Like everybody else, I hope they catch him/them and let them serve the whole sentence, no days knocked off for 1st offenders, etc. What kills me is the comments like these that people post for the whole world to see...I know it's "joking" so to speak, but a bit un-patriotic in my opinion. |

Some people have no respect for anything. Unfortunately there are people out there who use any animal as a target then discard it like it was nothing. These types give hunters and shooters a bad name.

To preserve fish stocks?
I know a man who owns a private lake and he is hell on pelicans who eat his trout. Takes them out with an AR. But I don't think even he would take out a bald eagle. Guy is also obsessed with the pairie dogs that dig their burrows in his earthen dams. |

Quoted: Would like to hear the story of this? Saw it at my taxidermist's when I was picking up my bear rug. It was a legal kill with an Indian permit. Didn't get all the details, but I guess they allot one tag every few years for tribal purposes. All I know is that even if it was dead and stuffed, it was still amazing to be able to touch its beak and talons, and just see it that close. |

I know of two men (both deceased now) that shot a bald eagle back in the 60's.
I saw a bald eagle yesterday while driving about a quarter of a mile from Buckfever34's in-law's home. What is funny is that a few hundred yards down the highway, there was an older gentleman filming these huge flocks of sandhill cranes with the largest telephoto lenses I have ever seen (think something you would see in an observatory.  ) I bet he'd have rather had photos of that eagle.

Saw on the news last night that a second Bald Eagle was shot/killed. Second one was killed within 30 miles of the first one. There is a $17,000 reward, a good portion of that from Private Citizens. |

Same kind as the person who rapes women and girls, opresses others, manipulates for greed, etc. they like to abuse their power and won't stop until there are sufficient deterents. |

I'm sure my opinion is different from most on here.
Why is an eagle different from any other buzzard? I hear guys bitch about the hell hawks and owls play on small game everywhere, an eagle is no different. In fact eagles are lazy, disgusting birds. Eagles are also very numerous now, if I want to know where a dead animal is in the woods, I don't look for crows or vultures any more, I look for eagles. I don't understand why this animal is considered threatened anymore. I understand that it is our national bird, that doesn't mean it is somehow noble, or anything other than an animal. To think otherwise is just another form of Disney-fication. Whoever shot this eagle committed a crime and I don't condone that in any form, but from some of the posts on here, you'd think they burned down the Whitehouse while raping an eight year old boy. |

I know a few old timers that do not like raptors. Reason given is usually that they are really hard on small game. I used to know a guy that raised game birds to release and hunt on his property. He didn't like anything that ate them.

The damn hawks knew the release schedule by heart and would sit in the trees around the field waiting for the dinner bell to ring. It hurts when you pay $20 for a game bird and see it become hawk bait as soon as you let it out of the crate and there is nothing you can do about it.

Whether posters here like to admit it or not, bald eagles, like other raptors, can prey upon farm animals and cause damage, too. Elmer Keith often wrote of the number of eagles he had killed, some while feeding on his livestock (mostly lambs).

The reason some people kill Bald Eagles is because if the Wildlife Commission finds out a Bald Eagle is nesting on your farm or hunting property, they will fine you if you disturb, "In any Way", the Bald Eagle, it's nest, and the land around it's nest therefore deeming your land in that area un-farmable or un-huntable. This is straight out of the mouth of a few people I have met over the years with farmland and hunting land. The Wildlife Commission will shut your land down Federally.
I have never and would never shoot a Bald Eagle as I am a proud American and I think they are beautiful birds! |

Because the bald eagle is a "Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perched on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him.
"With all this Injustice, he is never in good Case but like those among Men who live by Sharping & Robbing he is generally poor and often very lousy. Besides he is a rank Coward: The little King Bird not bigger than a Sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the District. He is therefore by no means a proper Emblem for the brave and honest Cincinnati of America who have driven all the King birds from our Country . . . " Ben Franklin in a letter to his daughter, 1/26/1784. I agree with Ben, the turkey should have been our symbol. I have never shot a raptor, but if I saw one attacking my livestock I wouldn't hesitate. |

shooting a bald eagle is like pissing on a national monument, if its not messing with you leave it alone. They closed down one of the best lakes at FT Stewart for bass fishing due to the amount of Bald Eagles there, it sucked but those animals are beautiful and the National Symbol. I havent forgot the best political cartoon with the bald eagle sharpening it claws after 9/11 saying 'its go time'.

While I would never kill an Eagle, the whole "I won't kill it if I don't eat it," argument is BS.
Do you not kill cockroaches, ants, rats, or whatever else you detest. Some shit just needs to be killed. And again just so we are clear I do not condone the killing of Eagles. |

Supposedly Bald Eagles winter in our area of Texoma, but I've never seen one. I'd have to think about it but I've had hawks and such that thought my animals were a buffet and picked them off one at a time. I might shoot let a Bald Eagle have one or maybe two, but if they made a habit of it, then yes I'd probably shoot him. You goofballs that are saying how un-American it is need a lesson in real patriotism (and need to grow your own food for a while).

Elmer Keith killed numerous eagles, mostly golden but some bald ones, too. He shot them with a rifle when he could, but he did considerable long-range handgunning practice on them, too.
