Don't mean to steal your thread, but a somewhat related story: A few years ago my bro-in-law and I were walking a fence row and knocked down a pheasant. We headed after it when a hawk swooped in and nailed it on the ground. The rooster didn't give up easily - they were rolling on the ground like two cats fighting! I don't know if the hawk decided the meal was too much trouble or if he saw us coming but he finally gave up. We collected the bird, which was none the worse for wear (other than being shot of course). We always wished we'd had the foresight to whip out a cell phone and get that on video!
