They are not something to hang on the wall like a carpet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, golden eagles are already awesome hunters with their keen eyesight (10 times sharper than humans), seven-foot wingspan and razor-sharp talons.&nbsp; So, one doesn\u2019t need to teach \u2018em to hunt per se.&nbsp; What these raptors need to learn is how to hunt as a team with a human, often on horseback, and that is no small feat. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To start, the Burkitshi need to snatch a female eaglet from a nest which, because there are few trees in the mountains, is usually perched in a precarious position on a high, rocky cliff.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hunter must ascend sheer rock walls with nothing but an old rope around his waist \u2014 I didn\u2019t see any modern climbing gear in the video: no harness, crampons or carabiners \u2014 and a \u201cbrave heart,\u201d as the one hunter put it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/hunt365-flambeaus-gunning-series-decoys\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-hunting-golden-eagles-mongolia\" title=\"Hunting with Golden Eagles in the Mountains of Mongolia\"> Flambeau\u2019s Gunning Series Decoys<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A female eaglet is preferred because they are larger and stronger than the male eagles.&nbsp; An adult female can takedown a full-size fox whereas an adult male can only deliver smaller game such as mice and marmots. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One must care for their eaglet like a baby; keeping it in a warm, secure place during the frigid winters were temps plummet to -40 degrees F.&nbsp; Over time, the hunter will develop a strong bond with his bird.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, it takes about five years before one earns the title of eagle hunter.&nbsp; That\u2019s a big commitment.&nbsp; But for the elders, it seems to be totally worth it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t describe how fun it is to go out hunting.&nbsp; All unpleasant things disappear,\u201d said the one eagle hunter in an ABC News report, who was hoping his son would learn the ropes before he went off to college in the modern world.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s also fascinating is that after a 4 to 10-year stint as a hunting partner, the Burkitshi reward their eagles by releasing them back out into the wild so that they may reproduce and live out the rest of their days as a&#8230; free bird.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After watching the brief 60 Minutes segment (embedded above), I quickly went down the rabbit hole and watched other videos online that covered the topic in greater depth.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The one I\u2019ve embedded below is probably the most comprehensive, although not the best video quality.&nbsp;Check it out if you have time.  Three eagles take down a fox at around the 16:00 minute mark.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watching these raptors in action makes one realize that while a modern fox hunter has an advantage with a scoped rifle or crossbow, it still doesn&#8217;t compare to that of seasoned Kazakh and his golden eagle.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***&nbsp;<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watching these raptors in action makes one realize that while a modern fox hunter has an advantage with a scoped rifle or crossbow, it still doesn&#8217;t compare to that of Kazakh and his golden eagle.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":115,"featured_media":119314,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,1273,1217,992],"tags":[1276],"featured":[4081],"hunt365":[4089],"class_list":{"0":"post-119313","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-huntnews","9":"category-hunt365","10":"category-specialty-publications","11":"tag-huntnews","12":"featured-row3","13":"hunt365-hunting"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Hunting with Golden Eagles in the Mountains of Mongolia<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hunting with hounds is cool.
