Tom2008 Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 That is insane! I wonder if it was just the young bird's inexperience as to why it went after the deer. I've never heard of eagles going after such large prey. This could also be a sign of desperate times too I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Google up bird vs deer video. A lot of eagle hunting deer in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2008 Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Google up bird vs deer video. A lot of eagle hunting deer in there. The only one I keep seeing is the golden eagle taking out the little deer. I think that video came from Europe. I believe the species of the deer was Roe Deer and they only get to 40 to 60 lbs or so.

Tom2008 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I've seen those wolf hunting Golden Eagles. That happens in Mongolia. I know a family that has ancestors that used to hunt just like that. Really cool stuff. Thanks for sharing those. I'm not the best at searchin.

JackedUpZ71 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Guess the eagle economy is in a slump too if he's having to work that hard to put food on the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
