Mongolian Eagle hunters, Deep in the craggy hills of Mongolia’s Altai region live a group of hunters with an extremely rare skill: hunting using golden eagles. For centuries, nomadic tribes of the Altai region have trained their young men in the ancient art of golden-eagle hunting. They don’t hunt eagles, but rather use the revered golden eagle as their tool — and form a close bond with the bird of prey along the way.
