Owl & the Full Moon

[@MrGhostwolf999]

WOW! Amzing shot of a gorgeous bird! Please keep these type of vids coming.

[@wawhiker]

Those shots - the moon, the owl - and the sounds, were unbelievable! Mother Nature awarded you for your patience with a well deserved glimpse of awesomeness. So incredible!

[@Patriot36]

So glad you enjoyed it Waw Hiker. Hopefully it felt like you were along for the walk! Yeah, it was a really nice reward and I'm still dumbfounded that it actually all came together. Thanks, my friend!

[@dcrickerson9775]

Totally awesome my friend! Great job ! You live in such a beautiful place. I have been to Arizona a few times, I love it. Thanks for sharing, best wishes to you.

[@Patriot36]

Thanks a whole bunch for sharing in the excitement with me DC. It really is a great place, especially if you're not here in July, Aug, Sept. I usually try to stay away from the 'hate' word but those are a few months that I never look forward too.

[@ds10363]

That was incredible footage! A once in a lifetime experience for sure. What a treat to capture that.

[@Patriot36]

No doubt DZ! Hey.... I kinda like that actually. From now on you're DZ, bro! :) Not sure why it never came to me before. ...and yes, it was a ridiculous treat for sure. Thanks buddy.

[@LELDocSavage]

Great Shot Patriot. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@Patriot36]

Thanks Larry! Love to hear from ya man!

[@CampfireTalk]

This brings back memories of how I discovered your channel. Crocket told me to about your "Born Free" series when you documented some baby Redtail & I've been hooked ever since. Great shot and it worked out just in time. I could tell you were almost in disbelief as it was unfolding. Good stuff brother!

[@Patriot36]

I forgot about that story actually. It's crazy to think about now because we've become such good pals. I think my excitement leaked out when I first had the owl and the moon framed and the owl turned and looked my way. I was lost for anything to say so some kind of weird expression came out...lol.

[@OntheTrailwithDale]

Owls are pretty impressive. I was out early checking my trapline recently and had a horned owl like that swoop down about 30 - 40 feet in front me, wish I knew he was there, I would've had my camera running. Cool footage, man thanks for sharing!!

[@Patriot36]

Oh man, sounds pretty awesome! Hey, at least you got to see it in person and now you'll always remember that short film in your mind! Thanks for sharing than man.

[@1118saori]

I cannot believe this movie. I had never seen an owl in Japan. I felt really magical. Thank you for sharing 🦉🦉

[@venuslnd]

beautiful... Thanks for sharing enjoy it a lot.

[@cadrician]

That was awesome! You probably felt like a school girl down to your pants. Sometimes work pay's off, great job again Patriot!!!

[@Patriot36]

Brother, can you believe it!? There's no way that should have paid off but it did. I'm not even sure where the wherewithal came from to think... "Moon" + "Owl" "hey, I know...." Thanks for everything buddy.

[@superspra1]

Nice work P36. Impressive creatures owls are that's for sure. Thanks for sharing that encounter you were blessed with.

[@ScoutCrafter]

What a fantastic shot! Thanks for sharing!

[@Patriot36]

ScoutCrafter Thanks Scout! I really appreciate that man! Thank you for watching!

[@Charger8921]

DAMN NICE CLAYMORE DUDE!! That would be some awesome four wheeler riding area. Great videography. Has anyone ever told you you look like James Hettfield? 'Cause you do.

[@Patriot36]

Thanks Charger. It's a Spanish Marto that I've had for 15+ years now. I'm not a collector but it's fun to keep. People always want to pick it up which I welcome them to do! Yeah, a couple people have told me that now but only on youtube, never in person.

[@Cr0cket20]

Didn't know you had those. I bet those are a riot to shot. Loved when the ravens flew over head. Could actually hear the wings. Oh you're kidding...those shots with the owl and the moon were phenomenal!

[@Patriot36]

Yeah, I've got quite a collection of old military arms. I feel like there's so many videos to make and not enough time to make them. You've probably said that yourself many times, right! When I was younger I didn't appreciate Ravens that much but in the last 10 years or so, I've become astonished by their intelligence, and social and flying skills. LOL... that's how I felt about the owl footage when I was taking it! I keep looking at the camera, thinking... "you better be recording this, camera!

[@WanderingBeast]

SO cool, your hard work paid off

[@S30Uploads]

i bet the feeling you get is the same as finding a big ol chunk of gold

[@astrowoodzzz2242]

Beautiful long eared owl

[@05generic]

Great video. Nothing quite like a majestic great horned owl against the moon. Now if you catch him silently gliding in on prey.

[@Patriot36]

Thanks Generic! Yeah, I'm with you man. It was quite an experience and I'm so thankful that I got to share it with you guys. I have a video of an GHO descending to grab an animal of some type but it was obscured by the ground brush and I never saw what it caught. I think it was either the Wilderness Owl Adventure Part 1 or the video that preceded it, before I made a series out of it. I just can't remember.

[@05generic]

Patriot36 I'll have a look.

[@GTC1967]

Cool video! With a tripod and a good piece of glass you would have made a world class still photo.

[@LogicBob]

Wow! Awesome shot man! Thanks for sharing!

[@Patriot36]

Sure thing man! Thanks for watching Bob!

[@daveinohio9383]

OUTSTANDING !!!!!!

[@MrLNielsen]

Awesome stock, great shot!

[@Patriot36]

Thanks LLoyd!

[@ToddfromCalifornia]

Very cool !!! good job.

[@RichAllfieldnohit]

Very cool as always. That Claymore is cool too. Any chance of a vid on that?

[@Patriot36]

Thanks Rich! Oh, yeah... that's a Spanish Made Marto. I'm not a collector or anything but I purchased that sword online many years ago! Like... 16-18, I think. I might be able to show a 20-30 sec piece on it in a future vid for you. Sort of like a request, I guess. Thanks for watching buddy.

[@terratec1001]

3:08 - I love owls and what a magnificent looking owl right there. It looks like an eagle owl / horned owl? - maybe someone knows for sure. We get barn owls flying over the fields near to where I live.

[@Patriot36]

Yep, exactly... Horned Owl. The horns or feather tuffs are really visible at the end with the backlighting. Also, if you enjoyed that one, check out the Wilderness Owl Adventure Series I did which is several years old now. The video footage is crisp as anything I've ever filmed.

[@cjorgie1]

Hey Patriot...where have you been buddy? I enjoy your videos..especially the gun and AZ outdoor ones. It's probably getting a little hot to be running around outside. Do you ever shoot at Arizona rod and gun club?? Hope to see some videos soon

[@TheMrsKKB]

Just amazing !!

[@Patriot36]

The Mrs. KKB I agree Mrs.KKB and I'll add the word, ....amazing "LUCK" :) Thanks for the comments!

[@cutlerylover]

amazing shot man!

[@Patriot36]

Thanks Jeff! I suppose that's a once in a lifetime thing. As it was happening, I was almost in disbelief.

[@filips1218]

great pictures.

[@Patriot36]

filip s Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment filips!

[@Smegger]

Great shot man , did you use a tripod or all freehand must be a good camera I tried a moon shot last month and it looked like my 2 year old was filming it Haha .

[@Tellyfive]

Your vids are aleays great. Wish you made more.

[@Patriot36]

Well thanks so much neno! Even though this is just one comment, it's important to me and I'll really try get more vids up. I'd like to do one every week but it never seems to work.

[@josephprophecy5291]

That was pretty neat right there. Are snakes a problem when you go walking through there? It just seems like a place where a person would really have to watch their step.

[@victornekrasov1510]

Beautiful shot, worthy of NatGeo or Discovery Channel

[@aintgonnaworrynomore]

Very impressive. Who would have thought you could catch a Great Horned Owl backlight by the moon?

[@Patriot36]

Thanks man! Yeah, exactly! It never should have worked but it did.

[@ZombieSC]

Money shot! Thanks Patriot!

[@Patriot36]

G to the C! Thank YOU buddy! It always feels funny when you guys are thanking me because I feel that I owe you the thanks. The idea that you come here to see these videos truly humbles me. Sitting wondering how to say thank you in some unique and different way....

[@martinzshow4361]

6:20 wow. I just picked up a dead one from the road in good condition yesterday and gave it to the hunter who makes stuffed. What camera did you use?

[@crawwwfishh3284]

Perfect.

[@JimmyGunXD556]

That was awesome!

[@Patriot36]

Thanks JimmyGun!

[@michaelsticksdelaughter]

The Moon is still my friend

[@Cands528]

Way cool. You are one lucky dude.

[@Patriot36]

Dude! No kidding! I'm still trying to figure out how the heck that worked...lol.

[@plutoplatters]

quite nice... great place

[@Patriot36]

THanks pluto. Good to see you in the comments buddy!

[@cryptomnesiac]

[@MrPhantomFury]
