Yes, On Oct.6th 2010 I was bow hunting in Yale, Michigan, 16 ft. off the ground in a tree when a screech owl whacked me up side the head at dusk. It then landed in a tree just in front of me (that's how I knew it was an owl) facing me. Once I composed myself after the initial surprise, I immediately text a friend to what had just happened. As I text him, I believe the same owl struck me again in the exact same place aside my head. Luckily, I was wearing a face mask which had material covering the sides of my head. I originally thought it was a fluke that he struck me but the phone was illuminating my face when he struck me the second time. That was enough for me.
