He’s not exactly one of those Alaska frontier mountain men that are featured on the History and Discovery channels. But after some initial squealing, screaming and running this fine example of masculinity shoos the scary bird out of his home. 😃😃

Best laugh I’ve had all week.

I was impressed how gentle he was with the owl. Didn’t ruffle a single feather. 😉

Jesus God! I fully expected him to turn into The Hulk!

Wasn’t there a similarly masculine specimen named Colton on _Survivor_ not too long ago?

Same guy?
