A provincial raptor rehabilitation program operating since 1986 first noticed a significant number of eagle bycatches in fur bearer trapping in Québec. Databases showed 34 golden eagles and 84 bald eagles cases of bycatches between 1986-2012 in Québec. The incidence of bycatches in the admission of live or dead birds for the same period was 62 % (n = 55) for golden eagles and 48 % (n = 177) for bald eagles. A separate database of eagle bycatch declaration to the wildlife officers provided another 187 eagles between 1989 and 2006; thus a total number of 305 eagles from 1986 to 2012. A postal survey in 2009 with a success rate of 38,9 % (n = 2743) revealed that 191 incidental eagle captures occurred and only 33,5 % of the trappers had declared them. According to the databases and the survey, eagle incidental captures essentially occur in canids trapping. Since 2008, efforts have been made to promote the declaration of incidental eagle captures to allow a better understanding of the issue. Additionally, a trapper information and education strategy was undertaken in collaboration with their federation and the stakeholders.
