She had to have been injured prior to the eagle.

I've seen a golden eagle kill 3 deer now. I believe Idabooner saw it twice, plus a goat.   The goat a different tactic.   The deer was not previously injured.  Just weak from the winter

I couldn't watch past about 30 seconds. Nature certainly is cruel.

Wow, the antelope is going to have a slow agonizing death. The antis think hunters are terrible, they fail to consider or understand that hunters manage wildlife in a far more humane manner with much less pain and suffering than when nature acts!

I don't think so.  She's not hamstrung.  Looks like she's just cold and starving. 
That is what I teach in the conservation chapter of Hunter Ed.  Prey animals don't really "starve" to death in nature.  They generally only starve until they can't evade a predator.  Then I describe how coyotes hamstring a deer.  Your bullet/arrow is just about the kindest way for a deer/elk/antelope to leave this planet...
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

:yeah: Exactly. There are very few deaths in nature that aren't agonizing.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

What you guys mentioned here reminds me of the eagles and ravens pecking the eyes out of newborn lambs and calfs in some areas.
