Very cool video. I apologize if you have seen it already.
:TooFunny: I wish I knew what that Tom was thinking when he saw that dude coming right at him. That eagle must be hungry to want to take down a big bird like that I didnt realize that they would go after big birds.
Looked like a ninja gobbler! Holy fast
That Turkey knew something was up a full 3 seconds before the Eagle was close enough to make contact! Very cool.
Pretty sure that tom was a few ounces lighter when he got out of there! That's cool, thanks for sharing!!
:TooFunny: lol that was awesome.
I wonder if the Gobbler escaped after the first attack. At the end the Eagle looks like he's going in for a second shot.

Dang. Its no wonder after seeing the video why God has Equipped the turkey with such great eye sight. he seen it coming well before the eagle swoops down. Very cool.
very cool video
thats turkey was fast as shat
Dang, speckslayer and i were watching a gobbler breed a hen the other day and a bald eagle swooped down and appeard to kill the hen. It was hard to tell with the brush but he was pouncing around on the ground for about 15 minutes.
Cool video!
That gobbler gave that eagle the old head fake to the left then rolled to the right for extra rushing yardage.
Someone needs to send this video to Tim Tebow. He's gonna need it!
Cheers :newmascot:
FullChoke
That gobbler has been avoiding predators like this since he was a poult so it's nothing new to him! I was amazed a his quick judgement of the flight path of the eagle! I'm sure the eagle did not get him when out of camera range. That gobbler would have headed for thick cover and stayed there until all clear!
wow i would have put my money on the tom! i love how fast they run away
That is the best Road Runner impersonation I have ever seen.
You won't believe this, and I may be the only one that has had this happen to, but I had a Red Tail Hawk attack one of my hen decoys one year.
It went for the head.
Awesome footage.
Way too cool! Thanks for sharing.
And people wonder why turkeys are so spooky...
awesome video
I was hunting in Sheridan Wyoming and a golden eagle came down on a flock of turkeys like that. Happens very fast and without warning. The guide I was hunting with said it was a fairly common occurance.
