Interesting article on a real-life hunter with pet. A Kazakh girl who hunts traditionally with her golden eagle:

Ya that's really cool. I have a friend the flacons but a golden eagle is going to bring in bigger lunch then a duck lol. Try a whole deer. I love the concept of hunting with an animal. That's why I can't wait to be in a position where I can raise my boar dogs

I'm personally not fond of the idea of using animals to hunt. I believe if an animal is to be killed it should be put down as quickly and humanely as possible (though I expect that eagle kills rabbits pretty much instantly). But this article depicted such an amazingly different way of life and a really cool young person.

Cool video :3

Well deer are big and all we used to have an forty-pound eagle that killed 300-pound birds ;) But I don't think you could hunt with that :lol: With all the Maori legends on them the chances of them hunting people are high too @>@

I for one am glad our bird overlords died out :lol:

I do all my hunting at the supermarket :3

Those extinct kiwi eagles were amazing. I wish I could have seen them, just not up close :)

I like how at the end it says the eagles go back to the wild so they have them for generations to come :)
