I would have never thought of eagles attacking deer, but it is obvious they would now that I think of it. Seems to me the larger eagles would have an easy time with baby deer, right? Does anyone know if this has been documented on video? What an interesting article. I would have never thought of eagles attacking deer, but it is obvious they would now that I think of it.

We've got an abundance of eagles that winter here in recent years and it's changed everything. Very interesting reading and stories to boot.

Antelope does or yearlings are pretty small, but unless the eagle could get at their eyes I don't see how they could kill it. Eagles do eat a lot of roadkill, and some people see them feeding on a deer carcass and assume they killed it. As others have written, I have also seen them harassing mulies & goats in cliffy areas--apparently trying to startle or knock them over the rocks.

I study these birds for various environmental groups. I watched the eagle single out a yearling and run it down a steep hill, the sure footed deer never missed a step. thus this time the mammal got away. I have read about many things being taken by eagles, the best story was from a fish and game guy, who told of a golden riding on the back of a pronghorn til the eagle punctured a lung and finally the pronhorn was taken. many stories of rancher's seeing eagle on sheep. eagles tkae lamb's but more often then not when a ealge is on an adult it was carion. the above stories about mountian goats, antelope, deer and what not are amazing thank- you all for shareing. I did some research and posted some links above this comment not sure if they made it in, if not just google golden eagle's hunting deer and there is alot of research and info out there. just watched a 1st year golden straif and pursue a herd of 8 black tailed deer for about a half hour.

This is some incredible footage of an eagle taking down a deer. It looks pretty set up, but still shows the power of what an eagle can do. This footage ties in to an article Michael Burrell did in our Mule Deer Watch section of Hunting Illustrated about Eagles and Deer. You can read some comments about it on this earlier post and see another video clip here. [...] […] This video is circulating around quite a bit lately.

Was suprised because those cliffs were very high up, and very steep. So goats have 3 things to fear.

After an hour or so, an eagle caught my eye circling the opposite ridge. As I watched him, he swooped down towards the ground, and at the last minute before he hit, he climbed back up. He kept doing this over and over. As I watched through my binoculars, I saw a buck duck his head as the eagle swooped within a few feet of him. I'm sure the eagle wasn't looking to kill the deer... just tormenting him... I think. It was quite a show, and I ended up killing that buck later in the day. He ended up scoring around 170". I don't think I would have spotted him if it hadn't been for that eagle. I was mule deer hunting in Idaho last year and had been glassing all morning and had seen nothing.
