Went Groundhoggin' today with my shootin' partner John.
I got dibs on the first shot and managed to drop this ol' boy with one shot @ 352 yards.
Well not ten minutes later a group of Buzzards came in to the free meal.
We watched and shot some video footage of the clean up crew. They hung around for about 45 minutes then they all took off. I had noticed, out of the corner of my eye, what I thought was a Buzzard with some white features. Well when I put the optics on it, I was surprised to see that it was a Bald Eagle.
Well it just came on down, cautiously approached the Groundhog and started having it way with it.
John was shooting footage with his Video camera and I thought "Hey, get some thru the scope footage", so I did my best with my point and shoot thru the scope.
Hope y'all like it.

ETA:
I was using my 700SPS in 223 spitting out 55gr Blitzking @ 3300 fps.
John was using his Savage 22-250 putting 50gr Vmaxes to good use.
