I really enjoyed your video of the Great Grey Owls. I also totally agree with you that one should never bait animals or birds for photography (or hunting) purposes, just in order to get a quick image. Your images of the owls in their natural habitat, in winter, were superb - beautiful compositions and pin sharp. Truly outstanding - well done Gerrit! Alun

Very nice, wish I was with you on that one. Great job.

Very nice video Gerrit, I also refuse to participate in baiting of any animals. I also refuse to use calls, these birds have a difficult time in winter and need their energy to hunt and forage, not come to useless calls just so we can get an image.

Gerrit, I just ran across your channel and very much enjoyed the video of the great greys. Truthfully, I subscribed to your channel after hearing your comments regarding how some are so disrespectful of the animals they shoot. Thanks for both taking and sharing that point of view we us.

Amazing video! I’m an Oregon shooter too, and haven’t figured out exactly where in the cascades you’re shooting. I’d imagine central Oregon?
