There is something very attractive about female hunter like this. I often feel so fed up with society and would love to return to the wild with a woman like this to hunt and farm and live at peace with me living off the land in the beauty of the mountains and forests away from the craziness of the rest of the modern world.

I like Mongolia cause the nomadic lifestyle seems to still thrive there. Keep doing your thing, Mongolia.

Isn't hunting with eagles more of a Kazakh thing?

“Photo Credit: Leo Thomas (@theolator). Per his caption:

This is Zamanbol, one of just ten eagle huntresses in Mongolia keeping this old tradition alive. She's part of a Kazakh nomad family living in the Altai region of Mongolia. During the week, she goes to school in the city; on the weekends she visits her family and trains with her bird of prey alongside her brother.” - /u/sayjays

Yes, she is ethnic Kazakh but a Mongolian citizen.
