I'd be willing to bet they did.

I understand it is messed up for someone to shoot an eagle. I hope they catch the person responsible. I'm just saying after hearing the story first hand a few days before it hit the news gave me an insight into how they were handling the investigation.

Basically, bald eagle gets shot in your vicinity. You are now a suspect for exercising your 2nd amendment rights at some earlier point in time in the general area.

doesn't that just kinda seem like common sense though?

who owns the adjoining property? who regularly hunts in the area? etc just seem like obvious question in cases like these

Here is another tidbit of information.

When the feds got done talking to him they said, "Expect to be seeing us a lot more often".

They told him in cases like this or the killing of black bears, if they don't get any good leads they camp on the area. They'll spend the next year or two looking for trespassers and any game violations they may find to use against someone as a bargaining tool for information about the bird.

Intimidation much?
