I saw a programme with wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan where he spent some time with a tribe of Mongolian's that used hawks for hunting. That whole series was really good (Tribes, Predators and Me). Worth a watch and Buchanan us a superb cameraman, and seems to be a guy with a real respect for nature and what he's capturing.

I've seen him in a lot of stuff and that pod with the Polar Bear was something else. Respect where respect is due, he is brilliant at what he does but I always thought he came across as a bit relfrighteous, smug and not very likeable (trying hard not to use bad words here).
