Wow people, over 3M views! You are awesome! Thank you all! Please share a video with your friends if you like it! :)

[@tidepod4130]

Golden Eagle. Such a majestic animal!

[@LordDessik]

Absolutely amazing! Such majesty! Such grace!

[@elguaguero23]

Awesome Birds and the people that train them

[@shashikantkadu2108]

Hi Hani Girgis fantastic live hunting with Golden Eagle.. Background music also good. I Like the film.

[@HiddenbyLeaves]

Without the warning at the beginning I would've giving it a thumbs down. As it is, I'm sincerely thankful that you did. We admire the Eagle greatly and we liked your short movie, thanks for sharing !

[@nenaddmc]

One million views! :O :) Thx everyone!!! :)

[@Antipodean33]

Where is this? I wish there was a bit of information as to where this is exactly. For me this would be a great way to hunt. I'm an Australian and we have Wedge Tailed eagles, probably not as big as a Golden Eagle, but still very large. I've seen them take out goats in the Flinders Ranges in my state of South Australia. Unfortunately a few decades ago farmers would shoot them because they killed sheep. There was a story of a female that was shot and she had a wing span of 12 feet, so the story said. This would be such a good way to hunt, these ppl are very lucky to be able to do this

[@Gsmooth10455]

Antipodean33 Judging by the poster's name I would have to say that this is somewhere in Serbia, possibly Croatia.

coolbros normal Yes, hello

[@onclebob2178]

Antipodean33 In austalia, you have black falcons. I LOVE black falcons!

[@The1Helleri]

This is something of a counter argument to Kelline Pickett's post... The biggest advantage for longevity of a species (at least for about the last 5,000 years) is being useful to People. This has never been more true then it has since about the early 1800's and world wide industrial revolutions that proliferated that era. Considering deaths from exposure to toxins, power lines, aircraft strikes, poaching, and even decreases in wild breeding do to loss of habitat and nest disturbing. This is a darn good fit. Birds like this, with this kind of training can help to keep pests off of farms, birds off of airstrips and the like. Because they are useful to us, their survival is assured. And, no doubt, we are altering them. They are learning to be group animals. Their descendants will inherit a genetic memory of working together. Because, the more cooperative birds will be the ones that are breed for such desirable traits. And, so where this species might go extinct in the face of human expansion. In a future where we are perhaps kinder to the world we inhabit, their descendants may be introduced back into the wild. And, because of their time with humans be far more likely to succeed.

[@rinrin0rikuriku]

Agreed. By the way she is speaking, we should neither own dogs, cats, or any sort of animal. In fact, we should probably stop eating meat and vegetables because all of these things that we take for granted are often the production of years and years of modification, both behavioral and genetic.

[@longshipventures]

I guarantee these birds are better looked after and lead a much more fulfilling life than Kelline's shitty little dog or cat that never gets let out of the house and gets to do nothing of use to anyone. You notice the birds don't just fuck off when their handler runs up to help it? They're a team, and the birds choose to stay with the handler. Given half a chance, your braindead shih-tzu would run out in traffic while you frantically called it from your doorstep, just to end it's pathetic, miserable existence.

[@The1Helleri]

Rusty Shackleford That seriously brought a tear to me eye I from laughing so hard. Brain dead shih-tzu running happily into traffic to end it's pathetic life...good stuff, lol. And, a good point too. These are wild animals. And, their traits as wild animals are what we find desirable. So, they are not in any real danger of ever being inbred. We are never going to see a tea cup eagle in some woman's purse (something that literally shivers from the simple act of actually being that ridiculous and living). We want these to keep their wild streak and hunters heart. And, we owe them a good life for the fact that we have made it harder for them to have one on their own. And, you can't just turn these things loose, either. Eagles mate for life. They probably see their trainers/handlers as their mates. If some radical environmentalist 'sets them free' their condemning the birds to a level of stress that will probably kill them. like I said before. this is a good fit. A role in which we can coexist. And both of the species benefit.

[@Smithy07sham]

Great video of the Golden Eagle and nice music from Legends of The Fall.

[@matsfreedom]

A friend and I discovered a nesting pair of golden eagles preying exclusively on sharp tailed grouse and prairie chickens. That was a real eye opener for us, as we are both fly Jerkins at prairie grouse, and know how challenging they are to catch. Wild eagles are incredible!

[@kevinbarksdale7897]

I would sit here and hit LIKE for ten minutes straight if I could. This was very incredible. I actually had goose bumps watching this. Your choice of back ground music was perfect as well. These creatures are beautiful both in flight, and perched. Where I live we have a good variety of birds of prey. One of my simple pleasures in life is watching as they circle in the sky. It also a thrill to see them fishing. Though sometimes they can be very annoying. I once watched a bald eagle bring a salmon out of the river. The fish had to be at least 20 pounds. The eagle took it to the top of a dead tree on the far bank. When he pecked at it the fish jumped, slipping from the eagles grasp, and feel to the bank. For some reason the eagle did not retrieve the salmon but took off instead. When my oldest was 6 years old I took her fishing at Galesville Reservoir in Oregon. Ospreys were out over the reservoir circling, my daughter asked what they were doing. I explained they were doing the same thing we were, looking for a good place to fish. She asked me how they caught fish without fishing poles. One of the ospreys we were watching answered her question for her. We were both amazed how long the hawk was under water, but learned why, the salmon was HUGE. The osprey came out of the water flying towards the far bank, but the fish was so heavy and fighting hard the bird was having trouble getting off the surface of the water. Thankfully I had my binoculars that day as we were able to watch the salmon be taken up to the top of a tree where the osprey had a nest full of little ones.

[@kimberlymckinley1043]

so beautiful to see how tame the majestic eagle is to you band of brothers if you don't mind me asking if one majestic eagle should pass on what do you do with the carcass and feathers

[@Mittn]

It puts a smile on my face to see how much you and your bird love eachother.

[@KRT054]

Those are some spectacularly gorgeous birds. Fine hunters indeed! Masters of the sky. Beautiful! What more can I say? God really knows how to make them. Doesn't he?

[@jojojojo5353]

+Kevin Thomas except that god didnt make them , evolution did

[@marknutt4470]

+jojojojo5353 *tips fedora*

[@blackcat4562]

I absolutely agree. I think I'd like to own one some day.

[@jojojojo5353]

evolution doesn't work that way , study it before making idiotic ignorant comments on it

[@blackcat4562]

jojojojo5353 God created things through evolution. Anyways, you think one small comment will change what someone believes? Well in that case I hope the Lord saves you. This is my only response to you.

[@mulelady1]

Wow! Who would have guessed a Golden Eagle could hunt and catch such large animals. WOW! Amazing.

[@DisHammerhand]

Amazing! I admire anyone who can get a Golden Eagle to cooperate with them and catch a deer! Beautiful birds.

[@Cusebasser]

As a inspiring falconer this is a great video to show the end result of all the work that goes into this.

[@flohh]

Everyone who comments along the lines of "wow you disgust me how can you kill innocent animals like that?", you need to use your brain, and realize that the eagle wouldn't be a vegetarian in the wild. The only things the people in the videos do is help direct the eagle's, flush prey, and end the suffering of the animals.

[@kaewgigliuto2407]

You could just fly the eagles and buy them some chicken at the end of the day. I do it with a kite I found when it was young, no need for it to kill anything, the fucking supermarket is full of chicken, duck and turkey that have all been humanely killed.

[@flohh]

wtf does humanely killed even mean? Theres no such thing.

[@flohh]

Only if someone/something is suffering and you use lethal injection or something like that.

[@onclebob2178]

Kaew Gigliuto Eagles are hunters, it's their nature: birds of prey! Giving them supermarket stuff not allowing them to hunt is against nature and stupid!

[@kaewgigliuto2407]

Is it not also against the law of nature for an eagle to be sitting on a mans hand?

[@sheldonhoyt6624]

Golden Eagles I think are the most beautiful birds on the planet. They are absolutely awesome!

[@jaqjaques]

Some of the comments really made me laugh. Buy it chicken from the supermarket so animals don't suffer? Lol. Like the chicken in the supermarket didn't suffer a miserable short life. Come on. Thanks for sharing the video. You're a lucky man to share a relationship with a bird like that.

[@spiveyc4404]

I agree, honestly I’d say that animals hunted in the wild suffer less than those raised on farms.

[@The_Superpack]

Spivey C its more like pick your poison

[@joannkokindo768]

wonderful video. the raptor is magnificent

[@supa308]

This is one of the first videos I've seen that deserve one million+ views.

[@KzxDarman]

nice video! proud that our traditional sport is so widespread greetings from Kazakhstan

[@ydennlc]

That is greatly wonderful. The eagles are magnificent.

[@isaiahdanielrockaguilar9557]

i really like this short movie, and great performance with the bird and the hare, i like each and every scene. i like the script =)

[@TheMac613]

Unreal video. Awesome bird

[@rponcec]

Excellent, good movie and excellent quality

[@easytoslipE2S]

didn't realize they were so big, wow!!!

[@ЛидияГромова-ч6ц]

Eagles are the largest birds out there))))

[@RonALampman]

This is absolutely AWESOME!!

[@tobymardlin5448]

I like the concept of man and eagle tag-teaming to bring down deer. The eagle can find the deer and catch it but probably can't bring it down, but all it has to do here is slow it down enough for the man to catch up and finish it. Great video

[@satishlakhera1972]

videos is great but work is bad

[@daddiojones238]

Toby Mardlin the dude helps so the bird doesn't get injured. bird wouldn't go for it if it wasn't his natural diet. welcome to nature

[@Kjell_H]

Awesome video. The place where I hunt reindeer......(Norway) it is golden egales in the wild. They hunt reindeer now an then. Calves are no match for the egales but the adult ones are more tricky. They puncture their lungs and wait until the reindeer is dead. Easy meal. The golden egale are great birds and great hunters as well......again.....great video.

[@navanjohnson5318]

This is pretty cool stuff! You can tell that it's a ton of work to train a raptor. Much Respect my friend.

[@Gman6755]

Looks like a great time was had by all, except of course for the rabbits and deer! Amazing Eagles you guys have there! What magnificent birds!

[@2003zq8]

That was an awesome video! They are so powerful and smart... Theirs a video that shows Golden Eagles in the Dardia Mountains of Greece hunting tortoises by picking them and flying up to great heights and dropping them against the rocks below to separate the shells.

[@ryanmarcus9554]

Outstanding. Man and bird in unison. I love this. I'm a big game hunter myself. But never hunt other predators, only hunt large dangerous prey. Dig the video. Keep it up. (ps. Dig the Legends of the Fall soundtrack)

[@ThaOlBoy]

Awesome video. Hope all those Raptors are ok!

[@CaBdosdos]

Love to see a go pro on one of these bad boys.

[@flohh]

[@JiNYa92]

iRez2013 He said Go Pro.. :D

[@flohh]

Close enough haha

[@willieboy8798]

go to a rehabitation site a man put a go pro on one... it look fantastic to see a eagle in play flight. the speed at which it travels at low flight is incredible.

[@danielcloete6206]

Wow, majestic animals, everything in harmony the way it should be.

[@SamiChatila]

That's a beautiful bird.

[@Stevealaska99567]

I want to go hawking with you guys. Very cool videos!

[@lewisphillips2669]

Really enjoyed this, amazing power, skill and courage.

[@ps37see10and29]

Nenad , just want to thank you for the warning you added at beginning ; while i fully understand the need and admire the expertise of the predators , i am averse to witnessing the death of any animal ... i like the way you worded the warning . i think it's great you have made this film available and i wish i could watch eagle at work ...but it just isn't in me . so , again , thank you - it was a kind thing , i think .

[@megadracosaurus]

Extremely awesome!

[@Cetrero]

Nice birds! Thanks for share.

[@RickyJC]

Felt like how to train your dragon, but smaller. Great video

[@kapra7017]

wow! amazing! such a wonderful video. did you slaughter the animal after they have been catch?

[@superfly19751]

Beauties! Please keep the tradition alive.

[@izharkhan8174]

I have always appreciate Golden Eagle. They are the best hunters. The Wolves of the air. I happened to be a proud owner.

[@SHARPPITT]

Very nice , love these birds

[@DisHammerhand]

What beautiful birds! That one part where the eagle grabs the deer by the hinder parts and goes for a ride is pretty funny.

[@sokolarstvo]

Svaka chast Hani, pozdrav Ogi.

[@devikarani2977]

The raptor hunting video is amazing. Can you indicate if they need assistance now to hunt or are you doing this as a part of research and training.

[@elicohencohen]

Truly amazing! Very Nice...

[@TommyZio]

Wow! Amazing video!

[@ele4853]

Almost three million now dude!

[@masitaatisam3679]

nice vid nenad ! looks to me you know what you are doing and that you respect both animals ....the predator and the hunted one too. , another bright eyed predator just like wolves....crocodiles....and the Kitty family ... impressive vid

[@cesarm2739]

Wow beautiful REAL EAGLE GREAT VIDEO VIVA MEXICO #1 2016

[@931seeker]

Very cool birds!! Bull Elk are cool also. ♡♡♡☆

[@srgofcb]

You can't get much more in tuned with mother nature than the bond of hunting companions do.

[@mkincaid1985]

Soo awesome! Thanks for posting. :)

[@JS-xp7ci]

Do you eat the rabbits or does the eagle get it? Impressive video.

[@bernhardwieser8359]

Wonderful hunting with golden eagle!

[@justinjacobs1501]

That's a beautiful maneuver at 2:20 Cuts his horizontal speed and gives him more room to accelerate downward onto the rabbit.

[@djcombee1231]

That was AWESOME!!!

[@WinnieFinesse]

This isnt amy this her bf Jacob, this is outstanding! I really want to get into falconry but I'm a complete novice any hints or tips? I cant get over how amazing this is!

[@tufernhel2925]

Amazing and thrilling! I have never seen them take down a deer before. Thanks for posting.

[@SirCharles12357]

Wow! A deer! That must be one proud eagle. Question when hunting with raptors do you have to abide by deer season rules? Did you tag the deer afterwards?

[@JD-it7nx]

this is wicked. beauty birdo

[@JuanaLopez-kj2ff]

Awesome video, I love eagles:)

[@restupermana8224]

Very Good Job !!!!!!!!!

[@1stcommonsense]

Absolutely Amazing!

[@sudhamansamanta1786]

very nice video brother thanks for share

[@ejigiri12]

Very interesting. I love it.

[@kgranfield778]

This is better than rc airplanes I love it bro

[@FancyFarmOFFICIAL]

great video! thanks

[@supa308]

An Eagle capturing and killing a deer is the most awesome thing I have ever see. Freaking great upload!!!!!!!!!!

[@jaydee5447]

Dude...this bird is amazing

[@geoffmilton8632]

Totally amazing, they take on really heavy prey. Looks like the birds are well loved and cared for.

[@krisclay9247]

Falconry a majestic practice with an almost religious overtone. One does not just do falconry, one lives, eats, and breaths it. To establish a true partnership between man and raptor without the illusion of ownership, this my friends is true falconry in its purest form. I hope one day to accomplish a partnership between myself and a magnificent raptor, to be able to call myself a falconer.

[@динасагалаева]

Great feather comrades of yours. What is weight of the golden eagle taking deers down?

[@Kelios85]

What else do you carry in that pouch?? I would be really worried about my eagle getting hurt hunting the bigger game, but holy Hell was that some good hunting. What's your favorite knife for bleeding?? I'm interested in a mini kukri but my '76 Bone Old Timer works well with my sling shot.

[@juju2bockyy]

beautiful birb

[@peirced2hell]

Those birds are AWSOME

[@TheRuntane]

This is realy cool!

[@deseretedtrikyjohn]

LMFAO i Love how that Rabit Deer keeps going and Draged the Bird xD

[@Count.Dracula46]

Golden Eagles are hands down the most majestic flying creatures on this planet, just as Tigers are on the land. All praises are for the Almighty God

[@bokeflo]

Falconry with Eagles. Amazing.

[@anthonyrymer4391]

At first I was like are they really eagles?! But then when I saw them take down the deer it took all the doubt out of me. I don't think a falcon can take down a deer. I didn't know you can train eagles to hunt like the falcons. This is amazing!

[@ЛидияГромова-ч6ц]

Yes, it's a long tradition in Central Asia and Mongolia to hunt with eagles

[@menocortez7129]

r nice video keep em comming !!!!!!!

[@Citizenfitz1]

Amazing, beautiful animals! Their eyesight's so good they could read newsprint from hundreds of yards away. An eagle cam here would be cool. Thanks, God.

[@cammo1986]

Truely amazing...thank you for sharing!

[@sranjesuper]

So there you go kids, next time the bully at school wants to pick on you, purchase a Golden Eagle and UNLEASH the wrath on your bully. Watch the eagle pick up the bully and carry him in the air and drop him to the ground

[@shaunbarry4325]

Eagles are very talented

[@JessicaSimonson1976]

I don't know where your hunting little deer at with eagles.....Look like Roe deer to me. But here in USA most states can only pursue small game with falconry.

[@JessicaSimonson1976]

Sujit Kumbhar really?

[@JKenWelch]

Jessica Simonson here in the USA, our birds like any other bird anywhere else will only go after what it thinks it can catch. I have heard of some people hunting Coyotes, but have not seen any videos for this.

[@gojo197zero]

AMAZING! Why didn't the bird continue to attack on the rare misses? just asking are they trained not to?

[@850smoke]

its a rare miss bcuz eagles dont hunt from the wrist of a person..throwing them in the direction of running prey takes away from thier hunting process..they are not getting enough time to stalk their prey so they are not really hunting at all..one of the most popular reasons ppl own exotic pets and animals(snakes, ect.) bcuz they like to see/watch them kill and eat..these guys are just watching these eagles making a kill then eating..they are not really training them to do anything..this is not an amazing short movie..its just great golden eagle footage with handheld cameras or maybe a cell phone :/

[@arriviste2020]

850smoke What a brilliant conclusion to arrive at. Right up there with the "fact" that, according to the theories of dynamic flight etc, it is impossible for a Bumble Bee to fly,.......but the Bumble Bee doesn't know that!!! Bright as Alaska in December:))

[@ЛидияГромова-ч6ц]

Because it had second thoughts whether it should

[@eddya8501]

the black head eagle is the best original Frome Africa Thay don't have no fear and very smart respect his owner.

[@langdayton8091]

In what location and in what country was this Amazing short movie filmed?

[@nenaddmc]

Mostly in Austria, Slovenia and Serbia.

[@langdayton8091]

Thank you for the info. If you have not seen the KZbin videos of Mongolian horsemen hunting wolves with golden eagles, you should check it out.

[@charlessusickii2433]

lovely sport keep up the good work

[@Paganiproductions84]

Great video

[@jasperdj]

Those seem like rough attacks, do the eagles get injured often?
