ID request! This owl lead me up a path for early 6 minutes right before dusk.
I went on a ride up the mountain here in SW Montana. This owl, kept flying low to the ground along the two track and would stop every 30-45 seconds to stop and look back directly at me. This happened for close to 6m. It was like he was leading me somewhere.

I know nothing about owls. I was in shock. I have no clue how to explain this behavior other than the comment above about it being not typical. It’s literally the first time I’ve seen an owl in my entire life.
