The last time that video was posted here many of the "hunters" on this board suddenly became tree huggers and condemned the eagle trainer to Hell.

I really don't see the big deal, it's just like falconry, except bigger prey.

I can't believe people freaked out about that, it is what the bird's natural instinct is.

At first I thought it was amazing - when I was under the impression it was a natural occurance that somebody happened to catch on tape.

But then I found out it was a trained eagle on a captive deer. I was disappointed it wasn't "real". Still impressive, just not real.

I had no idea that they could take down a deer. I was driving up on a pass in Utah once and saw one sitting on a deer just off the road. (Got a pic somewhere but it's on 35mm.)I always thought that the deer was a road kill but now I am wondering.

Thats so cool!!

The people on youtube are so dumb. This one person wrote "They can't kill deers in real nature!!"

What do you think it was doing. [&:]

That's not true. The last time a golden eagle grabbed my head in its talons they just dug into the flesh. My skull did not crack at all.

Seriously, what an amazing creature. I checked out some of the other videos and they are definitely an apex predator. Although, the one that took on the cougar didn't fare too well, but hey, it's a cougar.
