Crikey! That’s one large and in charge eagle!!
eep!!!
That is incredible…
Actually, it’s more that that is a very small deer. Nonetheless, an eagle is a pretty impressive animal when seen close up. I remember once being on a logging road on the west coast and having a golden eagle take off straight up into the air from the ditch beside me, a snake of some type in its grasp. It was an incredible sight! His wingspan was easily 7’.

Nice!!! I love birds of prey!
Watch your children and dogs!
Weeks…the unlucky bit, that was before they started filming, eh?
I have to admit that those deer are smaller than what live around here. But it still surprised me to see that…
That got me looking at bird of prey footage…how about this one:

As a hunter/carnivore myself, I’m gonna side with the bird of prey everytime, but man…That is one bunny that deserves to live. 
All he needs is the futuristic sunglasses and black trench coat…
I was reading once about how hunting with raptors is really big with oil-rich Arabs. These people and their money are the cause of most of the pilfering and illegal smuggling of raptor eggs internationally. Just one more pressure on these incredible birds.

Amazing to watch. I was trying to figure out if it was a setup. Like, they release the deer when the guy with the eagle and the camera man are in position. Couldn’t say for sure. Maybe they were just lucky. The eagle wasn’t restrained when the deer shot by.
The utube stills of eagles hunting wolves in Alaska were impressive.
