    Edit Photo Details Eye to Eye - Hunter and Golden eagle   #eaglehunter #goldeneaglehunter #eaglehunterkazak
    This tough, Kazakh nomad is one of about 60 remaining traditional eagle hunters who live in the mountainous terrain of western Mongolia. An ancient tradition of training golden eagles to hunt for foxes and sometimes wolves is still part of daily life for these eagle hunter families. The hunter takes the young female wild eaglet from its nest and trains it over the next 1-2 years. A special bond develops between hunter and eagle - a trusting relationship between man and this enormous bird of prey
