It's video of a bald eagle attacking a turkey decoy

[bushden]

Pretty cool video !! I sometimes go down to the Florence NJ Yacht club and watch the eagles attack the sea gulls, sometimes they gang up on the gulls and just torment them, pushing them under water, I never seen a kill. They are beautiful to watch.

At the turn of the 20th century at least in New Jersey, both eagles and turkeys were on the endangered list. When f& wildlife introduced the turkeys back in the state what was it 22 of them for Vermont. It was a big success. Eagles were rare, not so much anymore. Here we go again.

Yeah the food chain.

Non-game species biologist in the state are doing a wonderful job.

Between Hawks, owls, fisher's, and them other diving birds whatever their name is that eat the trout,coyotes eagles, hunting fishing and trapping licenses and permits are going to take a big hit in the next 5 years!!!

One time I was wood duck hunting I had a beautiful drake cupped in the decoys, as I pulled the trigger a bald eagle swooped in after the duck, luckily the duck flaired and the eagle followed and caught him, I just about shit myself and thanked god for that duck being quicker than me,
