I do not find a thrill in killing- there is far too much more out there to experience. Our set up yesterday morning turned out to be underneath a Wood Duck nest. That was a thrill I have never experienced before. The mating pair each came and went twice. Never flying directly to the nest but leap frogging in two or three trees out from the nest each time. I have several screech owl trees mentally marked, but this was the first woody that I have seen off the pond and nexting boxes.

PLease don't let me get this off topic....
