Many years ago, I was bow hunting in Mississippi along a wooded creek. I sat in the tree perfectly camoflauged, to include a face net. The only part of my body showing was an oval shape in the face mask where my eyes were. I'm quite serious about movement when hunting, and I was just about motionless all afternoon. Around an hour before sunset, I watched a hawk silently glide through the forest over the edge of the creek. The shadows were growing long and we were both hunting; it was cool to see. That hawk pulled up on a branch around 15 yards in front of me and stared right at me for what seemed several minutes. Then, without a noise, he launched, and drove straight for my face! I couldn't believe my eyes. When he was maybe 20 feet away I raised my arms and waved him off at the last second. He banked hard left and took a perch roughly 15 yards behind and to the right of me. Then he stared at me again. I couldn't concentrate on deer hunting until he left. I never thought I'd have to worry about establishing and maintaining air superiority while bow hunting. I'm guessing the shape of my facemask, or the movement of my eyes made me look like something worth attacking.
