Clamsgotlegs sends us the story of Jason Galvin<\/a>, an Afghanistan veteran who discovered an eagle who was wrapped up in a rope and hanging from a tree.<\/p>\n

Galvin was on a bait run in his pickup, when he spotted the bird above a gravel road about a mile from his family’s cabin, upside down and struggling. By then the eagle had already been hanging more than two days, as neighbors called the Minnesota DNR and the Rush City police and fire departments, only to be told there was nothing the agencies could do. <\/p>\n

Galvin’s wife Jackie began making calls too, with similar results. “They just couldn\u2019t get up there high enough and they just unfortunately deemed this was going to be a loss.”<\/p>\n

“Right then I thought, ‘Man, that just doesn\u2019t look good.'” Jason Galvin said. <\/p>\n

As he assessed the situation Galvin joked that he might have to shoot the eagle down. His wife responded in a more serious tone. “Yup, that’s what you’re going to do.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It took him 150 .22 rounds from his Ruger 10\/22, but he shot through the entanglements to free the bird. The eagle is recoverin at the doc’s office and it will be released back into the wild.<\/p>\n
