Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 246 Yellow-throated Marten is also a Marten
Chapter 246 Yellow-throated Marten is also a Marten
Whether it is a cat or a mustelid, the skin on the back of the neck has a reflex switch. After being pinched by absolute force, the little sable can’t move at all.
Yue Feng carefully picked it up and observed it for a few seconds. The little sable had no external injuries, nor any internal injuries or signs of vomiting blood.
The big black eagle probably didn’t kill the sable just now, and the big black eagle captured the sable alive.
When Yue Feng went up the mountain, he had no intention of capturing the sable alive and bringing it home, but when he saw the sable in his hand, his little thoughts immediately emerged.
This thing can also be artificially bred. Since you are planning to run a deer farm, why not raise a few sables?
The income of a deer farm lies in its long-term and stability, under the premise of maintaining sustainable development, rather than explosive growth in income. If you want to make big money, you need a very large scale, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources as investment.
In comparison, the individual value of a sable is much more exaggerated. A single skin can be sold for hundreds of dollars, and there is no need to worry about sales. Under the premise of good food and drink, the skin can be produced in a little over two years from the time a newborn cub grows to a full size. You can do it!
Thinking of this, Yue Feng lifted up the sable’s tail and took a look at its butt.
Wow, this is a female mink.
Otherwise, why not bring it back alive and find a bigger cage or something to keep it there and try?
Having made up his mind, Yue Feng rummaged in his bag and quickly took out a cloth bag containing bear bile.
This slightly larger cloth bag is the plus version that my mother made for Yue Feng last time when she was working on the sewing machine. It is one size larger than the normal small cloth bag for bear bile. At that time, Yue Feng joked with his youngest sister Jingjing that it was used to store large bear bile. He casually put it in his shoulder bag and never used it.
Now this cloth bag has found a use. Yue Feng opened the bag with one hand and with the other hand pinched the sable’s neck skin and stuffed it directly in.
The sable was put into the bag, and then Yue Feng quickly tied the mouth of the cloth bag. The little female mink, which had been completely stunned by the big black hawk’s attack and attack, crawled into a slightly restrained and dark environment, and became noticeably quieter.
Yue Feng held the cloth bag and observed it for about a few minutes. After making sure that the creature would not use its mouth to bite open the bag, he stuffed the entire cloth bag into his shoulder bag.
In fact, Yue Feng was not afraid of the sable biting through the bag and escaping, because the big black eagle had been following Yue Feng. Unless it could encounter very special terrain and break away from the control of the cloth bag and immediately drill into the special terrain structure, otherwise, in such a big world, it could not escape the pursuit of a man and a big eagle.
After gathering the little female mink, Yue Feng took out another roll of meat from his bag.
“Great job, Dahei! Let’s do this from now on!! I want this sable to live from now on!! Fly higher and help me find out if there are any more nearby! If you catch any prey, I’ll feed you some delicious meat!”
Yue Feng treated the big black eagle like an adult coaxing his own precious daughter. His tone was so patient and gentle. The big black eagle seemed very satisfied with the feedback from its master. After Yue Feng touched the hair on its head and chest twice, it opened its mouth and took the meat reward from Yue Feng and swallowed it in big mouthfuls.
“Keep looking, search the surrounding area! If you encounter the sable from before, don’t kick it to death, come back to me and report after you have subdued the prey! Go!” Yue Feng tried to issue a new search order.
“Quack, quack, quack!”
After eating the reward meat, the big black eagle tilted its head and listened to the instructions given by Yue Feng. It seemed to understand, shook its feathers that were like ink armor, kicked its legs hard, and soon flew into the air again.
The big black eagle did not understand the orders given by its owner very thoroughly. After all, it did not understand human language. It had to learn and understand some knowledge from scratch by relying on the combination of action guidance + reward feedback + language assistance, and then its little brain could play freely.
The fact that Big Black Hawk captured the Little Sable just now was actually an accident. Big Black Hawk was more interested in showing off to his master and his little brother Big Blue Harrier that he could easily deal with an opponent that Big Blue Harrier had to go all out to defeat.
Ultimately, this is a confident display of behavior based on status and strength.
But, by now, the motivation for this action is completely unimportant.
After capturing the little sable with a combination of fighting and fighting, the big black eagle received recognition from his owner and was rewarded with food, which led to the big black eagle believing that the way he dealt with prey like the sable was encouraged and needed by his owner.
So the big black eagle immediately became very motivated and successfully took the initiative to be promoted to a working eagle.
It’s just a small sable, which is not a problem for him at all. He just needs to fly high up and he will be able to see if there is this little thing in the surrounding mountains and forests.
The big black eagle made up its mind and flew higher and higher. With its super eagle eyesight, it quickly swept across a large area of forest.
After all this trouble, two sable neighbors in the valley were captured alive and dead, and both fell into Yue Feng’s pocket. There was no trace of sables around anymore.
The big black eagle circled high in the sky for a long time but couldn’t find any new target prey, so it simply raised its altitude again to expand its search circle.
This expansion of the search circle actually led to new discoveries.
About two kilometers away from the mountain stream valley, several yellow-throated martens, a distant cousin of the sable, were chasing and intercepting a large male roe deer with blue-gray fur weighing nearly 100 kilograms on the snow in the mountains.
The yellow-throated marten mentioned earlier is a very ferocious and intelligent beast of the Weasel family. Although it is not large in size, with adult males weighing only a dozen or less kilograms at most, it can hunt large mountain livestock that are several or even dozens of times heavier than itself.
Animals such as roe deer, sika deer, and even red deer and moose are all on their menu.
In winter, when the climate is cold and food is scarce, these yellow-throated martens will use their blood ties as a bond to form hunting teams and work together to hunt large prey.
At this moment, this hunting team consisting of five yellow-throated martens is carrying out a thrilling pursuit and hunting activity in the mountains and forests.
These little creatures are very smart. Five yellow-throated martens occupy different terrain positions. Some of them are the main attackers responsible for chasing prey, while others act as blockers or drivers to block and drive away the team’s hunting targets.
The team of five yellow-throated martens may seem to be in a loose formation, but they have blocked all possible escape routes of the big male roe deer. As long as they circle and chase it for a while and exhaust their strength, the five yellow-throated martens will rush forward and tear open the roe deer’s trachea and carotid artery with their sharp teeth to complete a perfect teamwork hunt.
However, an accident happened at this time. A big black eagle flying in the sky discovered the hunting team of five yellow-throated martens.
In the eyes of the big black eagle, the yellow-throated marten and the sable are very similar in body shape and running movements. The only difference is that the yellow-throated marten is many sizes larger than the sable.
The owner of such a small sable attaches great importance to it and even puts it in a separate small bag. If he catches a larger yellow-throated marten, he will definitely give it more meat rewards and praise!
Thinking of this, the big black eagle immediately locked onto its target and swooped down towards the yellow-throated marten that was the farthest behind the other four and was responsible for driving away the prey. Squeak! !
The captain of the yellow-throated marten who was hunting discovered the presence of a bird of prey in the sky and immediately issued a sharp cry to warn his teammates.
The next second, the big black eagle swooped down from the sky, falling in a graceful dive arc, and then kicked the yellow-throated marten on the back.
The yellow-throated marten received the warning and had a little time to react. At the moment when the big black eagle swooped down, it moved forward slightly and dodged half of its body.
This resulted in the Eagle Strike, which should have had a very high hit rate on the first try, only hitting a little bit of the oily skin and failing to hit the target solidly.
After being kicked, the yellow-throated marten rolled over uncontrollably in the snow, then immediately steadied itself, bent its waist, raised its head, and assumed an attacking stance.
The big black eagle is always used to rising and falling, no matter whether you are a big mink or a small mink, in a defensive or offensive posture, after one attack, it will circle in the air again and turn, accelerating and diving down for the second time.
The yellow-throated marten is a unique and dangerous hunter in the deep forests of Changbai Mountain in Northeast China. It is not big in size, but its agility is almost maxed out. It has almost no natural enemies when traveling in groups. According to reports, even the national treasure giant panda is afraid of this little thing.
When the big black hawk dived for the second attack, it almost suffered a loss from the yellow-throated marten. When the attack was about to hit the target, the yellow-throated marten did not dodge, but instead waved its sharp claws to meet the attack.
Air force units are extremely fast, thin-skinned and highly lethal. How could they dare to confront the yellow-throated martens on the ground head-on when the opponent is obviously prepared?
When it was less than thirty centimeters away from the yellow-throated marten, the black eagle felt that the danger was too great and subconsciously gave up the attack and rose higher again.
This time, the black eagle’s instinctive rise saved the black eagle’s life. The yellow-throated marten, which had just risen to a height of less than two meters and was squatting with its head raised and waving its claws to meet the enemy, suddenly jumped more than one meter high and was almost grabbed by the black eagle.
The frightened black hawk tried several dive attacks in the sky, but the yellow-throated marten reacted very quickly and was already a threat to the black hawk’s safety. After several feint attempts, the opponent would immediately take a defensive stance and even try to jump up and counterattack.
Now, the Black Hawk has met its match!
They are all agile hunters, neither of them has a good way to defeat the other, and it is difficult to break the opponent’s tactics in a head-on battle.
The big black eagle, who was very careful about its life, made several feints and determined that it might be injured or even killed. It decisively gave up the fight and instead raised its flying altitude again and flew towards the direction where its master Yue Feng was.
I don’t have an advantage when I’m alone with many guys, but I can mobilize people!
The owner was holding his little dog and had a hunting rifle in his hand. When someone came, he would shoot them all!
On the other side, Yue Feng was leading the black wolf and slowly searching in the snow on the bank of the valley near the sunny side. Suddenly, he heard the rapid cackling sound of a big black eagle overhead, as it came back to report its prey.
“Damn, we found another sable? So soon?”
When Yue Feng heard the eagle coming back to report the news, he muttered something and immediately sped up in the direction the eagle was coming from.
This time the big black eagle did not get the upper hand. It was much more eager to shake people than before. It circled around Yue Feng’s head and kept chirping, and then did not stop. After flying a distance in the direction of its advance, it immediately turned back and continued to repeat the previous urgent calls.
The black wolf, hearing the eagle boss’s cry, also became a little anxious. It bit the rope that tied it to signal its owner to let go. Yue Feng hesitated for a moment before finally letting go of the rope.
“Black Wolf, go catch them alive. Don’t let the sable bite them to death. The skin will be worthless if it rots!” Yue Feng warned, and then let go of the rope that tied Black Wolf.
Without the rope, the black wolf immediately sped up on the snow. Eagle Boss led the way in front, with the black wolf at the forefront, and Yue Feng chasing behind with a gun.
Under the guidance of the big black eagle, the black wolf ran quickly on the snow and soon arrived at the area where the yellow-throated marten had hunted not long ago.
After the disruption by the black hawk, the hunt that was originally a sure thing for this group of yellow-throated martens failed. The roe deer escaped from the gap in their blockade, and the other martens gave up on the prey and turned towards their companions who were being attacked by the black hawk.
At this moment, five yellow-throated martens were scattered not far from the battlefield, resting and recovering their strength.
Led by the Big Black Hawk, the Black Wolf was the first to climb over the ridge and stood on the ridge, seeing the formation of five yellow-throated martens below.
According to the Big Black Hawk’s understanding, his little dogs should have rushed up immediately and bit these little guys to death, but after the Black Wolf saw clearly that the prey was a yellow-throated marten, he turned around and ran back without hesitation for a second.
What a joke! In a one-on-one situation, even a hound against a yellow-throated marten may not be able to win without any injury, let alone a dog against five yellow-throated martens.
When this black wolf was in the hands of its previous owner, it suffered from the yellow-throated marten when it went up the mountain in the first winter. The longest scar on its belly was the work of the yellow-throated marten.
Its belly was torn open, and if it had been delayed any longer, its intestines would have been taken out. Fortunately, the owner was nearby and shot the honey dog away, otherwise the one-year-old black wolf would have died in the mountains.
Quack, quack, quack!
Seeing that his little dog brother just looked at him from a distance and turned around and ran away, Big Black Hawk became completely furious!
He couldn’t win by himself, so he called a younger brother with fast legs to come. However, the younger brother, who was usually very fierce in fighting, became scared after just one look. Big Black Hawk felt that his experience of being the boss was greatly challenged.
The big black eagle barked again and again, urging the black wolf to fight, but the black wolf kept running, as if he was the prey being hunted and the five yellow-throated martens behind him were the hunting dogs.
The yellow-throated marten heard the noise and discovered the presence of the black wolf, and reacted immediately.
A roe deer weighing over 100 kilograms ran away, and then a big black dog came to the door. We definitely can’t let it run away.
The leading yellow-throated marten squeaked a few times and then was the first to catch up.
