Picture of the Day

Medal of Honor recipient, Master Sergeant Roy Benavidez. He had 37 puncture wounds, exposed intestine, broken jaw, and eyes caked in blood. He was pronounced dead until he spit in the face of a doctor who was zipping him up in a body bag.

A devout Catholic, Benavidez was attending prayer services on May 22, 1968 when he heard a desperate radio plea, “Get us out of here! For God’s sake, get us out!” The cry for assistance came from a 12-man Special Forces Recon team. They had stumbled upon an entire infantry battalion of the Vietnam People’s Army (NVA) of perhaps 1,000 men.

Young Mongolian Girl with her Hunting Golden Eagle

During the communist period in Kazakhstan, many Kazakhs fled for Mongolia to avoid being forced to abandon their nomadic lifestyle and sent to collective farms.

They settled in Bayan-Ölgii Province and bringing with them their tradition of hunting with eagles.

There are an estimated 250 eagle hunters in Bayan-Ölgii, which is located in the Altai Mountains of western Mongolia.

Their falconry custom involves hunting with golden eagles on horseback, and they primarily hunt red foxes and corsac foxes.

They use eagles to hunt foxes and hares during the cold winter months when it is easier to see the gold colored foxes against the snow.

Each October, Kazakh eagle hunting customs are displayed at the annual Golden Eagle Festival.

Although the Kazakh government has made efforts to lure the practitioners of these Kazakh traditions back to Kazakhstan, most Kazakhs have remained in Mongolia.
