   Reminded me of a time last year when I had to run up to town and on the   
   way I saw this very large Golden Eagle in the ditch feasting on a fresh   
   deer kill.  This was not a small fawn, but a good sized doe.  On the way   
   back home, I passed them again and the eagle had dragged that carcass   
   about 50 feet away from the road and was enjoying a little more privacy.   
     I was amazed at the strength that must have taken.
