tiercel Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 A fantastic picture there. But methinks that the fox was the target. Not the carrion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiercel Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Dazza, Photoshop had not occurred to me. It is quiet possible. What worried me about the photo is how was the camera man in position to take the photo. Having said that, Golden Eagles do take foxes. That is how you have a provision in the Hunting Laws now that you can use, as many "Dogs" as you like to flush a fox for Falconry. Tiercel.

Ishapoor Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 That is amazing-almost makes you feel sorry for the fox! I wonder how the eagle actually kills it? Talons through throat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretboy111 Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Brave eagle, i wouldnt wanna try and take out a fox which is snapping like mad with just talons. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead-Eyed Duck Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 That must have been exciting - trying to separate a snapping, snarling fox from a pair of huge talons and a beak designed to rip chunks out of you. Ferreting used to be bad enough when you got a ferret down a hole fighting with a big rat. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 That is well cool. I gotta get me a pet Golden Eagle to take care of those f'in foxes that have recently started going through my bins. As an aside, a mate of mine has a wife who is perhaps the worst cook ever. They have a great tale of how she cooked spag bowl, no one in doors touched it and the whole lot got binned - huge argument that night in that house - you take me for granted... I tried to cook a meal... the least you could do is eat it and set an example for the children... you know how it goes. Anyways, that night the local foxes raided their bins - the foxes ate all the baby's sh***y nappies and left the mountain of spag bowl untouched.

kip270 Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 They also fly them at Roe deer in Hungary. In Russia they fly Golden Eagles at Wolves. They are magnificent birds, £3000. but if you got the time and ground to fly them they are amazing. Very good at Hare's over here as well, but need a lot of ground to hunt them. They hunt foxes in Kazakstan with them as well As for killing the fox, it would drive it's talons through the skull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 They rake in the heel talon, a bit like a thumb talon if you think about it, this gets driven into the prey usually in the skull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
