“Fuck, such a big buck was killed so quickly!!

The deer is dead, brother, let’s continue chasing it, or just leave it here for now!!”

Xiao Tao checked the condition of the sika deer and asked casually.

“Xiao Tao, you and Xiao Wen stay here to take care of this big stag. Xiao Wu, follow me and continue chasing!”

Yue Feng and his men continued to chase forward, and soon they found a elk calf whose eyes had been blinded by a black eagle at the edge of a bush not far away.

The little guy’s eyes had turned into bloody holes. He must have bumped into the tree trunk next to him. He was in a listless state and was huddled there, shaking constantly.

“Don’t worry about this one, go check ahead first!”

As Yue Feng Xiaowu continued to pursue, one sika deer after another was discovered.

The remaining three elks were either blinded by eagles and hit their heads against trees, half dead, or suffocated to death by the dogs biting their necks.

There were five deer in a herd, and none of them ran away. All of them were kept alive by the cooperation of the eagle and the dog.

After finding the last doe that was killed by a dog, Yue Feng bent down and took out the leg gouge from her calf.

“Brother, should we kill these three deer whose eyes were pecked out?
From what I can see, it seems that apart from the blindness, there is no other fatal injury!”

Xiaowu asked, holding the spare hemp rope in his hand.

Yue Feng pondered for a moment and said, “Let’s bleed the dead deer first, and then study the blind one after that!”

Soon, the two brothers bled the doe and processed its internal organs.

After a series of chases and fierce battles, the eight dogs now lay beside each other, gasping for breath.

After seeing their master taking out the heart, liver and internal organs of the doe, the big black eagle and little white eagle landed in front of the deer, calling out “ga ga ga” and asking for food.

“Big Black Eagle, Little White Spear, you two are awesome! Come on, let’s eat some deer heart first!”

Yue Feng was in a very good mood at the moment. After the running-in period, the hawk-dog brigade was working very efficiently.

Soon, Yue Feng cut the deer heart meat into slices and fed them to Big Black Eagle. Big Black Eagle stopped eating when he was 60% full. Next came Little White Spear, and then Gouzi from the Dog Gang.

When feeding the dogs with deer entrails, Yue Feng also made fine adjustments to the order.

Previously, Black Wolf and Da Huang were the head dogs and were given priority to eat. Today, Yue Feng consciously adjusted the order.

At this moment, Canglong’s actual combat performance had surpassed those of the Dog Gang’s predecessors in terms of both his physical hardware and software combat IQ, so Yue Feng fed Canglong first.

When the feeding order is changed by the owner, the status of the head dog changes, and many dogs will have a resistance reaction.

For example, he will attack the dog that is eating food in front of him but whom he does not approve of in his heart.

But today, Black Wolf and Big Yellow both behaved very calmly after seeing that their owner fed Canglong first.

This also means that Canglong’s performance in actual combat has been recognized by the senior leaders.

It’s a bit sad to think that half a year ago, Black Wolf was still licking the fur of Canglong and his group of puppies that were less than one year old, and now a dog that is over one year old has successfully taken the position.

After a busy schedule, all eight dogs got their food and lay down to chew their food. Yue Feng then had time to study the sika deer whose eyes had been blinded by the eagle.

After preliminary examination, none of the elk suffered irreversible serious injuries such as broken cervical vertebrae.

After some thought, Yue Feng decided to tie up the sika deer and carry it back to the camp later.

The harvest of five large and small red deer was worth a lot of money just in terms of value. Even if they returned home now, it would be worth going so far to hunt.

But Yue Feng was still a little unsatisfied. It was not easy to come out, and he had only searched a very small area, and he had not even searched the surrounding mountains!

In the following time, the four members of the hunting team went back one by one, dragging or carrying all five elk back to the temporary camp.

When he caught a blind deer for the first time last year, Yue Feng learned from Uncle Zhao how to take care of these animals.

These wild animals are actually very tenacious. As long as they have enough water, they will at most lose some weight in a short period of time. Even if they are tied up in an open air environment, they will not freeze to death.

The two slaughtered deer were directly cut into large pieces, wrapped in deerskin and buried in the snow pile beside the camp.

After Yue Feng simply treated the eye injuries of the two half-grown fawns and a doe, he used cloth strips to wrap around the ears on their heads to block most of their hearing.

This is a trick I learned from Uncle Zhao.

After being cut off from vision and hearing, the deer’s ability to perceive the outside world will be greatly reduced, so they will be more obedient. After a few days of human guidance and training to adapt briefly, they can even be led to move.

It has been mentioned more than once before that every part of a deer is a treasure. If it is slaughtered in the mountains, things like its blood will be wasted, and the quality of the meat will inevitably drop a lot. But if you can bring it back alive, the profit will be much higher.

After much hesitation, Yue Feng decided to try this method of blocking hearing and vision to drive away the blind and deaf deer.

If successful, on the way back, at least we can save a lot of transportation capacity and just lead the deer back.

By the time we finished dealing with and settling the five deer we shot today, it was already past three in the afternoon, and the sun would set in more than an hour.

Everyone decided not to go out for a walk, but to cut down a few more dead trees and chop some firewood to prepare for the night and go to bed early.

While Xiao Tao and Xiao Wu went to get firewood, Yue Feng took out some salt from the tent, dissolved it in a cup of warm water, and then brought it to the blind and deaf sika deer tied next to the camp.

These unfortunate guys were so frightened by the hawks and dogs that after returning to the camp and untying the ropes that bound their legs, they lay on the ground in a listless state.

Yue Feng slowly approached, then gently soothed her, and brought warm water with salt to her mouth to try one by one.

The three deer, including the two half-grown elk calves, all tried to accept the salt water feeding. After they drank a few sips of water, Yue Feng tried again. He held the basin of water upwards and guided the two calves to stand up staggeringly.

Yue Feng held the rope that tied the deer and slowly tried to guide it to move. At first, it was too scared to move. After several attempts, the first elk calf finally took its first step.

Seeing this scene, Yue Feng felt relieved.

Although the process was a bit tortuous, the method taught by Uncle Zhao was useful.

In the next few days, we just need to give them a little training and once these deer get used to being led away, it won’t be a problem to bring them back alive.

After a series of attempts, Yue Feng tied up the three live sika deer again and went into the tent rubbing his hands.

“Brother Feng! You are outside with the water basin and the leash, what are you planning to do? I see you even got your ears tangled up with a deer!” Xiao Tao casually threw the rafter into the small stove and asked curiously.

“No big deal, I’ll try the method that the old man told me about taming and migrating blind and deaf deer!

It has had some effect. One of the braver ones can walk four or five steps under the leash! After two days of getting used to it, it will save energy when I go back to leash it!”

“Oh! I thought so, covering your ears and feeding you water!
Let’s stew venison tonight! I cut off the front leg of a big male deer!” Xiao Tao suggested.

“Let’s stew it! We caught the meat ourselves, so we can eat it whenever we want!
But let me make it clear first, the meat of this big male deer is very nutritious and can be stewed as a meal. If you eat too much, you may get a nosebleed, but don’t worry!”

“Hehe, it’s so cold, how can it be hot? Let’s make a big pot today. I want to see if I get a nosebleed!”

……

Soon, the fresh venison was cut into pieces and thrown into the pot. Xiao Tao added wood from time to time to keep the fire burning.

As the sky just began to get dark, the venison in the pot began to emit an aroma. When the venison was cooked, the brothers didn’t hesitate to grab some with their hands and start chewing on it, with their mouths full of oil.

The nosebleed caused by eating too much was originally just a joke, but after eating venison that night, Xiao Tao really had a nosebleed.

This guy has the best physique, and the tonic effect is manifested faster, so he no longer dares to show off.

The meat of two deer was buried in the snow beside the camp. Yue Feng was worried that the smell of blood would attract predators in the old forest at night, so he emphasized to his brothers that they should not close their eyes or be lazy while on duty at night.

After all, it would be dark in less than five days, so they would start to rest after eating and drinking at around seven o’clock. The rest time was extremely long, and Yue Feng was not worried that everyone would not get enough sleep.

However, the worry is somewhat unnecessary.

After the hunting team and the dog gang’s hawks and dogs made a lot of noise during the day, when people went to sleep at night, the noise around the camp was obviously much quieter than the previous night.

Needless to say, Yue Feng also knew that this was the result of some small animals being startled by the noise made by the hunting of the dog gang and the falcon, and moving to other areas.

Nothing happened that night. Yue Feng woke up early the next morning and came out of the tent.

Three tied sika deer huddled together for warmth, their bodies covered with frost and snow.

After feeling the slight vibration caused by Yue Feng’s approach, the three elk captives who had rested for the night struggled to stand up from the ground.

Seeing that the three deer had stood up, Yue Feng was in a good mood. He returned to the tent, melted some salt with snow water, and added some compressed biscuits cooked in the pot. He used the same trick again to equip the deer and continued to try the taming operation.

Deer in the wild have a great demand for salt, but they do not have many opportunities to obtain salt.

In the warmer months of May and June when male deer grow new antlers, there will be medicinal deer hunters who make salt mixed with indescribable poison to hunt for antlers. This is the same principle used.

Now I am deaf and blind, and my ability to obtain information from the outside world has been greatly reduced.

There was warm salt water to drink, and the warm water also had the rich grain aroma of compressed dry food. The three deer no longer resisted and all drank the water. They were guided to follow behind the water basin, walked a dozen steps on the rope, turned a corner and returned to the place where the deer were tied.

This attempt made Yue Feng relax a lot. At least, he could adapt himself in the evening and pack up before going down the mountain the next day or the day after. The idea of ​​leading the deer down the mountain would most likely be realized.

After taking care of the hawks, dogs and deer in the camp, the breakfast in the pot was almost ready. Several people were woken up from their beds. After breakfast, the hunting team set out again with the hawks and dogs.

The deer footprints found at the bottom of the ditch were all caught yesterday. When we went out hunting today, we didn’t have a clear goal.

However, working in the deep mountains and forests without a goal can sometimes make it easier to obtain benefits beyond your expectations.

So, the hunting team went out and changed direction. After crossing several ditches and ponds, they found a very large stone-jumping pond.

The gurgling water of the mountain spring upstream was emitting white hot steam, forming a bubble at the bottom of Tiaoshitang ditch.

Further downstream, there are small terrains such as messy rocks and shrubs.

The rocky bottom meant that there were no sturdy trees in Tiaoshitang, but the small terrain, flowing water, and the occasional green plants on both sides of the stream made Yue Feng feel that this terrain was somewhat familiar.

Last year, when I was catching sables in Dalongjian at Xiatuozi Mountain near my grandma’s home, the terrain there was similar to this.

There might be sables around this jumping stone pond!
Thinking of this, Yue Feng began to search in his hunting bag.

Soon, a small piece of sable paw skin was found by Yue Feng.

Canglong, Dahuang, Heilang, come and smell it! !
The head dog called out the names one by one, and the three dogs all sniffed the scent of the sable paw skin and soon spread out to search everywhere.

The main force in catching sables last year was still Da Huang. This guy’s sense of smell is much stronger than that of the black wolf. It was almost all Da Huang’s credit for discovering the holes under the snow shells.

But this year is different. Canglong has made some initial progress as a master in the mountain and is now close to maxing out his skill proficiency. After smelling the scent of the sable, he immediately began to look for it excitedly.

Woof woof woof! !

Less than ten minutes after the three dogs spread out, Canglong spoke first.

I saw it lowering its head and locking onto a snow crust on a small slope. After barking several times in succession, it used its front paws to scratch at the snow crust.

After digging for a while, they actually found a hole underneath.

This cave is not a naturally formed stone cave like the one on Blind Camel Mountain, but was dug out later.

The gravel and soil in the cracks between the stones extend inside, but no one knows how far it goes, and it is also unclear where it leads to underneath.

“Hey! There’s a stone cave under the snow here too! Xiao Tao, it’s your turn to work, go to the blasting team!”

Yue Feng called out to him and Xiao Tao immediately took out two firecrackers from his bag.

It was the same operation as last year. After finding the entrance to the hole, two firecrackers were fired in the front, one firecracker was used to knock open the soil at the back, and the other firecracker was connected to the back of the first firecracker.

When you put it in and light it, you will get the pungent smell of burning gunpowder and the sound stimulation of the explosion.

Bang! Bang!
There was a muffled sound, and yellow smoke immediately came out from the other side of the cave, less than five meters away.

The next second, a large male sable came out from where the yellow smoke was coming out and ran towards the sunny slope.

“The sable is out! Black Wolf, come on, and take him alive!!” Yue Feng shouted and blew the whistle immediately.

The big black eagle in the sky had been circling overhead for a long time. It swooped down and easily knocked the big mink to the ground with its wings.

The black wolf quickly followed and rushed forward, taking advantage of the sable’s fall and struggle to get up, bit the back of the neck and captured it alive.

“Hey! We’re lucky today. We caught a sable right after arriving at such a big jumping pond! Black Wolf, bring the sable to me!!”

Yue Feng called out to him and the black wolf came over happily with the prey in its mouth. It finally had a chance to show off and its tail shook like an electric fan.

Yue Feng put on gloves and took the sable from the black wolf’s mouth. Everyone came over to take a look and immediately exclaimed.

The first sable this winter, and another top-quality one!! (End of this chapter)
