Yup, the statement about game farm operators keeping predators under control was way off base. Game farms on the Eastern Shore of MD are overrun with eagles, but it is more the shooter's problem than the operator's. Most operations are involved with planted birds and leftovers are not of much importance to the operator. I kind of look forward to seeing an eagle take on a flighted cockbird. It isn't something that many of us get to see very often. It takes a talented predator to take a pheasant away from a hunter with the hunter within shotgun range. Somehow these Maryland whiteheads have figured it out. Our game farm operators would ban a shooter for life if he killed an eagle on a "hunt".
