with his face. Honestly. I've heard of someone so ugly that their face would stop a clock. Jay's one up on them. Jay you probably want to step in and tell the story. You'll come off a lot better than if I tell it.

Rich,
If he doesn't want to, can I tell it?

Oh Geeze! OK Tim. Go for it. Let's hear your version. I'll run to the store for a 6-pack while you're typing. No references to Medusa please. [ January 23, 2004, 07:32 PM: Message edited by: Jay Nistetter ]

Jay has such a magnetic personality that everybody and everything just wants to get close to him. It seems he always has something either crawling up his back or landing on his head. That's why he has to shoot all the critters with his pistola. Too close for missiles, switchin to guns.

OK. Got a phonecall asking to tell what happened. You know how it is when you're calling and you watch a hawk land 30-40 yards away so it can look for the rabbit????
Well, I wasn't doing the calling and I was 30-40 yards away and this here BIG ol Redtail Boing 747 Hawk comes in for a landing without contacting the tower for air traffic control.
Her landing gear was down, full flaps when I turn around to see what the whooshing noise was. You'll learn why it was a "her" later.
Normally I try to never look behind me during a stand, but something seemed awfully wrong for some reason.
Anyway... I suppose that my expression indicated that this bush was already spoken for and Ms Hawk was so embarrassed that she folded her wings and briefly forgot she could fly. It's rather comical how hawks fall like a rock when the wings aren't extended.
The hard landing narrowly avoided me and the hawk bounce off the ground a solid foot and then thudded back to earth once more.
I had the camera going and did manage some footage of her getting back onto her feet, cock her head and give me this real crapola look that only a woman can give. You know the kind that says I should have known it was her bush and I sat there on purpose just to make her look foolish? I'd send a boquet of mice if I knew where to send it.
That's about it.

too funny! I hope you don't send all your woman a bouquet of mice
speaking of mice... I was as my friend's tattoo and piercing studio yesterday afternoon. He has a pet Boa. He had just put five live mice in the tank. The first time I ever saw how they strike, coil and sufficate and then swallow! The snake took down three while I was there. Awsome... never saw that before.

Wow, Jay. You might have been "this" close to a very serious violation of federal law. Not having had the pleasure of meeting you in person, I can only speak to the pics I've seen, but your story reminds me of the tale I once heard where this game warden is sitting by the side of the road one day when this Indian fella comes walking outta the woods with a half-dozen dead squirrels in his hands. The warden observes that he has no gun and wonders how he killed them. Next day, he sets up in the same place and danged if that Indian doesn't come walking out with another half-dozen dead squirrels in his hand. Since this appears to be a regular thing, the warden decides to step in and confronts the Indian, demanding to know where the Indian hid his gun.
"Don't need one," the Indian replied.
"Then how'd you kill those squirrels?"" the warden asks.
"I hid behind a tree and when the squirrel came runnin' around from the other side, I jumped out, looked him right in the eye and 'uglied him to death'," the Indian said. "Them thar squirrels turn to run away from my ugly face and run smack into the tree breakin' their neck. Used to bring the wife along, but she tends to tear 'em up too much."
I've been "swooped" a couple times this year, but I haven't had one just fold up and drop on me yet. I'd like to have seen that.

A hawk actually looked at Jay's face from nearly kissing distance and survived the shock of that much ugly? Must have been a Gosh hawk.
