Chapter 140 The Big Black Hawk is out of the net
Some people may be confused when seeing this. Didn’t catching eagles before involve using hand-pulled nets or self-cast nets, with pigeons placed as bait to catch eagles?
Why is the old method no longer used now, and people are using condoms instead?

The old method Yue Feng used to catch eagles in the mountains in autumn has failed many times, and the big black eagle will definitely not be fooled.

If you want to catch an eagle, you have to change your strategy.

What’s the matter with setting a trap for an eagle?
This method of catching eagles is actually very rare in the country.

If we really want to trace the origin, in fact, this way of playing, like Pai.com, is something that was introduced from abroad.

How do foreign bird of prey enthusiasts capture more representative falcons such as the peregrine falcon?
What is used is not the traditional self-falling net or hand-pulled net in China, but a very simple thing.

A big fat meat-eating pigeon is put in a small vest on its back. A very strong and lightweight board is fixed on it. A series of densely packed small holes are punched on the board, and then a slip-knotted loop is hand-tied in each hole.

In this way, when the falconer finds traces of peregrine falcons in the wild, he will throw out the big fat pigeons to attract the peregrine falcons to attack actively.

Big fat pigeons have poor flying ability and can be easily shot down and captured by peregrine falcons in mid-air.

Although the peregrine falcon can even take on large birds of prey like the golden eagle when it gets angry, in fact, their long and narrow wings make them very poor at flying and carrying heavy objects and staying in the air.

After catching a fat pigeon weighing more than two or three pounds, even a large female peregrine falcon, most of them will land as quickly as possible to eat and then fly away, leaving behind a pile of debris.

It is this mechanism that makes it possible to catch eagles with a noose.

Peregrine falcons have superb flying skills and can easily catch fat pigeons used as bait. However, their claws are caught by the noose on their backs, and the falcon cannot carry such a heavy pigeon and has no choice but to land.

At this time, the falconers who had been observing began to take action. They only needed to find the place where the peregrine falcon landed and they could easily catch the eagle.

The bait that Yue Feng was going to use for the snare was not a pigeon, but the string of wild boar entrails hanging on the tree.

With more of these slipknot noose, the success rate of catching an eagle will definitely be very high. No matter how smart the big black eagle is, it will never understand that a tiny tire line can make it completely deprive of its freedom.

Yue Feng was ready. He carried his gun and dragged the sled up the mountain alone.

The two wild boars at home were dragged into the water with a sled. Today’s target is very clear, which is Area 13 where the eagles were active yesterday.

As soon as the day dawned, Yue Feng arrived at the place where he had hung the wild boar in the water yesterday. After some observation, Yue Feng was sure that the eagle had definitely not returned.

Yue Feng tied more than twenty nooses of various sizes around the remaining heart, liver and other internal organs. If the eagle dared to land there, it would definitely be caught.

After finishing the work, Yue Feng chose two relatively open locations suitable for observation and where the environment was more suitable for ambush. He put the two traps into the water and hung them on the trees, and used the same trick to set up a lot of traps.

After all the preparations were completed, Yue Feng took off the 56mm half from his shoulder and fired a shot into the sky.

boom!
A gunshot rang out, and the echo echoed through the mountains and forests.

On the branch of a big red pine tree in the distance, a big black eagle with its head tucked under its wings, which had not yet woken up, immediately tightened its fluffy black and gold feathers after hearing the gunshots in the distance, yawned like a human, and then suddenly took off on the branch and flew towards the direction where the gunshots came from.

After Yue Feng fired the shot, he immediately hid in the dense forest, shrunk his neck, hid behind a big tree, and quietly observed the situation around him.

After waiting for about 15 minutes, the familiar black shadow folded its wings and landed not far from the water on the tree.

Big Black Hawk looked around but found neither bloodstains on the ground nor the carcass of the prey. The only thing he found was a string of wild boar offal hanging on a tree branch in a conspicuous place.

The water was the same pile of snow that was left over from the last pig hunt and buried in the snow without being cleaned up. It had already frozen hard.

The big black eagle looked up at the pig going into the water, then leaped up and flew towards the tree branch.

Seeing this scene, Yue Feng’s heart was completely gripped.

Go up! Step up!

Step on a trap, and the job is done for today!!

Yue Feng prayed silently in his heart.

However, this time the big black eagle was much more cautious than yesterday. It was obvious that the branch Yue Feng had chosen was a good place for him to land and feast on a large pile of animal organs, but he only landed on a clean spot next to the branch. After looking up and down at the offal hanging on the branch, he did not even try to take a bite. He flapped his wings and flew high, quickly disappearing into the blue sky.

“What the hell? Could it be that this eagle is so smart that it can see through the traps I put on its flesh? That shouldn’t be the case.”

The tire line is not conspicuous, and Yue Feng even deliberately dyed it with blood, so at first glance, it is not noticeable at all.

Yue Feng carefully recalled every detail of what had just happened, from the eagle rushing over after hearing the gunshots, to its observations after landing, to its flight onto the tree branches to take a close look at those who had fallen into the water, and then to its flapping wings and flying away.

From the big black eagle’s body movements and eyes, Yue Feng knew that there must be something wrong, but he was not sure which specific link was the cause.

“Is it because there are too many condoms and it’s too obvious? Next time, I’ll use fewer condoms and try another method!”

Yue Feng muttered to himself, then took the pig’s offal hanging on the tree down from the water, loaded it back onto the sled, and pulled it away, heading towards another trap that had been set up in advance.

Yue Feng summed up his previous experience and readjusted the mechanism of the second eagle-catching noose. He removed all the dense noose that relied on numbers and replaced them with another type of trigger-type noose that was used to catch shrike as bait.

After making sure everything was done perfectly according to his highest standards, Yue Feng raised his gun and pulled the trigger again.

As expected, the big black eagle that flew from afar appeared again in less than five minutes.

This time it did not fold its wings and land immediately, but hovered in the sky above the gunshot.

Yue Feng hid under a big pine tree and did not move, fearing that he would be discovered by the sharp eagle eyes if he was not careful.

Ten minutes later, the big black eagle, having confirmed that there was no danger, landed again. After observing the snow, it found the internal organs hanging on the tree branch again.

This time it was even more straightforward. The big black eagle didn’t even land on the tree branch. Instead, it looked up for a few seconds, then took off from the spot and flew away again.

Now, Yue Feng was completely at a loss.

Damn, could this big black eagle have become a spirit?

This time, Yue Feng only carefully set up a noose and buried it very carefully next to the pig heart.

Not to mention the eagle, even if a living person came to see it, he would definitely not be able to find the existence of the trap at first glance. This big black eagle is too mysterious, is it possible that Xiaowen said that this eagle can do some weird things beyond the scope of science?

wrong! It shouldn’t be!

If it was really that smart, after the Black Hawk discovered the mechanism under Yuefeng when it first entered the water, it would definitely know that someone was trying to catch it!
The eagle would never land on the ground, let alone look up to observe the pile of animal entrails.

There must be something wrong, there must be a problem somewhere!
At this time, the CPU in Yue Feng’s little brain was almost at its maximum.

Could it be that this big black eagle only eats fresh food? Would it not eat this kind of frozen and stale food?
In nature, many predatory animals have similar habits. Given a choice, many animals only eat live food, such as the active lynxes in Changbai Mountain.

“Fuck! I don’t believe it anymore. I’m going to do the whole thing this time! I don’t believe you won’t be fooled!”

Yue Feng gritted his teeth, pulled the sled, tied the pigs into the water, and set off again.

Yue Feng really guessed it right. This Changbai Mountain street urchin was living a better and better life. He was not only picky about food, but also only liked to eat fresh offal that had just been slaughtered and not completely frozen.

Yue Feng went up the mountain alone, without any companions or dog. But at least he had a gun with him, so he still had a chance to get something on the mountain.

Look, he was dragging his sled, moving slowly along a ridge, while always keeping an eye out for traces of prey on the ground.

After wandering around in the woods for over an hour, he didn’t find any fresh traces. Just when Yue Feng was so cold that his nose was about to run, he suddenly saw a blue-gray shadow flash by under the ridge.

Yue Feng immediately stood still, squinting his eyes and observing carefully. After seeing the animals on the sunny side of the slope, Yue Feng immediately grinned.

What you wish for will come true. Zhengchou can’t find his prey, and you show up!

It was neither a wild boar nor a rabbit. On the hillside several dozen meters away, three roe deer were gnawing on the bark and twigs next to the snow pile.

Yue Feng did not go up the mountain to hunt today. He did not intend to catch all three roe deer, so he simply found a tree trunk to stand on and assist in aiming, and pulled the trigger at the largest roe deer with slightly clear hair on its back.

Boom!

With two consecutive shots, the roe deer was hit in the heart area between its front legs. It fell to the ground without moving.

When the remaining two roe deer heard the gunshots, the white hair on their buttocks immediately turned into a heart shape, and they spread their long legs and ran away.

Yue Feng was thinking about catching the eagle, but he had no time to observe whether the remaining two roe deer would run away or stay. These creatures were very stupid. If Yue Feng was determined, he could even keep all three roe deer.

But now I have something important to do and I don’t have time to follow the trail.

Yue Feng swiftly took out the knife from his waist and quickly bled and gutted the roe deer weighing about 80 to 90 kilograms.

After completing the routine work, Yue Feng took out the tire wire from his bag and set up another trigger trap to catch the shrike.

After everything was done, Yue Feng dragged the roe deer by its hind legs and left the crime scene directly.

Wouldn’t it be too picky to use the frozen offal to make the condom?
I’ll make a fake for you!!
You know what, Yue Feng really guessed it right this time!
Early in the morning, the big black eagle, which had chased the gunshots twice and ended up not having a single bite of food in its stomach, arrived again as promised after hearing two consecutive gunshots.

It was the same routine as before, circling and observing, folding wings and descending, observing again on the ground to make sure there was no danger, and after finding the roe deer’s internal organs hanging on the tree, this time he jumped directly onto the roe deer’s water which was still emitting heat.

Before the eagle could even eat the meat, the huge eagle’s claw just landed on the roe deer entering the water. There was a crisp snap, and the noose mechanism set by Yue Feng was triggered. The snap hook directly locked the big black eagle’s thick claw.

Quack, quack, quack!

The big black eagle caught in the noose had no time to eat meat and was about to flap its wings and fly away. However, Yue Feng used three strands of tire wire soaked in lard to set the noose. It was very strong and could not break free at all.

Yue Feng, who was hiding in the woods far away, heard the “ga ga ga” cry of the big black eagle. He was too lazy to drag the sled and rushed to the trap location at the speed of a 100-meter sprint with his gun.

When Yue Feng walked up to the big black eagle, the precious gyrfalcon that Yue Feng had been thinking about so much began to struggle even more violently.

The powerful wings flapped desperately, trying to break free from the ropes on the feet, but no matter how hard he struggled, it was still in vain.

The huge eagle, hanging upside down on the rope, looked somewhat helpless.

Yue Feng took out gloves and a hawk-tightening coat from his bag. After he was fully armed, he slowly walked up to the big black eagle. He first controlled the two legs of the big black eagle, then tightened its wings. After making sure that the eagle was completely under control in his hands, he carefully untied the noose on the eagle’s claws.

Judging from a distance, this big black hawk must be more than three and a half pounds. After actually holding it in my hand, it feels even heavier than expected.

The black feathers on its body are as black as ink. The feathers on its wings and tail even feel like metal when touched. When it opens and closes, you can clearly hear the friction sound of the feathers.

Looking at the claws of this big black eagle, they are bluish-white in color and in the shape of a cross. Even the thinnest edge claws are a whole circle thicker than those of a normal standard eagle.

The big black eagle, which was completely in Yue Feng’s hands, did not intend to surrender. While Yue Feng was temporarily fixing it with his eagle coat, he kept trying to attack with his sharp beak.

The beaks of falcons and other birds of prey are already very sharp. The beak of this big black eagle is even sharper than the sharpest beak of a hunting falcon that Yue Feng has ever seen.

The work gloves made of cowhide were torn open by the sharp beak of the big black eagle.

According to this attack power, this big black eagle can easily tear the fur of roe deer, small and medium-sized deer and other prey to eat the meat without any help. If its prey is a rabbit, it does not need to remove the fur to eat the rabbit meat, and can tear the rabbit’s skin in one bite.

This meow is so scary!

After spending more than ten minutes, Yue Feng finally suppressed his excitement and temporarily restrained this precious black eagle with the eagle coat.

Yue Feng didn’t want to get the roe deer on the tree into the water anymore. He held the eagle in both hands, went to the woods to find his sled, pulled it up and went straight home.

Two hours later, Yue Feng pulled the sled back home.

Before the man entered the yard, his father Yue Lei had already come out on crutches when he heard the dog barking at home.

“What’s up, Xiaofeng? Did you catch him?”

Yue Feng patted the bag under his armpit and said, “Hey, I got it! This big baby is too smart. It won’t eat frozen food. I had to go through so much trouble on the mountain for several times. In the end, I finally killed a roe deer. I used the fresh roe deer to set the noose and finally caught the eagle!”

“Let’s go inside and take a look! What kind of big black eagle is that!” After hearing that his son had successfully caught an eagle, Yue Lei didn’t even care about the big roe deer with green fur tied to the sled, and pulled his son into the house.
