Pretty rare find this morning out hunting

Found this bald eagle with a fawn latched into its talons. I called the warden right away and they come and took possession of it. I posted pics on my FB page and have already done an interview with Outdoor Life magazine and a radio show along with the local paper wanting to publish the story.

Here I thought the gobbler I shot this morning would be the highlight of my day. Lol!!







Oh and what I thought my highlight of the day was going to be. Lol!!

Congrats on your bird! i would also like to know what killed the eagle, were his talons stuck in the doe?

That is unreal!

Any power lines around?  I just do not see what could have happened to it unless it was electricity

My guess would be a disgruntled hunter saw the eagle with the fawn & killed the eagle.

That would not be a hunter, that would be a poaching scumbag.
