These golden eagles are big. Read of one getting out of a crate in an aircraft hold at Heathrow and tearing the plane apart. Once saw a pic of one on the roof of a VW bug with his wings spread. Looked like the VW was going bye-bye.
You can find videos of them killing wolves in Mongolia. There is a certain poetry in two apex predators, man and the eagle, working together.
I would trade my rifles for an eagle, were I not 75 and beat.

I've seen Wedge tailed eagles out Broken Hill way in New South Wales, Aus. When the season is good and there is lots of prey around they can get huge. We drove up to one in one of those years when we had a great winter out there and the wildlife was abundant, this eagle had come down to the road to pick up some roadkill, a giant kangaroo killed by a truck. The wingspan on this eagle stretched almost white line to white line, had to be over 15', picked up this 100lb roo like it was a ball of wool and flew off into the distance to feed the kids. Amazing.
