Can You Predict How the Story Ends in This Stunning Photo?

This photo shows what looks like the beginning of a sad ending for a young doe, but would you believe that the golden eagle was the one left disappointed?
(Photo: Milan Krasula/Solent News & Photo Agency via The Telegraph)
The Telegraph reports that Milan Krasula, who snapped the exchange between eagle and doe, said the doe narrowly escaped by scurrying under a fence. According to the Telegraph, Krasula had been holding out for a good photograph at the annual eagle hunt for four days before he captured this one:
He said: “You have to be very lucky to get a good shot, as you cannot predict where the prey will be hiding.
“I found an area that I thought it would be good for a photo and where some smaller animals might be hiding.
“I was waiting there around an hour or so, when all of a sudden there was a young little doe running out from the forest.
“One keeper then released his eagle, who was about 200 metres away from me.
“He did not see the little doe running and had actually released the eagle to get another animal.
“Of course, the eagle went for the doe instead of the other prey.”
After the doe slipped under a fence, The Telegraph reports, it scampered into the woods and the eagle abandoned the chase and returned to its owner. Krasula is reported being happy the doe got away.
BBC reported earlier this month that the annual eagle hunt held in Kazakhstan is an ancient tradition conducted in modern times to help preserve the saker falcon population. BBC reports that the hunt is entertainment for the wealthy and revenue helps them breed more saker falcons which are dropping in numbers.

Your incorrect in your assumption.
Regardless of it’s wingspan, an eagle of any size is going to have a hard time picking up something that is more than 3/4 of it’s own weight….
A Golden Eagle that weighs 25-30 pounds (and that’s a big bird for this species) isn’t going to lift off with anything that weights 100 pounds at the very least….
It would kill, eat, and leave something this size…
The idea that a bird could fly off with 4-6x it’s own body weight is laughable…most military transports aircraft can’t even do that….

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 12:19amAt Eagle2715 – of course an eagle is not going to carry off a full grown deer, but I didn’t see anyone imply such. I live in WY & it is NOT uncommon to see Bald or Golden Eagles pick up fawns. I’ve watched it happen myself while deer hunting. I also had a Bald Eagle attempt to take my dog, a medium sized Blue Heeler. We have a pair of them that nest in our fence line in a large half-dead cottonwood every year. I just took pictures of them together the other night.

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 1:30amThose of you who think this is sick, I wonder, are you vegetarians? Do you hunt? This is a noble sport and the bond between bird and keeper is one of the most strongly felt in all the animal kingdom. The keeper lets the bird free. If the bird wanted to it could fly away. Instead these magnificent creatures that could go where ever they desire return to the keeper. They live a life of luxury and are lauded long after their deaths. Would that we should all be so lucky as to know this kind of kinship with a wild thing.

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 1:30amfirst of all, as a trained hunter, I would say that deer weighs in at about 30 lbs. It’s laughable to think that it weighs upwards of 100 lbs.
Report Post »Secondly, to the original poster… you think this bird was hungry? You think this bird was poor at fishing and hunting? I think you did not read the story, just posted your ignorant response based solely on the picture. Please take the time to read next time before posting your thoughts.
Thirdly. Animals have been used in hunting for thousands of years. Does the thought of using a labrador retriever to hunt ducks and game birds also make you people sick? The art of Falconing has been around for a very long time, and if you read the article, you would find that the people who carry on this ancient tradition in modern times is HELPING the birds out. Some of you people make me sick.

Good for you for living in WY bud, I live in MT and have seen the same thing….Well I’ve seen birds of prey attack all sorts of critters, not fly off with them….You can say it ‘tried to take’ all you want….it’s not going to fly off with anything that weighs more than it does…If your dog is about 20 pounds…then yeah it’ll probably fly off with it…if not…it‘ll pick at it till it’s full…

I agree with most of what you said, especially about the need to read the article before posting…like the part were they say they use this event to help save more of an endangered raptor…
However
“…as a trained hunter, I would say that deer weighs in at about 30 lbs.”
Gotta look a little closer man. The deer is on the small side, but that bird has at least a 6 ft wing span and is probably about 2.5 feet long…not to mention it weighs at least 25 pounds….and the deer is bigger, doesn’t have hollow bones, and has lot more guts and muscle….
But for the sake of argument, even it is 30 pounds…that bird isn‘t flying with it unless it’s a record sized golden eagle….as the biggest ones rarely reach 30 pounds…

Alright man, this might sound like splitting hairs, but that bird didn‘t’ ‘fly’ away with it…
It’ grabbed it and glided down into a cannon…it never flapped it’s wings or tried to fly away…
I guess it depends on what you think the definition of fly is, but it didn’t grab it and pick it up and fly away….it basically just parachuted to the ground….And unless this deer was near a cliff, it wasn’t gonna go anywhere with it…

Taking dogs and training them to hunt is okay?
BUT, taking a eagle or a hawk and training it to RETURN AFTER HUNTING is NOT okay?
(Their NATURAL instinct is to hunt – they are TRAINED to RETURN.)
You may want to rethink that logic some.
They are ALL okay! That is the answer!
Genesis 1:26, “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

I have seen eagles “fly away” as in your definition. Granted it is not the eagles seen in this story. While in Scotland, on the Isle of Mull I witnessed a sea eagle (very close in size to the eagle seen in the story) pick up and “fly away” with a sheep. A sheep. Not sure on the weight of the sheep, but it looked to be at least double the size of the bird.
Other kinds of eagles around the world have been able to pick up and “fly away” with prey weighing up to 20 lbs. I am not too familiar with the sizes and weights of deer, but the one in the story looks a bit more than 20 lbs.

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 6:13pmThere’s a lot of nonsense in these comments. Really, people, do a little research.
The largest race of Golden Eagles has a wingspan up to 7 1/2 feet and weight that maxes out at 15 lbs.
The eagle with largest wingspan is the Stellar’s Sea Eagle with a wingspan up to 8 1/2 feet and a body weight up to 20 lbs. It is also the largest eagle in the world. The Harpy Eagle is the largest eagle in the Americas with a wingspan up to 6 1/2 feet and weight up to 20 lbs.
No eagle is going to carry off any animal that weighs more than it does. The physics make it impossible. In the picture the eagle is not carrying the deer. The picture was taken with the deer in mid stride while it was running.
