I have heard of stories of hunting eagles since my childhood. They exist in varies part of the world. Some hunters had been using this hunting method for centuries. The stories I have heard were about hunting rabbits. I guess the hunting eagle have the same type of relationship with the owner as a hunting dog. They aren't exactly pets, but rather a good helper, probably even more so than a hunting dog, since hunting dog is often used to track down prey for the hunters to shoot at, while the hunting eagle is the one doing all the work lol.
It is nice to have an eagle. I have had the imagination of having an eagle on my arm or on my shoulder when I was a kid.
