good point Illy... but, im not the one that poisoned anything, and i highly doubt any of my family ever killed an Eagle.. i have been fascinated by them since i was a young kid, and still am..i used to love being out the the boat in front of the cabin fishing, watching them swoop down and take trout and salmon and flying up into the Madrone or Fir trees and eat them... i would rather protect them, i dont feel the need to kill any bird/mammal anymore... after whackin a few Coyotes, i found out that i didnt enjoy it one bit... i also would like to fully protect wild Steelhead, meaning ZERO killing of them, but since that is going over like a fart in church, i highly doubt anyone will listen to what my opinions are on Eagles anyways...
