Sad roadkill sighting

They are all over the place down there. I see at least one every time I'm at the camp in Pigeon

Happens to owls all the time. Kinda surprised an Eagle would swoop down like that over a road.

Its not unusual for that to happen. It was probably heading to a feast on some other roadkill in the vicinity.

Almost hit one on where I10 goes over Blind River. It drop whatever it had in it's beak and dove to pick it up again. Missed it by no more than foot, glad I did.

was probably eating roadkill himself

I drove by one a while back that appeared to be eating something down in the ditch. I passed by doing about 65 and the eagle ignored me and carried on with its business. Hard to believe they've already become that comfortable around vehicle traffic.

I hunted an area in N La for years and had camera's out, we never saw anything but 110-120's at the max.

One morning, on the way home, I find a car on the side of the highway within 1/2 mile of my lease had hit a 9 pt with 6" bases. The buck would score in the 160's etc etc

At 10:00 am on a warm sunny day

I've had to come to nearly a complete stop because one of those dumb bastards wouldn't get off a dead pig
