I had been on a journey to the border between Kazakstan and Mongolia, among the Altai's mountain, heading to the local Kazakhs Muslim community in search of a certainer person.... The honorable "Burgedchins" in Kazakhs word.... "Burgedchin" or "Eagle Hunters" are pride hunters who inherit their hunts with their Golden eagle for more than 250 years. Trained to hunt since 10 years old in a harsh extreme environment with their eagles on a horse back. At -40 Celsius degree, only strong survives. This became the bond between hunters and his predators. With Kazakhs superb hunting skills experience altogether with an expert natural predator, the friendship is born. Present day, there are still 250 hunters exist in a whole country. City and modern civilization is now approaching. Technology attract teenagers and grown-up starts to go outside and find a better job. But as long as there are people who respect and proud in their way of life, the screaming of the Golden eagles will still remain in the great Altai.
