The ultimate fisherman

You don't have to go far to see the wild life. Opened .y back door and watched a red tail hawk take a squirrel off my bird feeder. A week later a sharp shin hawk took a dove we do see a lot of eagles around Conowingo dam in MD. They feed off the fish that go through the generators when they're making power.

We use to see one behind our house occasionally. They field is not being developed into a housing addition. Needless to say no more Eagles. I fish at Driftwood in southern Johnson County and occasionally see one there. Always makes my day to catch the glimpse of one

Love seeing them and occasionally see them right off of my front porch. I sit on the swing with my coffee and they land in the trees at the bottom of my yard

I was at Keuka Lake, right at the bluff, taking a Livingston Lures Walking Boss II through the water, I caught this huge leg in the corner of my eye. It was a huge bald eagle that had decided against taking my lure. I can not tell you how many gulls I have caught on that lure over the years, but the eagle was by far, the most intelligent. The bird just sat in a tree and watched for a very long time.

Bald Eagles are about as common as seagulls around here toward the end of the salmon run. It is common to count 20 or 30 from the same location at a given time. They were even thicker in Petersburg Alaska. Yet I still get a good feeling every time I see one. As for fishing, they are fun to watch, but I think osprey are more spectacular fishermen. At any rate, if you are lucky enough to have good wild life viewing, don't take it for granted. It could be gone before you know it. Nature is constantly changing and those changes are accelerated by man.

I guess the next best thing I’ve seen is an Owl scooping up a rabbit after a short chase. I was in my ground stand Deer hunting and the Owl landed on top of it, right next to me. Scared the crap outta me. Those wings are huge. Then it took off and nailed that cottontail. The rabbit screamed like a banshee.

Owls can be fascinating and scary at the same time. When I was younger, I was driving my '62 bug at dusk, when my windshield shattered. When I stopped and cleared the glass out of my face, I realized there was a huge owl on my hood. It was staring at me as if to say "you're not a mouse". It shook it's whole body, spread it's wings, and took off. When it spread it's wings, the span was wider than my car.

There is a pair at Glendale Lake. Southwest of State College. Anyone fish there?

Pixie, I’ve got an old Remington model 788 in that same caliber. Not a real good looking rifle but quite accurate and was deadly on groundhogs.

kind of disagree with "ultimate" . I watch Ospreys up here. Not only are they great fishers , I have seen them catch a fish , go up about 300' then throw it to their mate and go back to fishing. I need to get a go pro and have it on all the time so I can capture this stuff.

BK - I have that Rem 788.
It is the same barrel as the 700adl & 700bdl. Just a plain stock and barrel finish. I can shoot one hole all day long.

I could make a single hole of a 30 cal. Not just multiple holes connected.
6-18x Redfield, Harris Bipod in front and a custom jack screw in front of butt plate.

All of those are awesome predators, but my vote for the best fisherman goes to the herons and egrets. The stalking, patience and lightning speed of the strike are beautiful to see.
