Thats no lie. I was duck hunting a couple years back and had an owl swoop down and almost take the hat off my head. It almost gave me a heart attack. Absolutely no noise and that fawker was within arms reach before I saw him out of the corner of my eye. Luckily he decided I wasn't edible cause he'd have probably taken some scalp along with the hat.
