Kazakhs have a long history of using birds of prey to hunt foxes, wolves, and other animals and that tradition continues to this day. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, competitive hunters from other countries, such as Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia, were not able to participate. (Photo by Pyotr Trotsenko/Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty)
