[QUOTE="DMP25-06, post: 1968844, member: 27271"] Great story !!!! All of your hours , days , months , and years spent in the outdoors , in sparsely populated areas , has allowed you to witness events that most people can't imagine . I read your posts , and it is easy for me to imagine that I am there beside you , watching these events unfold . I once saw a Golden Eagle miss , in an attack on a Mule Deer fawn/yearling , back in 1982 . I was sitting just under the rim of a flat-top mesa , when I heard rocks clattering just above me . I slowly turned my head to see a mule deer doe and fawn come over the edge , and down off the flat above . Just as the fawn dropped off from the flat-top , a Golden Eagle streaked down from above , wings flared to stop it's dive , and talons open to strike the fawn , but it missed . I am rather certain that when the 2 deer dropped over the edge , that the eagle could not correct it's angle of attack , causing the miss . There was no sound from the eagle until it's wing feathers were flared , and then I could hear the wind whizzing through the feathers . I was within 50 feet of the deer and eagle when it happened , in a brief period of 15 - 30 seconds . It was well worth the price of admission ... Golden Eagles are truly awe-inspiring predators .
