Welcome to the site there Jim 

We brought home 3 ringnecks, but Pete did pretty good today out there while I was sitting in the blind with Tim today.
I left about 11 and we did not have one single shot opportunity this morning, it was foggy all morning and could not see crap......

[Jim Sr.]

I know that's how it's gone this season, we sure missed out on Sat. with the 4 flocks that came over & only 2 of them shootable. Guess we had Goose Fever on them!!!  Wish I could have joined you today but there will be other days B-4 the end of the season. Call in sick & we can hunt during the week!!!!

how did you cook the eagle

[martin1]

i had a eagle take a wigeon and a ringneck from me one day.

[BOWHUNTER45]

I was not going to say anything but I have too!! I had an eagle take my turkey decoy once ... like out of nowhere he came and SMACK .. Sounded like a gun shot when it hit it and then flew away ...watched it go as far as I could see and never dropped it ...think he may of choked on that bird

I would love to see that ,too bad you didn't make video of it . At least you got some ringnecks

[low97ram]

   i know i know..it didn't happen if there aren't pics. 

why is it when you have a good day of shooting it's always when you're by yourself and no one to verify it..l     ..i guess these will speak for themselves.

HAve had ducks taken by eagles also... but 3 years ago sitting in my blind I had some maalrds working the dekes and out of nowhere a blad eagle dropped right in and hit the greenhead.... didn't grab it though and it dropped in the tall grass by the blind.  It circled and left... I jumped out and went looking for it... glad I brought the gun.. it jumped when I was about 5 feet away..... Maybe the Blad Eagle was trying to pay me back for others it had taken?  LOL

There is a Baldie at Silver Lake in Pierce County that gets birds quite often.  It happened to me on 2 different days around christmas.  they were the first and only birds that I shot each day.      
If I make it out there again this year I am going to try and take a camera.

Eagle tastes just like spotted owl in case anyone's wondering.

[Jim Sr.]

Well I never thought it would happen to us, but it did!!! We had just jumped 50 or some odd GW Teal, when the dust settled 5 dropped, just as we were about to wade out to get them a Baldy swooped down & picked one up & flew off 

It could have been worse as I popped a mallard next to the bank & one was sitting in a tree not 30 yds, that drake prolly spotted it on his slow dive to the drink & would not even come up for air. Long story short we didn't find that bird.

Was a good day on the river with no company & bagged 4 GW Teal & one mallard hen between the two of us.
