepted that poker info just gets lost in the empty space between my ears.

Ray,
Even though I'm an old ex-countryboy I thought skunks had no natural enemies. But then, one morning right here on edge of town, came out and big ol' owl was sitting on top of my jeep with skunk. I froze and stared at him for full 2 minutes before he took off ( flying low, heavy skunk I guess ? ) What other animals will eat a skunk ? |

the owls like the skunks as they can swoop down and get them on the back without getting sprayed themselves. although the skunk will let it go. coyotes will kill and get sprayed and eat a skunk at times. so will mountain lions.

Owls regurgitate the fur and bones of small animals that get swallowed whole.

Hey Ray, local rivers are high. Rock Ck has still been fishing, salmon flies and goldens. I stay away, crowds. The Missouri is fishing and the crowds are not there yet. I might run over again this week. Everything blown in your neck of the woods? I keep hearing good things about Lake Koocanusa. I'm going to have to fish it.

rivers are all blown now but soon to come down. lake koocanusa is loaded with water and a little late for fishing it but it always yields some good ones. best bet is feeder streams with spawing cutts, like above the hungry horse res. you can get all the 14 in plus ones you want.
