I was hunting with Glenn and his crew that morning so I called the criplets over there to let them have a look before I pulled/ran it out of the hole.
I took stick and tried to poke it from the bottom and it never would come out the top so I tried from the top down. Still nothing, so I looked again with the light and could tell it was down closer to the bottom but at this point I realized it wasn’t a squirrel. I could see talons and feathers. I had the kids step back and I got the dogs back and then I reached back in there and pulled out a screech owl. Held it in my hands for just a second and gave it a toss. It flew and landed about 20yds away and let us look at it for the longest time
This was all I could see with the flashlight
