When I was a kid you had to go to a zoo to see them. Now I just have to go outside. They are becoming a problem. My son nearly took one out with his car as it was recovering from a dive on a lapdog in somebody’s yard.

About the only LIVE meat they catch and eat is Fish, everything else is carrion, so they should not be any problem to anybody.

Balds are just everywhere. Goldens, on two occasions while shooting in the west I saw them attacking antelopes. One from a long ways, once in a large wash I was going to call, sitting with the ranchers son. We were getting set to call when 3 antelope does cam thru in front and below us. Thought we’d let them go by, see if there was any coyotes behind them. Suddenly a big brown flash from hi left and a golden slammed the back of the neck of the smallest doe. It hit, stayed aloft swinging out and up, the antelope which had tumbled over got up to catch the other two when a second golden we hadn’t seen slammed into the doe again doing the same. After a couple more trips apiece the antelope stayed down and they were on its neck quick, hacking away. A little more struggle and it was over.
I have no doubt they do the same to deer fawns and possibly range born calves but I have not seen it first hand.

I have to agree with you on the fish diet the baldy wants first and foremost. I have seen on a couple occasions where a baldy has taken a small rodent but other than that they are carrion dependent. The golden is a complete different character and will kill just about anything they feel confident to attack.
Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

They hang around geese all the time and the geese seem unbothered by them so apparently they don't kill the geese. ?
