Not to sidetrack, but how often do you see an owl in real life? I hardly ever do but I actually saw one the other day on the way to work on a dirt road and I'm driving slow. I bet less than 10% have ever seen an owl in real life not at a zoo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have to consider who you are responding to before making a statement. I have bragged numerous times about how I have spent thousands of days in the wilderness. I have seen bobcats, mountain lions, wolfs, coyotes, grizzly bears, black bears, caribou, moose, elk, arctic fox, marmots, chukar, porcupines, and many other animals that normal americans have never seen in the wild. I will give you that owls are very uncommon to see. Of the animals I just listed, only about half of those I have seen more of in my life than I have seen wild owls.

And I get less witty when I have been drinking. Still to this day I suffer from insomnia the day before fishing trips and I am heading out tomorrow around noon.

It all depends on where you live although mountain lions are not common to see even if you live in a place where they exist. Porcupines are also pretty rare to see for how common they are, i have only ever seen a couple of them. Arctic fox is probably the animal i have seen in the wild that the least amount of people in the world have seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arctic fox is probably the animal i have seen in the wild that the least amount of people in the world have seen. I saw a porcupine on the slopes of Arapahoe Basin. Stupid snowboarders (is there any other type?) were pestering it. It shook off some of its quills and climbed a tree. Actually seen quite a few animals on ski slopes: a couple moose, some sort of weasel/ermine and a skunk. The latter was in the back bowls of Vail, and probably was rabid. I’ve also seen many owls, and know of a cave near my house where they nest. Always wanted to see a mountain lion or lynx. The only wild kitty I’ve encountered was a bobcat.

I saw my first ever confirmed bobcat while mountain biking in the forests around the sugar land area this last weekend. I *think* I have seen them in the past, however I got a good look at this one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will give you that owls are very uncommon to see. Of the animals I just listed, only about half of those I have seen more of in my life than I have seen wild owls. We have some owls that live in the woods near my place in MA. One of the trails that I take my dog on/go mtn biking on goes right thru those woods. I've actually seen them several times, at least. Had one time where one just sat on a branch of a tree and watched me and the dog go by, couldn't have been more than 20 yds away from us. Didn't seem to care. The thing about owls, when you see them in the wild - you don't realize how big they are. Really big bird (no pun intended). Our area is a mixture of farmland and suburbia. We have TONS of owl food running around. Rabbits, squirrels, chipmonks, muskrats, etc. We have tons of hawks too because of that. These predator birds just sit in the trees on the edges of the farmland or suburban lawns and wait for the dumb-a$$ squirrels, rabbits, etc to wander out into the open and then . . . SWOOP and it's dinner time. Seen many predator birds carry varmints away from my yard. Good riddance. The one animal I haven't seen in the wild in the northeast and it's beginning to bug me - moose. I've travelled all over the northeast, including northern Maine and into Canada. Been a northeastern skier my whole life too. Done a decent amount of hiking too. Never once saw one in the wild in the northeast. We were skiing out west a couple of years ago, Steamboat. I come down a trail near the base/bottom, I look over and there's about 4 moose just chilling right outside of some condos. But never in the northeast. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
