I Hit A Bald Eagle With My Truck
1 Attachment(s)
Not something you see every day. Driving in to work and bald eagle swoops down to get some road kill. This eagle and another had been fighting with a few crows. Problem was he went to get it when I was way too close to him. He tried to fly away but there was just no way he could get away in time.

That's 10 years in a federal prison, if I recall

Yeah, do not post that to social media. I believe there are some pretty unreasonable laws. Murderer.

Just don't keep a feather for a keep sake

Amazing you could still drive it.
I'll try to post an old coyote hunting story of my father's later. |
Serious question...are they protected only because they are the national bird? I mean they certainly aren't endangered. They're pretty common just about everywhere with water/trees and an unlimited food source.
I should clarify I'm not suggesting they shouldn't be protected and respected, nor should people not get in trouble who intentionally murder them. I'm moreso just pointing out that I see them everywhere, whether I'm in Kansas or up North in Minnesota / Canada. |
Looks like Jalen Hurts at the end of SB LVII.

Hope you like prison food. And penis.

That is truly one of the craziest pics I have ever seen.

I'd leave him right where he rests. No one is gonna mess with you driving up with that for a hood ornament and you'll always have a break the ice story.

You should rename your truck as "The Biden Express"
In B 4 "durkr durr take shit to DC durr" You could call it "The Trump Express" too. Whatever. The joke is evident, no matter which side you prefer. This picture will be used in many future memes. |

This was clearly an accident. I know I wont be in trouble for the death and i didn't touch it until cops got on the scene so there's no question that I did not keep anything. Cop said he'd been an APD cop for almost 20 years. Never seen this before. Pretty wild. |

I really can't get over the pic, you could make a hell of a meme out of that one. ROFL |

LOL Nice.
My buddy almost took the ditch to avoid a big ass eagle. When I was probably 12, this cat we had working for us was driving my dad's pickup with me in the passenger seat boogying down a county road where I see some Turkey Vultures chewing on a crusty jackrabbit. So I see them and one is a little slow to get moving, but whatever, the dude is normally a pretty reasonable driver, pretty soon the dumbass dives down into the seat. I'm naturally like WHAT THE **** "one of those big ****ers hits the windshield, it's coming in!' "Might be a good idea to, I dunno, SLOW THE **** DOWN" My unlicensed ass started drving more after that. It was pretty close. It shit all over the headlight. |

Damn, what a shame. Shocking. What a beautiful (dead) bird.

The only personal amusing story I have, and I say amusing because, well, it is. It's not like hitting a deer or something, because that is definitely not amusing.
Anyway, turkey hunting, Easter morning, my brother and I woke up late. Jumped in the truck and went barreling down the road to the place where we had some treed the night before. Yup, out pops a bunny out of the ditch and I ran it over. No Easter eggs or chocolate bunnies for the local kids that Easter. |

That is a pretty amazing pic, frozenchief.
I have a similar story, though nothing as crazy as an eagle. I was on my way home a year or two ago on the county road going about 60. A hawk (red hawk, I think - the main one native to KS) swooped down from high up where he had been sitting watching for prey. The sucker flew right in front of my truck and I heard it slam into the grill. As I'm watching this whole thing unfold, I just couldn't believe that was happening. I mean, this is busy road so I would think that animals would be weary of vehicles but nope. I looked around but didn't see it anywhere so I thought it might be stuck in the front grill of my truck. I was only about 1/2 mile from home so I figured I would just check it when I got home. At home, I got out of the truck fully expecting to see a bloody hawk carcass stuck to my truck but I was kind of surprised to find that there was nothing. I have no idea what happened to that hawk. Next time I drove on that strip of county road, I looked around for a dead hawk but didn't see anything. |
That photo happened about a year late.

About 30 years ago was driving across SE Colorado out in middle of no where. Up ahead of me it appeared a large size dog was perched on a power pole. As I got closer realized it was a Golden Eagle. It was huge. Intimidating as hell. I regret not stopping to take a pic, but then again maybe he was hungry. LOL

Seriously, though, don't attach this picture to ANYTHING in social media that applies your real name to it. That's just opening the door to all kinds of unwanted grief, from internet lunatics to agencies wanting to fine you to death. Had this happened to me, I don't even know if I would have posted it here. You've already got enough shit to deal with getting your truck repaired. |

Also that's a shame, but it's just bad luck. What can you really do to avoid such a situation?

As I understood it, the American Bald Eagle WAS on the endangered list but at some point was just moved to Protected or whatever. In any case, we're seeing them around here the last couple of years. I mean, I had never seen one in my life until about 2 years ago. It's kinda breathtaking to be honest. I'm sure as they become more common, it'll be less impressive, but if I see one, I stop and watch.
My wife was watering the flowers by the side of the house, and heard the scraping of talons on the gutters above. She looked up and out of the corner of her eye saw this thing swooping above her head and then it took off down the street. It was a bald eagle, must have either been perched on the roof or was swooping down and hit the gutter. Freaky... They are BIG for sure, as the OP pic illustrates. So, what did they do with it? Like, carefully peel it off and stick it in a box for tagging and disposal? |

Go to Alaska. Bald eagles are like wrens or crows. |

Years back I was driving through a country road trying to make it to my kids baseball game, and I popped over the hill and a flock of turkeys was in the middle of the road and I just scattered them. I just kept going and got to the south side of town and drove up the main drag to the north side where the ball fields were and parked. Got out and walked around the front of the truck and there was a dead turkey jammed in the brush guard in front of the truck. I yanked it out and threw it under the truck parked next to me and walked to the game.

I was standing below one that was perched in a tree somewhere close to Homer or Kenai and it was like walking into a domestic house with cats. It took notice I was in the area but didn't even really flinch at my presence. My 2 states are PA and CO and you can't even get in 100 yards of them if you're lucky enough to even spot one. Alaska is to bald eagles as Sweden is to good looking blond women. |
