Sayat – Nomadic hunting with eagles
Today I want to tell you about the secrets of hunting with a golden eagle, which we inherited from our ancestral nomads. In this episode, we will visit the Golden Eagle Hunting Center.
Nomads considered themselves children of nature. In the hunting business, the main thing was not a prize for hunting for them. Sayat, the so-called hunting with birds means also competition and relaxation for them. Today the sayat has become a national sport.
