Golden Eagle snatches up sheep

[Big Swami]

If you talk to people in Montana and Wyoming, they hate eagles with every fiber of their being. Seems like they all have some story about a pet being carried off.

I always thought eagles were cool. Now I know they are cool. When they fly, the noise they make sounds like an orchestra playing.

I think it could be real. I saw a video where an Eagle snatched a monkey from a tree and kept flying.

It looked to me like when the Eagle took off with it, the sheep was dead. Easier to carry. And it didn't look like a full grown sheep to me.

BTW...When I saw Denny posted in this thread I thought he was going to say that was him dressed up like an Eagle on vacay.

I like to fly low, and flip that bitch.

Ha, this must now be the official "Golden Eagles are Bad Ass" thread. What was animal the eagle went after in that video?

There are bald eagles up at our lakehouse in WI, there is a nest about 100 yards away. People with smaller pets do have to be careful. I don't think anybody has outdoor cats, and people with smaller dogs can only take them out on a leash. The only pets you see running free in the yards are bigger dogs, about 60+ pounds.

The question is: where do the eagles take the pets, and what do they do with them?

Can anybody say "probe"?

I see some potential for alternative revenue sources.

Who do we send the eagle's royalty checks to?

I don't want the hassle of tracking him down for a mailing address like we had to do with Harold Reynolds and Barbaro. We still owe Keith Nichol a buttload of cash.
