Chapter 147 Dead Foot! Big Black Hawk’s amazing performance
This is also a forest farm that has been selectively felled. After large tracts of trees have been felled, only a few sparsely populated small trees are left. After the thick trees have been cut down, new branches sprout from under the stumps in the spring. These branches and buds are the favorite food of animals such as wild boars, roe deer, and deer.

When they arrived at the hunting ground, Yue Feng did not rush to take off his hat and release the hawk. Instead, he led the black wolf and searched around the area for any traces of the hawk.

According to Yue Feng’s understanding of the black hawk, the time a black hawk can hover above a person’s head is currently more than an hour and a half. If it performs well, two hours is no problem. If one wants to successfully become an eagle, it is best to find prey during this period of time.

Growing a falcon is actually equivalent to artificially creating opportunities for the falcon to hunt and giving the falcon relevant experience. Therefore, the first purpose of this kind of preliminary activity is definitely to increase the falcon’s practical hunting experience.

Otherwise, if the four members of Yue Feng’s team had taken four dogs and carried guns directly up the mountain, they would have gained more than they do now with just one Eagle as the main force.

Uncle Zhao was right. Black Wolf was actually a pretty good dog. After strolling around the field for a while, he soon found traces of roe deer.

The black wolf howled towards the distance, but Yue Feng refused to let go of the rope, so he could only calm it down forcibly.

Yue Feng did not rush to release the dog at this time, but took off the Black Hawk’s hat first.

Returning to the snow-covered mountain forest environment, the big black eagle behaved very calmly. Its feathers fluffed up and shook, and then it quickly spread its wings and flew into the sky.

The big black eagle was seen circling and climbing in the air, and in a very short time, it reached its usual training altitude. Seeing this, Yue Feng continued to hold the rope and give commands to the dog.

“Black Wolf, chase!!”

After receiving the order from its master, the black wolf immediately rushed towards the direction of Saolu.

Upon seeing this, Yue Feng took the dog and chased after the prey.

The big black eagle in the sky didn’t know at first what Yue Feng was going to do with the dog, but this was how he usually trained. After climbing to a certain height, he would try his best to follow above his owner’s head and wait for the whistle to blow, and then show the bait.

Now it’s just that there is a familiar dog and a few acquaintances that I see every day.

Just like that, the first test of Yue Feng’s practical training of hunting eagles officially began.

The dog followed the scent in front, and the man followed behind holding a rope. A Saker Falcon was flying overhead. Yue Feng only needed to blow a whistle every once in a while to make sure the falcon did not fly in too large a radius.

The chase lasted for more than half an hour. A group of old men, leading a dog, ran wildly in the mountains and forests. After climbing over a low ridge, they finally saw the traces of the prey.

It was exactly the same as Yue Feng’s previous judgment. The footprints on the ground were from roe deer. Now when he chased after them with the dog, he also found this group of roe deer. It looked like a small group of three roe deer, two large and one small.

Seeing that he had found his prey, Yue Feng immediately let go of the dog’s leash and then whistled loudly at the falcon in the sky.

At this critical juncture, Yue Feng’s heart was tightly gripped. All the training and preparation before were for this moment.

I just don’t know whether this big black eagle can recognize roe deer, and whether it is necessary for humans to feed the eagle with roe deer and let it roll around.

If the big black eagle hears the whistle but doesn’t see the bait, and it hovers in the air without doing anything, then it will be a lot of trouble to get the eagle to recognize its prey later.

However, Yue Feng’s worries did not last long as the answer came.

After releasing the dogs and blowing the whistle, the big black eagle immediately spotted the three escaping roe deer in mid-air.

Big Black Hawk saw that his little dog was leading the way in chasing the roe deer, and the four people behind him were also chasing closely. Big Black Hawk came up with an idea.

Could it be that my master wants me to catch this roe deer?

The next second, the people who were chasing on the south slope heard the low-frequency buzzing sound of a feather swooping down through the air at high speed.

Then I saw a black shadow swooping down from a height of one hundred meters at an extremely high speed and kicking the lone roe deer that was running away directly on the back of its head.

咻~~~
boom!
With a crisp sound, the roe deer, which was running normally a second ago, was kicked hard on the back of the head by the black eagle and fell directly to the ground.
With its head still covered, the big black eagle hit the roe deer with its first strike, turned back and rose twenty or thirty meters to swoop down for the second time, kicking the roe deer at the vital spot behind its ear.

The roe deer, which had been attacked by Haidong Qingying twice in a row, was buried in a snowdrift with its head down. Its four hooves began to twitch, and soon a large amount of dark red blood oozed out of its nose and mouth.

The big black eagle succeeded in two consecutive attacks. The memory of his original hunting in the mountains and forests emerged. Now that the prey has been caught, what is it waiting for? Of course, it wants to eat meat. It’s still hungry!
So, the big black eagle, which had won the battle, used its sharp beak to tear open the corner of the female roe deer’s mouth. It tore open the skin on the roe deer’s head without much effort, and ate the delicious roe deer’s eyes, head muscles, and hot blood with body temperature, bite by bite.

In less than three minutes, the black wolf followed the scent and came over. After seeing that the big black eagle had knocked down the roe deer and was feasting on it, it hesitated for a few seconds and did not dare to rush to the roe deer’s body to bite it.

It squatted there and waited very obediently, like a helper dog waiting for its master to distribute prey, not even daring to bark loudly.

Less than a minute later, Yue Feng and his brothers arrived.

Seeing the female roe deer weighing about 40 to 50 kilograms on the ground, and the big black eagle that was grabbing the roe deer’s head and feasting on it, Yue Feng let out a long breath. After so much effort, hunting roe deer in the selective logging forest was finally a success!
shhhhh!

Yue Feng whistled confidently, took off a leg splinter from his waist, and walked slowly to the fallen roe deer.

At this moment, the big black eagle was still showing off the meat on the roe deer’s head without raising its head.

In the past, this big black eagle always liked to be picky when eating the offerings from the mountain god. After being trained under Yue Feng for more than half a month, its picky eating habits have been completely changed. It would peck at the little bit of flesh and blood on the head of the roe deer, and it ate it with such relish.

From the time the eagle kicked the roe deer over to the time Yue Feng rushed over, it was only two or three minutes at most. The big black eagle’s stomach was already about 40% full.

Yue Feng did not try to snatch the roe deer on the ground at this moment. Instead, he whistled for food, cut a hole in the roe deer’s front leg with a knife, and fed the big black eagle the clean meat he brought with the roe deer’s blood.

The big black eagle had no resistance to Yue Feng’s feeding at this moment. He raised his head, took the meat roll, and swallowed it in big mouthfuls.

Yue Feng fed the eagle three rolls of meat in a row, then covered the eagle’s claws with his gloves and took out the eagle cap with his left hand. He blew the whistle, fed the meat, and then put on the cap. All the training subjects were completed in one go.

The big black eagle, which was half full, relaxed its feathers instantly after putting on its hat.

Yue Feng put the hawk on the ground, stood up, and called to Xiao Tao, “Xiao Tao, drain the roe deer’s blood and gut it! Feed it to the dogs!”

The brothers breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yue Feng put the eagle’s hat back on and set it up again.

“So cool! That swooping attack from the sky just now was so cool!”

Xiaowu did not hide his excitement at all, and stared at the Saker Falcon in Yue Feng’s hand for a long time.

Xiaowen also nodded excitedly: “It’s really amazing, such a small eagle can actually catch and kill a roe deer weighing 40 to 50 kilograms! Brother Feng, how did this eagle do it?
If we don’t have a gun, even if we are adults, we can’t guarantee that we can kill a roe deer this big with one blow even if we swing a stick! ”

“Yes, brother. How did this eagle kill a roe deer weighing forty or fifty kilograms! Just now I saw it swooping down from the sky, and then with a snap, the roe deer became unresponsive. The big black eagle turned over and swooped down again to attack. It only took two attacks and the roe deer was dead!” Xiao Tao asked as he was busy bleeding and opening the body with a knife.

Yue Feng smiled and explained: “The attack method of this falcon is different from that of an eagle. When an eagle catches pheasants, hares and other prey, it relies on the strength of its muscles and bones, while a falcon relies on height in exchange for speed.

You should have heard the low-frequency sound of the big black eagle swooping down from overhead just now, right?
The extremely high dive speed brings huge inertia!
Rather than saying that the roe deer was caught by the black eagle, it would be more accurate to say that it was kicked to death!! “

“Kicked to death?”

Yue Feng nodded: “Yes! If you don’t believe me, Xiao Tao, you can look for it. There must be at least one fatal wound on the head of this roe deer! When the big black eagle swooped down to attack just now, that crisp sound was the sound of the tiger’s paw behind its claws kicking the vital part!”

“Then I’ll look for it. I heard that sound too!”

After hearing the call, Xiao Tao immediately began to carefully observe and search on the roe deer’s head.

Soon, Xiao Tao found the fatal wound behind the roe deer’s ear.

“Found it! This should be the weak spot of the roe deer. It was kicked and left a dent!! Oh my god, this is too exaggerated!”

After Xiao Tao felt the depression behind the roe deer’s ear, he directly used a knife to peel open the skin.

As expected, it was consistent with Yue Feng’s prediction. There were obvious signs of blunt force trauma, muscle bruising, and sunken bones. These should be the real cause of death of this female roe deer.

Seeing the bloody truth after the skinning, Xiaowen couldn’t help but swallow his saliva: “This thing is so powerful! If it can kill a roe deer with one kick, then can it also be lethal to prey such as wild boars?”

Yue Feng replied: “Wild boars have thick skin and flesh, so even if they are kicked, it is likely to break bones. However, if it is a piglet with a stick, it will definitely not be able to withstand a kick from Big Black Hawk!
However, for ordinary wild boars, there is no need to send out the Black Hawk. Dogs can catch up with them. So just use dogs to surround them and people can shoot them with guns!

At present, it seems that even a dog can hardly catch a mountain animal like a roe deer, which is known as a flying animal on the snow. Using a black eagle to catch it should have a good success rate! “

Xiaowen looked at the roe deer that was kicked to death, and then at the big black eagle with its hat on and its feathers loosened, and said slowly: “It would be great if we could catch a few more big black eagles!
This big black eagle is really efficient at work, but it eats the roe deer it catches right away. By the time people get close to it, it’s already half full! With its crop bulging, it probably can’t continue working, right?”

“Yes! This is the disadvantage of falcon hunting! If the eagle eats half full and then flies away, it will be hard to say whether it can be controlled!” Yue Feng nodded.

After getting Yue Feng’s approval, Xiao Wen continued, “From this perspective, using the Black Hawk to work in the mountains is not very cost-effective, especially since we now have dogs and guns!”

“Yes! At this stage, it is indeed not cost-effective to rely solely on the Black Hawk to do the work! Going out, with people and dogs, catching a roe deer does not have much economic value!” Yue Feng agreed with Xiaowen’s judgment.

“However, this is only the basic stage of eagle development. My expectation for the Big Black Hawk is not just to let it do the job it is doing now!” Yue Feng suddenly made a turn before he finished speaking.

“What else can the big black eagle do?” Xiao Tao dug out the roe deer’s internal organs, wiped his hands in the snow, and came closer again.

The corners of Yue Feng’s mouth curled up slightly, and in his mind emerged the scene of a new generation of hunters in his previous life using small drones with thermal imaging to protect farmers and hunt wild boars in the mountains.

If this big black eagle is smart enough, as long as its IQ is similar to that of the black wolf at home, Yue Feng feels that he can continue with its subsequent training and it will not be a problem for it to serve as a physical drone.

More specifically, what can you do?
In fact, letting the Big Black Hawk act as a thug is the lowest level and most primitive use. Yue Feng’s team has guns, dogs, and regular wild animals in the mountains and forests. Except for the big claws of the tiger, basically all other wild animals can be measured.

If it can use the vision advantage of high-altitude flying to actively search for and discover prey, and then guide the dog pack and hunter to follow up, the hunter’s efficiency in hunting in the mountains will directly increase by a large order of magnitude.

After all, the leader dog is not omnipotent. The area of ​​the mountains and forests is too large, and after Sao Leng calms down, only a small part of the area can be tracked.

With the help of falcons acting as reconnaissance eyes in the sky, the success rate of finding prey can be greatly improved.

The idea is good, but there is one thing: how to let the eagle take the initiative to find prey and report back to the owner after finding it. Yue Feng does not have a mature training plan yet.

The falconry training skills passed down from his grandfather’s generation and the foreign raptor training methods learned on forums in his previous life have basically been used, and this Saker Falcon has successfully matured into a hawk. How to make the big black eagle reach the higher level in Yue Feng’s plan still needs to be explored bit by bit in subsequent actual combat.

“Brother Feng? Brother Feng? What are you thinking about? Why are you still smiling and distracted?” Xiao Tao waved his hand in front of Yue Feng to wake him up from his distracted state.

“Ah? Ah!” Yue Feng came back to his senses and rubbed his face subconsciously.

“What are you thinking about? Are you okay?” Xiao Tao continued to ask.

“It’s okay! I was thinking, under ideal circumstances, how to use this big Black Hawk!” Yue Feng scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

“Did you think of it?”
