Answer 1

That's a Roe.

In Europe and over into Asia, they have these little deer called Roe Deer. There are a few other breeds like this, but they are very very small compared to American deer.

They are maybe 40 lbs full grown, like a medium dog.

I have answered a few questions here from German hunters that mentioned they were hunting Roe deer and people were recommending calibers way too powerful for those little critters.

It's where the term RoeBuck comes from.

Answer 2

I believe the deer in question was a fallow deer or some other small breed, ( y'all note the deer is not much bigger than a Texas jackrabbit) and the "bird" was a eagle, or large gyrfalcon. The falcon killed the deer but did not carry it away.

Answer 3

Well, this certainly looks real. The bird appears to be some kind of falcon but, not being an ornithologist, I can't say what kind of falcon it is. For more information on falconry, just search "falconry" and see what you find. To see if it is leagal to hunt deer with a falcon, you need to contact the Dept. of Natural Resources in your state.

Answer 4

The Mongols used large birds of prey to kill fully grown deer, yes it is possible.

Answer 5

almost impossible. A large eagle might pick up a new-born fawn. There is no bird alive could kill a healthy full grown deer
