We went out to the Eastern shore of MD for some sick hunting this past weekend. Saw some flocks as the sun came up and dropped a few. Within 2 minutes of the first ducks hitting the water a few eagles show up and start plucking our ducks out of the water. It was so cold, the guide couldn't get the boat started.
 The guide said it was the first time he ever witnessed this. Anyone else ever experience this?  Attached File Attached FileMan, every other pic is too big to upload... we have to update this. |

We used to have to race the boat out fast after a flock came in and we dropped a bunch of Eiders. The seals would steel them fast.
While fishing in Alaska the Bald Eagles would follow us around all day. If we caught a junk fish we would crack it on the head to stun it and the eagles would swoop in fast before any other could get it. Was breathtaking to watch. EIDERS:  Attached File |

I’ve lost numerous ducks to Eagles over the years. I lost one to a black bear a while back. The cost of doing business in Alaska

I've had eagles steal my ducks. I've also had eagles swoop down low over my decoys to try and scare them up. Maybe 15 yards from me.

The hardest part was explaining it to my wife who was waiting for duck to cook. "No, I swear, the eagles were stealing everything." Hahaha

Eagles have been known to steal a salmon and spool your reel along MI rivers

Yes. I’ve seen eagles take out live snow geese mid air, and then proceed to eat them alive.

Snow goose hunting at Squaw Creek, MO. the eagles would come in every morning at the first salvo of shots.
They roost on high tension line about a quarter mile away, and wait for cripples. It was a race on the 4 wheeler to get any that sailed off. |
