Show Golden Eagle Is No. 1 Enemy Of Local Sportsmen The golden eagle is rated as one of our worst predators in Duchesne county by Walter Nelson, Nel-son, chairman of the Duchesne :Fish and Game association predator pred-ator control committee. Recently Mr. Nelson, a Duchesne Du-chesne trapperk found three of these large birds feeding on a fawn they had killed in Sam's canyon southwest of Duchesne. He gave chase to one of the birds on foot and killed it with a hand axe. The eagle was unable un-able to escape Mr. Nelson's pursuit pur-suit because it was so heavy with the flesh of the fawn it had devoured that it was un-'able un-'able to take flight. The other two predators escaped over the rocks, Mr. Nelson said. I Examination of the huge eagle revealed no other-injury except that inflicted by the axe. |
