Chapter 351 Stepping in
Hearing Yue Feng mention musk deer, Uncle Chen nodded and said, “This thing was very common a few years ago! It’s not big, and there are two fangs in its mouth! It has no horns on its head, and is about the same size as a roe deer, or even smaller than a big male roe deer!

If you catch it dead, that’s easy, no matter if you use a noose or a clamp, you can catch it, but if you want to catch it alive, it’s a bit difficult!”

Hearing that it was difficult to capture him alive, Yue Feng grinned and said, “It may be difficult for others, but for me, it is much easier!
In terms of difficulty in catching sables alive, are they harder to catch than musk deer? This winter, I have caught 16 female sables with their cubs alive! “

“Huh? How did you catch them? They’re much smarter. If you want to catch them alive, you can only use traps. But if you want to catch so many at once, how many traps do you need?”

“Hehe, there’s no need for a cage. Have you forgotten that we have an eagle in our hands?! My big black eagle can catch wild boars, roe deer and deer, let alone the smaller musk deer!” Yue Feng said proudly.

After hearing this, Uncle Chen reacted immediately.

The last time I went to Yue Feng’s house, I saw that handsome black eagle. If we had it, it wouldn’t be that difficult to capture the musk deer alive!
“I forgot about this, what a great relationship!

Musk deer also go into heat during this season, and pairing continues until January at the latest. They give birth in May or June. If you go up the mountain to catch them during this season, there is a high probability that the female musk deer will have cubs in her belly!”

“Okay! I got it! If it doesn’t work this time, then let’s go to the Wild Boar Nest you told me about!
Do you know of any other places with musk deer? Tell me about them. If the results are good, I will bring more people to catch more musk deer! !
This time, I will not only take over the deer farm and the mink farm, but also the musk deer farm!!”

“Musk deer are timid and usually avoid areas where humans are active and are unwilling to stay there for long!

This thing has a den. Most of them like to stay in secret dens such as cracks in rocks during the day, and come out early in the morning and late at night to eat!

It, along with tiger cubs and mountain cats, are the most typical animals that appear in the Tiaoshitang terrain.

It can be said that in our back mountain, away from the village settlement and the forest radiation area, as long as there is no jumping stone pond terrain occupied by predators such as lynx and bobcat, preferably an environment with some flowing water, there is a high probability that musk deer will be active!

If you want to catch it, just lead the dog to find its scent mark. Male musk deer will use the scent in their scent sacs to mark their territory. With a dog, it is not difficult to find its lair!”

After hearing this, Yue Feng had a clear idea in his mind. The terrain like Tiaoshitang and small flowing canyon would definitely not grow the kind of huge trees that block out the sun.

Without the blockage of big trees, the Black Hawk has a certain geographical advantage in capturing musk deer alive.

This job can be done.

“Okay! I’ll give it a try later!”

……

After some consultation, it was time for dinner before they knew it. Yue Feng was thinking about going home to eat, but was stopped by Uncle Chen.

The old lady prepared a few more delicious dishes, and the father and son enjoyed themselves at home with food and drinks until 3:30 in the afternoon. Yue Feng said truthfully that he still had to train a new eagle to fly with bait in the evening, and only then did the old man let him go home.

After returning home, Yue Feng took a brief rest and then took Little White Eagle out of the village for training.

After going through the whole process of swinging the bait and flying, the little guy performed very stably when Yue Feng deliberately hid the bait. The flight radius of the fixed-point flying was about one hundred meters, and the altitude was seventy to eighty meters. It was a very good performance in the initial stage.

If there is something to talk about, it will be long; if there is nothing to talk about, it will be short. The next morning, the four brothers of the Yuefeng Hunting Team gathered at home early and had breakfast together. Then, without the dog, they took the big black hawk and took a small train to the forest farm to find Captain Guo Jianfeng.

After several consecutive times of using facial recognition to show his presence, the gatekeeper already knew Yue Feng. This time, he was not given any trouble at all. He simply mentioned it to him and did not even register as a visitor. He then took his people to the forest ranger team’s office in a dignified manner.

Here, Guo Jianfeng was bragging with his teammates by the fire in the dormitory room behind the office when there was a knock on the door.

“Is Brother Guo in the room?”

Hearing this, Guo Jianfeng immediately stood up from his chair: “My brother Yue Feng is here! He’s in the room, the door is not closed!”

Soon the door opened, revealing Yue Feng’s smiling face with two big white teeth bared.

“Brother Guo!”

“Hey! You’re here pretty early! Director Zhou mentioned to me about the New Year gifts. Shall we set off today?” Guo Jianfeng patted Yue Feng’s shoulder affectionately and asked.

“Is there any truck driver at the farm today? It would be best if it’s the driver surnamed Sun from last time! I’m thinking of going to the old forest to check out some spots. If there’s a truck to take us there, it would save a lot of time and make the round trip more comfortable!”

“You mean Sun Maocai? He should be here. Wait for me to call the dispatch department!”

Guo Jianfeng immediately turned around and went to the office to make a phone call. After some inquiries, he got the answer that the Jiefang truck that Sun Maocai was in charge of was on standby in the fleet today.

Captain Guo immediately applied to the dispatcher for the use of the car driven by Master Sun, and went to the open space outside the forest ranger team’s office to wait.

“Okay, it’s done. We’ll be here in ten minutes at the latest! Brothers from our forest protection team, are you going there today too?” Guo Jianfeng continued to ask. Yue Feng shook his head: “No, the main thing is to check out the location, see the terrain and get a general understanding of the situation! If everything goes well, we’ll start working officially from tomorrow!
By the way, I would like to ask, how many people can our forest ranger team provide while ensuring normal duty operations?

I heard from Director Zhou that in previous years it was around eight to ten people!”

Guo Jianfeng looked around and complained quietly, “He knows nothing!
For the time being, the total number of forest rangers is 36! Except for a few who are really inconvenient, there are at least 30 standing guards!
For normal patrol duty, there are six people in one shift, and two shifts only have 12 people. If you need more manpower, I can arrange about 18 people for you!
In the past, there was no benefit in giving gifts during festivals, and it was freezing cold when we went up the mountain. Ordinary hunters gave us gifts without asking for our help, and since no one was willing to go, we would just report fewer people to get the job done!
But it’s different if you are responsible, brother. You usually go up the mountain to hunt wild animals, and you always send them to us brothers. If we need people, I will go and organize them. It’s just a matter of words!
Who doesn’t want to go? We’ll eat meat together in the future, and he can just watch! We are all buddies who know each other well. That kind of person can’t stay in our forest ranger team!”

After listening to Captain Guo’s sharing of the actual situation, Yue Feng had a clear idea in his mind. He continued to ask: “What about the guns? Director Zhou told me that at most 5 guns can be provided! If there are 18 people, the guns are a little insufficient!”

“Don’t worry about this, I’m the captain of the forest ranger team, and my words are final.

“Except for the guns used for patrol and garrison duty, you can take away the rest of the guns in the gun cabinet. There will definitely be enough!”

“That’s settled!!” Yue Feng understood what was going on and nodded.

As we were talking here, we heard the roar of a truck coming from far away.

Soon, a familiar face pushed the door and walked in.

“Xiao Feng is here!”

Yue Feng nodded: “Yes, Brother Sun, I have to trouble you again today. Take us to check the location! We should be back in the afternoon! Let’s go to the end of Chaiji Road in Forest Area 42!”

“Okay, Director Zhou has already said hello, it’s a festival gift, and the gas tank has just been filled up! We’ll go wherever you say!”

At this point, you can see the benefits of making friends in advance. If you have people in your eyes, they will give you face at critical moments. The whole conversation process will be very straightforward without any nonsense.

“Then let’s go! Brother Guo, do you have anything to do today? If not, let’s go together!!” Yue Feng made the invitation.

“I’m fine. I’ll be on duty tonight! Give me a few minutes to arrange for the servants, and then we’ll be leaving!”

A few minutes later, Captain Guo arranged for the brothers on duty at home, and then put on a thick military coat and went to the truck with Yue Feng.

It took less than twenty minutes from arriving at the forest farm gate to riding on the truck out. This efficiency is unparalleled.

In the bed of a Jiefang truck, five people, like an eagle, were sitting on pieces of sacks spread on the floor of the truck. The cold wind was howling, but everyone was wrapped tightly in thick cotton coats, and they could still make jokes and brag along the way.

The cold is real, but the happiness is also real.

The truck drove for more than an hour and arrived at the destination around nine in the morning.

The outskirts of the wild boar den that Uncle Chen mentioned.

Five people got out of the car one after another, and Yue Feng knocked on Master Sun’s car window.

“Brother Sun, are you going to walk with us into the mountains, or are you waiting for us in the car? The car is parked here with the engine turned off, and it’s quite cold in the car!
If that doesn’t work, you can drop us off and go back first. Can you come back around 2 or 3 in the afternoon?”

Sun Maocai waved his hand: “You guys take care of yourselves, don’t worry about me! As long as the car is started, the cab won’t be cold, there is a heater! I’ll take a stroll around, there is lunch in the car, I can eat by myself if I’m hungry!”

“Okay then, let’s go check it out first!”

“You guys can go ahead. No matter what time you come back, I can definitely take you back! Just burn more gas. It’s official business anyway, so why should we be afraid if the field pays for it!”

“That’s it!”

As the saying goes, build the road when it is sunny and walk on it when it rains.

Originally, they could have gone back and stayed there to warm up, but out of the kindness of the meat and rice they had sent not long ago, they were willing to wait in the car for everyone to come back, to ensure that they could rush back immediately no matter how early or late they came back.

After saying hello to the driver, Yue Feng let the eagle go and took the three members of the hunting team, plus Guo Jianfeng, to stroll towards the core area of ​​the Ganzhangwei hunting ground.

After the heavy snow, the snow crust on the mountain was indeed frozen hard, but the snow was relatively thick, so the strength of a small part of the snow crust was still slightly weak.

When I stepped on the ground, the snow foam covered half of my feet, so I could still walk steadily. If I come tomorrow, I must bring skis if I want to increase my walking speed.

The wild animals are really thick around this wild boar den. We made a major discovery before we even crossed the first ditch after getting out of the car!
