First of all I am not an expert as well as no bird watcher.. Nice pic by the way.. It is not uncommon to see over a hundred eagles lined up along a friend's field during times of heavey snow fall. At the same time he has to go out and shoot a turkey every once in a while to get the turkeys out of his grain silage. So explain this to me again will yah? The eagles are there to get what scraps are thrown out from his butcher shop/ slaughter house. So if eagles are so damaging why would the turkeys go across the field to get to his silos? There is no doubt in my mind that eagles will in fact take a few turkeys from time to time however. I am saying that they do not bother them that bad here!
But do take time to reconize this quote from what I stated..
So again if it is legal and you wish to shoot one like that then go for it.
Just do not blame it on other reasons.. We also have 5 eagle nests with in a 10 mile radius here.. All of which are located near water such as lakes and rivers,, Which is where the biggest food source for eagles is located at..
To save an arguement I have never claimed to be any expert on turkey hunting or any other form of hunting. I just enjoy it and get a lot of tips where ever I can. Including right here and the folks here have helped me out quite a bit. I do wish though " that I could meet up with someone that realy and truely knows it all " I should be able to get a lot of insite from that meeting..
