Caspian Sea

Unlike the middle belt hunters, Caspian hunters respect kashkaldak.
The village in which I was born and raised is in Azerbaijan, south of Baku, on the Caspian Sea, formerly it was called Duvanna, then renamed Gobustan, meaning “land of ravines and gorges” in translation. Nearby in the mountains is the Gobustan Reserve, which is known for its rock art, which has been preserved here since the Mesolithic period. Continue reading

What brought us together, I do not even remember. But it was with him, and hunting took place in the mountains.
Why do I want to start a story about hunting in Tajikistan with a turtle? Continue reading
