Bald Eagle Freed with one shot… from a Muzzleloader!

Here’s a great story I found on the web today. An Iowa conservation officer freed a Bald Eagle from being stuck on a tree with one shot… using a muzzleloader! Talk about an amazing shot!
Sandholdt bent a tree sapling over to use as a brace. He used the muzzleloader’s scope to take aim, and the bullet traveled 60 to 70 feet, cleanly through the edge of the knothole. Sandholdt figures he hit the talon, too.
