Kazakh eagle hunters (Mongolia). HUMANKIND, my premium, limited-edition, museum-quality standard book featuring over 200 large-format photos. Available on my website: https://robertopazziphoto.com Kazakh eagle hunters are a group of skilled hunters from the Kazakh ethnic group, primarily found in the western regions of Mongolia. The practice of eagle hunting is a central part of their cultural heritage and identity, passed down through generations among the Kazakh people for centuries. Eagle hunters typically capture and train female golden eagles because they are larger and more aggressive than their male counterparts. The training is a meticulous and time-consuming process used by hanters to establish a strong bond with their eagles. To hunt, the hunter typically releases the eagle from a high point. The eagle circles in the sky, scanning for potential prey. When a suitable target is spotted, the hunter gives a command, and the eagle swoops down to capture it. The hunting season for Kazakh eagle hunters typically takes place during the colder months of the year, from late autumn to early winter. Eagle hunters wear traditional clothing, including fur-lined coats and hats, to protect themselves from the harsh winter conditions. A special leather gauntlets is used to protect their arms when handling the eagles. Eagle hunting is not only a practical skill but also holds immense cultural significance for the Kazakh people. It is often celebrated through festivals and competitions, such as the Golden Eagle Festival, where eagle hunters showcase their skills and the bonds they have with their eagles.

Just the other day I saw a documentary about these Mongolian trainers and hunters, I was very pleased to know that after a certain number of years, eagles are released into the wild. Congratulations on the shot
