Hunting with eagles is a traditional form of falconry found throughout the Eurasian Steppe, practised by ancient Khitan and Turkic peoples. Today it is practised by Kazakhs and the Kyrgyz in contemporary Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, as well as diasporas in Bayan-Ölgii Provinces Bayan-Ölgii, Mongolia, and Xinjiang, China. Though these people are most famous for hunting with golden eagles, they have been known to train northern goshawks, peregrine falcons, saker falcons, and more.

In Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, and before, and now they hunt with the help of golden eagles. These birds tamed by man are excellent hunter's assistants. There are even competitions for the extraction of a fox or a hare with the help of a golden eagle. Such hunters are called berkutchi. There are about a hundred of them in Kazakhstan. Scientists during the excavations found the bones of golden eagles in the sites of primitive people. Thus, archaeological sensations proved that fishing for small animals with the help of birds of prey was popular among the Turkic peoples three millennia ago. This ancient method of hunting was described in detail in the book of the traveler from Venice, Marco Polo, who lived in the thirteenth century.
