  • We're hunting hares on farmland in Lincolnshire with Eagle falconer Roy Lupton and his friends. The first days provides some stunning footage of a hare which turns and faces the incoming eagle, escaping the razor sharp talons with perfect timing. There are plenty of other impressive flights and eventually the golden eagles find their quarry.

    This is beautiful. If you ask me I think this shows the bond between the eagles and their owners. Each one hunting together and helping each other. The eagle hunts and their owners enhance the eagles tools (the beak, wings, and talons) and they get praised and fed for even trying to hunt.

I have a great respect for Hares, it's a very very clever and courageous animal, a reak athlete able to escape from talented and numerous predators like fox eagles dogs wisel etc. One day I meet a dude, a old hunter who just like to be alone in the nature with his dog. He was convinced that some hares or maybe all was able to minimise their own smell near a predator

    One of the most amazing maneuvers I've seen in my life. He turns around, knows the eagle is coming, does a mini jump (or step) to set up a high jump. Once he jumps high he steps on the eagle (that just got to him at like what? 60 mph? More maybe) and does a second jump, thus getting out of the way and beating the eagle. Holy shit man

    Equally matched fights, one of the fastest land creatures vs one of the best air to ground birds of prey, the eagle has the hares on speed but you can't say the hare didn't give it a fighting chance(unlike when they are just shot).
    Few more years and the softcocks in parliament will probably ban it too.

    Awesome vid! golden eagles are my favorite bird of prey. I came here as I was looking at golden eagles for a my wood carving art work. This sort of hunting I gather takes a lot of work/training on both sides. I'm very impressed with the use of such large birds as a choice. I've actually witnessed a huge golden eagle chasing a cotton tail rabbit in Wyoming, only to be ditched at the fence line right at the last second. Magnificent animals indeed.

    Hi - We always upload our films as individual items as well. The main reason is that it's easier for people to share and easier for to those youtubers who aren't aware of us to find things. Eagles won't be everyone's cuppa tea but hopefully it'll reach people who don't know us, but love seeing these birds hunt. In future you can subscribe to just the programme so you don't get alerted if we put the other stuff up. Anyway I hope it was worth a second watch !! :)

    Both are the same in my opinion. Nature gives both predator and prey the tools they need for the job, as stated in the video. The predator has a chance of making the kill, the prey has a chance to escape. It can't get more humane than this.

    @kworbulan5844 4 года назад +1

    i have been hunting with golden eagles with kazakhs. it's not only the hare that uses that kind of last minute defensive manoeuvre. the eagle will try to match the speed of the quarry so that there is maximum amount of period for when to go for the kill and then suddenly dive or spin round so that the quarry is caught off guard. you can see this at 6 minutes. this happened to me once, i just managed to throw my camera in between my head and the eagle in time. i was watching the bird for a long time and only realised in the last 2 seconds it was attacking me. scary moment.

      You do know they're not talking about the fact they want to get their own meat, but the fact that it's hunting for sports, not for population control or anything like that? I totally admire hunting with birds and animals, but seriously, if you're going to try and make a dumbass out of someone, at least actually direct your supposed argument towards their own argument, and not make up stuff. If anything, this shows you clearly don't understand anything anyone is saying.
