Chapter 157 Big Black Hawk’s Second Report

Yue Feng took a rough look at the bear poop on the ground with a branch. There were a lot of broken bones in the feces. If he was not mistaken, they might be the undigested remains of the previous meal.

Yue Feng speculated that it was most likely that the hunting dog that died from a hunter’s trip up the mountain two days ago had become food for the black bear, and now it had turned into a pile of poop and was excreted.

Knowing the source of the smell, the next step became much easier. Yue Feng asked Xiaowu to tie up the two dogs, Heilang and Dahuang, with ropes, and then gave the order to chase them!
When the two dogs heard the command from their owner, they immediately chased in the direction of the scent, but because they were tied with ropes, they could not run fast.

The other two dogs are not tied up, so they can follow people all the time and act as guards around them.

In this way, the risk of being ambushed is greatly reduced, and the only cost is that the speed of finding the prey target is slower.

The group patiently followed the dog, climbed up the sunny slope along the bottom of the ditch, and walked along the ridge for a few hundred meters. Under a big tree on the shady side of the slope, they found fresh black bear footprints and traces of snow piles being dug up.

Yue Feng lowered his head and carefully examined the footprints left by the mother bear, gaining a more intuitive understanding of the bear’s size and weight.

Overall, the true situation of the black bear that injured people was similar to what Yue Feng had deduced before. The bear was not very old. Judging from the size of the footprints, it was estimated to be a young bear about three years old, which had just passed the sub-adult stage.

If a bear of this size stayed in a tree hole, it would weigh at most 270 to 280 kilograms. Considering that this black bear was giving birth and could not endure the cold winter and came out of the tree hole to look for food, its actual weight should be lighter.

Yue Feng finally estimated that the bear weighed about two hundred and thirty or two hundred and forty kilograms.

If a bear of this size stood up and put on a hat, let alone in the forest, if you were not on guard and saw it waving at you from a distance, people with poor eyesight would really mistake it for a person. Once it got within a few dozen meters and could be seen clearly, it would be unable to run away. This blind bear could rush to the front and knock you down in a few leaps.

“This should be the place where the hunters buried the dead hunting dogs. Look, there are still a lot of blood under the snow! This bear has a very sharp nose. It was hungry and dug out the hunting dogs that the hunters buried on the mountain and took them away!
We found some fresh footprints, so the bear shouldn’t be far away! Cheer up, everyone!
No matter what happens later, safety should be the first consideration. Even if the dog is injured or broken, people should avoid risks as much as possible! Did you hear me? “Yue Feng emphasized it again.

“Don’t worry! We each have a spear, and the bear weighs only about 200 pounds in total. How can it possibly cause any trouble?” Xiao Tao tightly grasped the wooden handle of the knife in his hand and comforted Yue Feng.

On the other side, the big black eagle that had been circling in the sky felt a little bored today. Its owner and the dog were searching very slowly below, and every move was cautious.

We have been climbing the mountain for more than two hours, but we haven’t found any decent prey.

Otherwise, fly higher and help me find it?

When the big black eagle thought of this, it immediately flapped its wings and increased its flying altitude from the original seventy or eighty meters to more than one hundred and twenty meters.

With the height, the field of vision naturally became wider, and the big Black Hawk soon discovered the suspicious traces of the target.

About less than a kilometer away, a black bear was squatting on a huge oak branch that was as thick as several people could hug together. It was holding the back seat of a hunting dog with its paws and gnawing on it.

The hound’s hind legs, which had long been frozen, were as easy to chew as ice cream in front of the bear’s sharp teeth. Dark red ice chips kept falling from the bear’s mouth to the ground.

The big tree where the black bear was roosting and eating was no more than 800 meters away from Yue Feng’s team in a straight line, but because of the forest, no one knew anything about it.

Big Yellow and Black Wolf followed the scent all the way. Although they were walking in a straight line with a clear goal, the dogs would look up and sniff every few steps, which was a little different from their usual tracking methods.

Yue Feng was well aware of the dangers of going into the mountains, so he would take any abnormality from the dog seriously and grab his gun early in his hand, fearing that the black bear would attack and injure someone again.

After the big black eagle in the sky discovered the blind bear in the tree, it became more and more anxious when it saw its owner slowing down.

It’s obvious that we are only a few hundred meters away from catching up with the target, why don’t we move on?
Not knowing what was going on, Black Hawk decided not to wait for his little brother Dog to arrive, but instead launched an attack in advance.

The next second, the big black eagle was seen folding its wings in the air, swooping down at an extremely fast speed, and kicking the black bear on the head as it squatted on a tree branch and gnawed on a dog’s leg.

No matter how fast the black hawk is, or how powerful its eagle strike is, it can’t do anything to the thick-skinned blind bear. If this attack lands on a human, it would be like being hit on the head, and the insult far exceeds the actual damage value.

After a successful attack, the big black eagle leaped into the air again. The attacked black bear made threatening sounds and looked up at the sky, looking for a target to attack it.

Bears’ eyesight is not very good, so how could they possibly spot a black eagle flying at high speed?

The big black eagle succeeded in its attack and found that the blind bear in the tree was not hurt, so he immediately started yelling “ga-ga-ga”.

It flew while shouting, and soon passed over the heads of Yue Feng and his companions. Then it turned around in mid-air and flew towards the blind bear while shouting again.

All the way up the mountain, the big black eagle following overhead never called out. When he heard its cry, Yue Feng immediately had an idea.

Is this big black eagle telling me something?
Thinking of the last time a pack of dogs caught a two-year-old wild boar, Yue Feng felt that this was very likely.

“This eagle is telling us something! I guess it has discovered the bear’s location in advance!” Yue Feng called out and continued walking forward with the dog.

Soon, the big black eagle began to scream again, as if urging it to do so. If there was a drone flying overhead at this moment, one could see the big black eagle flying back and forth between the blind bear and the humans, screaming as it flew.

Upon seeing this, Yue Feng immediately let go of the black wolf in his hand.

“Black Wolf, chase!”

When Black Wolf heard the command, he rushed out immediately, at least forty or fifty meters ahead of the rest of the team and the dog, and could be said to be leading the way.

Seeing the black wolf move, the big black eagle knew that its cry had attracted its owner’s attention, so it landed directly on the top of the big tree where the black bear lived, and kept cackling.

Soon the black wolf, which was free to move, chased the bear to the bottom of the big tree and raised its head and barked at the blind bear on the tree.

The continuous attacks had already made the frightened blind bear nervous, but it was in an upwind position and did not notice Yue Feng and the others.

Yue Feng and his companions followed behind and slowly approached. When they were less than fifty meters away, they saw a black bear growling and roaring halfway up the tree trunk through the big black eagle screaming at the top of the tree.

“Damn! This bear is so damn smart, it’s hiding in the tree!” Yue Feng complained upon seeing this, then put the gun directly to his face and aimed decisively at the target.

Take a deep breath, aim intentionally but fire unintentionally, and go!

Bang bang bang!

Four consecutive shots, 7.62mm medium-power bullets exploded in the bear’s shoulder, chest, and left forelimb. The fatal chest wound instantly made the black bear lose the ability to move. As the blood flowed out, the black bear’s limbs also lost strength. It was stiff for three seconds and lost balance, and fell from the tree.

boom!
With a dull thud, the body of a bear weighing more than 200 kilograms fell from the sky, stirring up snowflakes all over the sky.

“I’ve shot it down! Brother Feng, your marksmanship is amazing!” Xiao Tao took the lead and was about to move forward with a knife in hand.

“Don’t go over there!” Yue Feng shouted, and slowly approached with his gun. When he was within ten meters, he aimed the gun at the bear’s head and fired another shot.

Yue Feng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the bear’s skull had been ripped open by the bullet.

This time I can’t die any more!
“No matter who you fight with or how you fight a bear, you must be aware of finishing it off with a knife or a bullet after it lies down! It has thick skin and flesh, and it may only be knocked unconscious temporarily after being shot. If you rush in and the bear wakes up, you will get hurt!
Therefore, as long as the head is not shot, you must shoot the bear again! The last time Zhao Yuanjie and Zhao Junhe in the village suffered this loss! “Yue Feng put the gun back on his shoulder and said very seriously.

“Okay, remember this! We must be careful next time! This bear is dying now, we must hurry up and open its stomach to take out the gallbladder. If it is absorbed by the liver, we won’t be able to sell it at a good price!”

Xiao Tao removed the wooden pole from the slashing knife in his hand, and was about to bleed and gut the blind bear with the slashing knife.

“After the bear has been bled and opened, only remove its four paws. Do not remove other parts and do not move anything else!” Yue Feng reminded again.

“Why don’t you take off the bear nose and the corrugated cover? This thing is worth some money!” Xiao Tao asked again.

Yue Feng replied: “Don’t dismantle it yet! We still need to drag this bear to the forest farm as intact as possible to claim the reward! If it is dismantled too much, it will be difficult to examine the injuries and various traces!
What if they see that the bear that caused the trouble is only 200 pounds and think we are trying to cheat them out of their reward money? “

“Okay, I’ll listen to you! How about we feed the dog and the eagle after we get down the mountain?”

“No, both the eagle and the dog must be fed now. Didn’t you hear the big black eagle’s message just now? The eagle has finally found its way, and we can’t let this little bit of meat go unnoticed!”

“Okay, you guys take a rest first and watch me!”

After roughly discussing the details, Xiao Tao immediately got to work quickly.

After bleeding the bear, Xiao Tao used a sharp knife to cut open the bear’s stomach. Soon the lantern and the precious bear gall were taken out.

“The bear is small, and its courage is a little bit weak! Chief, give me a grass gall!” Xiao Tao handed the bear gall to the captain Yue Feng.

Yue Feng took the bear gall, took out a small white cloth bag from his bag, and carefully put the bear gall away.

Seeing the man being disemboweled on the spot, the big black eagle that had been perched on the treetop and screaming suddenly folded its wings and landed next to the black bear’s body.

quack quack
After the big black eagle called out like that, the four dogs nearby, who were eager to try, all dropped their tails and lay obediently on the ground without moving.

Yue Feng grinned: “This thing is smart. It just kept cawing back and forth to tell us something. Although the distance is a little short now, we can still train it slowly later! Xiao Tao, take off the bear’s heart and liver. I have to feed it to the eagle myself!!”

“okay!”

Xiao Tao deftly used the knife to scratch the lantern and quickly took out the bear’s heart.

Yue Feng pulled out the leg plug from his calf and immediately started working on the bear’s heart.

The bear heart meat was cut into slices and was still steaming.

“Big Black Hawk, come! Give it to me!!”

Yue Feng blew a whistle and then fed the cut meat to the big black eagle.

This big black eagle had eaten bear’s internal organs and brains in the wild before, so it thought that black bears were also edible prey. Now that the battle was over and it was time to reward the merits, the big black eagle was the best choice.

It spread its wings, took the piece of meat from Yue Feng’s hand and swallowed it, making a “quack quack” sound.

The longer Yue Feng raised this blackened Saker Falcon, the more trust he had in it. After a few days of gradual adaptation and careful testing, Yue Feng discovered that even if the big black eagle was only 70% to 80% full, its subsequent controllability was still very high.

In this case, after killing the bear, there is no need to take away too much food to prevent the eagle from eating enough.

Yue Feng fed the black eagle a piece of bear heart meat, and then fed it a piece of pre-prepared hair shaft meat roll dipped in bear blood. He fed it alternately in this way, and soon the big black eagle was 90% full.

Yue Feng only finished feeding the black eagle when its crop bulged high.

“Alright, alright, you’re done eating, go play somewhere else, it’s time to feed the other dogs!”

Yue Feng muttered a few words like coaxing a child. The big black eagle saw Yue Feng reaching out to it and flicked the food aside. It didn’t want to eat anymore, but obediently jumped onto a tree branch less than two meters high. It squatted there and watched Yue Feng feed the other dogs.

After hunting something in the mountains, Yue Feng certainly couldn’t be stingy when feeding the dogs. He cut the remaining delicious internal organs of the blind bear, such as the heart, liver, and lungs, into pieces and fed them to the four dogs one by one.

After eating these edible internal organs, the dogs were still not full, so Yue Feng cut into the black bear’s abdomen and cut off a whole piece of bear meat to feed the dogs.

It must be said that compared with the bears Yue Feng had shot before, the body fat percentage of this bear today was too low. The fat under the belly, which is usually the most likely place to store fat, was only a finger thick.

It would be strange if such a thin layer of fat could survive the cold winter.

Yue Feng cut several pieces of meat and fed the four dogs until their bellies were full. Then he wiped his hands with a handful of snow and put away the leg sticks.

While Yue Feng was feeding the dog, the two brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu next to him had already cut some wooden sticks and assembled a sled made of wild boar skin.

The remaining internal organs of the blind bear were hung directly on the tree as a tribute to the mountain god. Everyone worked together to lift the bear onto the sled, tied them to the dog’s front legs and neck, pulled the sled up, and headed back home along the Chaiji Road to the forest farm to collect the reward.
