they can and will take them

dunno if pic is fake, but foxes are taken often by golden eagles, some also hunt wolves with them

Being as the question relates to the veracity of the picture - not wether Goldies take fox, as we all know they will and do - I'd suggest ye copy that shot and blow it up a bit.

 

Look at the eagles feet: He has no grip on the fox ~ unless you want to suggest the back talon of his right foot is tossing the fox like that? It's the only one I can't clearly make out as out of touch with the fox.

 

However, aside from that; Examing the space between the foxes back legs. The feathers of the birds tail are super imposed over one of foxys thighs. Foxys back, left leg has been rather poorly dubbed in. Argue that away if ye like. Damned if I can.

 

Then, for the purists; The play of light on foxy is all wrong. I.e. Non existant. I'm no expert on anything featured there. But, for my money, it's a crock.

 

What ever.

Took the words out of my Mouth DS .

 

Like you also said We all know Goldies can do it but thats a fake big time, none of it adds up! I have a few taking Fox's on Video and also find it a bit hard to beleive its gone for its back end when they know they're dangerous quarry, love the way the snow is virtually undisturbed around the fox's feet too.

I know its getting away from the tread a bit but heres one I like.

[jasper65 6]

Which Video Jasper??

 

Simon

 

Its a spanish Video simon! a couple of other lads on the site also has a copy of it, there's a good few flights on there of Fox's being taken but I can't understand a word of it.

[thurso jack 3]

lads where did i say they couldnt do it?? all i said was it didnt look right to me??

 

the thread on here or smoochers? all about using them for this specific task taught me that it is possible.

[Guest Frank]

Thanks all for clearing that up.

No seriously, cheeers.

 

I had my doubts too about the picture, but am certain that the Goldedn Eagle can take foxes, but id say prehaps at a guess, not on a regular basis, am i right, or do they take them when ever the chance presents itself?

 

Thanks,

 

Frank.

[Guest Frank]

AMAZING STUFF.

Thanks for that DODDO.

Unbelievable, so they do take foxes, tought so.

 

Buy the look of it aswell, the way it got hold of it, was just like in the picture, from the back end.

 

Cheers,

 

Frank.

Great shot, Fletch! Like; F***, that must hurt! And ye can almost see the hawk thinking: " Hmmh'hmmm. Got him by the head ..... Now I'll rip his guts out. Absolutely no concern of mine. "

 

Is there a more 'Natural Born Killer' in the entire universe?!
