Hawk attack turns into hawk being attacked

Very cool footage 3:16 run time
I don't think it ended well for the hawk.

WOW !
Seen a doe do that to a rattler once, but only took about a minute.
Thanks

The deer is very clearly not defending the rabbit from the hawk. Whitetail deer frequently eat rabbits and come to a rabbit in distress call looking for dinner. When a rabbit calls for a long time, experienced predators know that a weak predator has the rabbit. Strong and efficient predators kill prey fast. After the rabbit ran off, the hawk clearly became dinner. That is why you saw the deer charge the other deer. It was guarding it's food.





Deer eat lots of easy to kill prey and carrion too. There's a video online of deer eating human remains at a research site.



Elk eat rabbits too.



I have watched a deer eat fox squirrels.

Shoot that there deer.

If that is a button buck he sure will be a scrapper if he lives long enough to make 3 years old.

That deer should be tried federal court

Never knew deer ate rabbits.

Makes sense why I've had deer come in to predator calls but I would never have thought a deer or elk would eat meat or carrion.

That deer was responding to what it thought was a fawn in distress call Go out in June with a fawn call and watch them they will run you over trying defend their fawns
