Chapter 247

The yellow-throated marten is not big in size, which actually becomes an advantage at this time.

The snow crust can only bear a limited amount of weight, so it’s obviously a bit strenuous for the dog to run on it. Every time the dog’s paws land, they sink into the snow crust to some extent.

This situation affects the dog’s running speed to a certain extent.

In comparison, the impact on the yellow-throated marten running on the snow crust is minimal.

Think about it, being able to hunt roe deer, known as the “snow-flying” roe deer, and chasing a native hunting dog weighing nearly 100 kilograms in the mountains is just a matter of time.

The only variable here is that when the black wolf discovered the yellow-throated marten, the two were quite far apart, and the dog was standing on a ridge with less snow. The yellow-throated marten needed to climb up along the sunny slope from the bottom of the valley, and then rely on its speed advantage to close the distance between them in order to catch up with the dog.

This also gave the dog a certain chance to escape.

The black wolf was also clear-headed. Knowing that he was no match for his opponent, he immediately turned around and sought shelter from his owner.

Just like this, the big black eagle kept cackling in dissatisfaction above its head, but the black wolf just kept running. The five yellow-throated martens behind it seemed to have recognized this dog and chased it at a very fast speed.

After chasing for about ten minutes, the dog returned along the same route and soon appeared at the edge of Yue Feng’s sight.

Yue Feng was running forward with a gun on his back, when he suddenly heard the scream of a big black eagle above his head, with an obvious change of tone.

Is there some other danger?

Why does the dog running back look like it is escaping? The eagle in the sky has also changed its movement!
Yue Feng reacted quickly. He stopped immediately, put the Big Blue Kites in his hand on a tree branch not far away and tied it temporarily, then took off the gun from his shoulder.

He took off the safety, loaded the gun, and put it to his face. Yue Feng leaned against a large oak tree as thick as a person and was ready.

Logically, there shouldn’t be any dangerous wild animals around this forest farm. Why is the dog running away?

Soon, Yue Feng had the answer.

Wow, several large sables were following the dog less than thirty meters away.

With each leap, the speed is very fast!
“Fuck! Damn it, honey dog!!”

Yue Feng knew what had gone wrong instantly!
Black Hawk was ordered to fly high in search of the sable, but instead of finding any sable, he discovered five yellow-throated martens.

This yellow-throated marten is not an easy creature to deal with. Even if Yue Feng has a gun, he still has to be careful.

Now these five honey dogs recognized their own hunting dogs and chased after them. Yue Feng decisively aimed his crosshairs at the yellow-throated marten that was in the front.

boom!
With a gunshot, the pioneer honey dog ​​who was chasing forward with leaps and bounds was hit by the bullet. He rolled to the side as if hit by a transparent fist and became motionless in an instant.

What a joke! A 7.62mm medium-power bullet can kill a small animal weighing only to kilograms with one shot, no matter where it hits, as long as it hits the torso. There is no need for a second shot.

Hearing the gunshots, the big black eagle in the sky obviously changed its tone. It turned around as if it was showing off its power, found a suitable branch of a tree, and landed on it. It squatted on the branch and continued to cack at the other four yellow-throated martens below.

Since Yue Feng has opened fire, he will definitely not hold back. If someone dares to chase his own black wolf, then this is just a piece of cake that is delivered to his doorstep.

boom!
He aimed again and fired a shot. The second yellow-throated marten was even more unlucky. It was hit in the neck by the bullet, and a big hole was made where its head and torso were connected. Only a little bit of flesh was left connecting it.

Two members were killed instantly in succession, and the three yellow-throated martens that were a beat slower behind were instantly frightened. Sharp squeaking sounds were heard, and the three yellow-throated martens instantly scattered and escaped in different directions.

Yue Feng had not originally planned to hunt any prey other than sable today. Under normal circumstances, the honey hound was not a hunter’s target. Its meat was not tasty, its fur was not valuable, and it would hold grudges. Normally, it would be avoided if possible.

But it’s different now. If I show mercy, I won’t attack. If I attack, I won’t show mercy. Since I’ve already shot and killed two of them and made mortal enemies, Yue Feng has nothing to worry about.

No matter how unpalatable this thing is, it is still meat. Even if people don’t eat it, they can take it back home to feed four half-grown wolf cubs.

So Yue Feng aimed at the third yellow-throated marten again and pulled the trigger.
boom!
The bullet grazed the marten’s head and missed.

However, the semi-automatic 56 semi-automatic can fire continuously, and the second bullet was fired again.

boom!
The third one was hit on the spine and its hind legs instantly lost function, and it was clearly doomed to die.

At this time, the last two yellow-throated martens had already climbed over the ridge and were out of Yue Feng’s sight. Yue Feng had no intention of letting them go, and continued to rush forward a few steps, standing on the ridge, and continued to shoot at the shadows of the fleeing prey below.

Bang bang bang!
Three more shots were fired, hitting high and low, within a range of less than a hundred meters, Yue Feng’s hit rate was quite terrifying.

In just less than a minute, the five honey dogs that had been chasing the dogs and running away with their tongues hanging out were all killed by Yue Feng.

Seeing his master easily destroy the enemy, the big black eagle became even more excited. It chose the honey dog ​​that had been hit by a bullet in the back and had its spine broken but had not died immediately, and jumped down from the tree and kicked it at an extremely fast speed.

Whoosh!
Snapped!
With a crisp sound, the big black eagle’s right tiger paw accurately kicked the seriously injured yellow-throated marten behind the ear. With just one hit, the yellow-throated marten was completely silenced.

The big black eagle succeeded in its attack, turned over a few meters away, and quickly landed, stepping on the yellow-throated marten’s head with one claw and on its back with the other, making a series of cackling noises like a fox pretending to be powerful.

Yue Feng touched the head of the black wolf dog that came close to him, and then walked slowly to the front of the yellow-throated marten where the big black eagle was standing in demonstration.

He squatted down, took out a sharp hunting knife from his calf, then cut a slit in the middle of the yellow-throated marten’s hind leg, and took out a small, thin, and smelly meat whip from it.

This thing is not used to make wine, but to feed the black eagle.

The big black eagle was quite excited at first when he saw his owner cutting meat for him to feed him. When the mink whip was handed to him, he immediately raised his head to take it, but after tasting the meat on his tongue, he soon shook his head and threw it away.

The meat of the yellow-throated marten is not tasty in the first place, not to mention that Yue Feng deliberately chose the meat from the indescribable part under the crotch.

The big black eagle is used to eating tender meats such as heart, liver, lungs and brain. When it first tasted this meat, it immediately showed strong resistance.

Seeing the big black eagle spit out the “mink whip”, Yue Feng felt relieved.

Both hounds and falcons are discouraged from hunting species that are not on the hunter’s hunting list.

This yellow-throated marten is a typical example of an animal that is not on the hunting list.

There is not much meat after catching it, and the meat is not tasty. The skin is also worthless. It is useless.

However, this thing has sharp teeth and can easily hurt both eagles and dogs.

The risk taken is not proportional to the benefits obtained, so naturally there is no hunting value.

The big black eagle was not encouraged to recognize the prey, but Yue Feng could not kill the prey without giving a reward, so Yue Feng came up with this trick.

After Big Black Eagle knew that this thing was not tasty, he would not provoke it again. Seeing Big Black Eagle spit out the sable whip, Yue Feng took out the sable leather tube from his bag and gestured around Honey Dog.

“We want to catch this small marten, not the big one! Don’t mess with this big honey dog ​​if you see it again!

Black Wolf performed very well and deserves a reward!”

Yue Feng’s PUA-style feedback gradually strengthened his ability to distinguish between the two different prey species and their corresponding performance.

When the petite sable is placed next to the huge yellow-throated marten, the contrast in size is much more obvious.

The big black eagle also realized that this big guy was not the master’s primary target, and he no longer reacted as violently as before.

“Okay, just stay and follow me in the sky. I’m going to gather the other honey dogs together! We’re getting ready to go home!
Black Wolf, go and drag the farthest honey dog ​​to me!”

Wang Wang Wang!
The black wolf understood Yue Feng’s order and immediately ran towards the honey dog ​​at the bottom of the ditch. It quickly bit the prey’s neck and dragged it back little by little.

Yue Feng gathered the remaining honey dogs together one by one.
I didn’t plan to eat meat, so I didn’t empty the leftovers in my stomach.

Yue Feng simply cut a slash on the carotid artery of each prey to drain as much blood as possible, then tied the tails of the five honey dogs together with a hemp rope and dragged them on the snow.

The five honey dogs weighed dozens of kilograms in total, but their long hair provided little resistance when sliding on the snow. Yue Feng was able to drag them by himself without affecting his progress.

Just like that, Yue Feng dragged five honey dogs, the black wolf and the big black eagle down the mountain. After crossing several ridges and returning to Chaiji Road, he went down the mountain along Chaiji Road and returned to the village at around three o’clock in the afternoon.

When they entered their own alley, Meng Yulan at home heard the barking of dogs and came out from the main room in the north house, just in time to see Yue Feng dragging five honey dogs into the yard.

“Ah! Xiaofeng, what are you shooting? A fox? It doesn’t look like one.”

Meng Yulan had never seen a honey dog ​​with its head down and its tail up, so she didn’t recognize it for a moment.

Yue Feng smiled and said, “It would be better if it was a fox! It’s not a fox, it’s five honey dogs!

Don’t worry about that for now, Mom, please find the unused iron chicken cage with mesh holes in our house and tidy it up first!”

“That thing is at the bottom of the warehouse. Why are you looking for it?”

Yue Feng walked up to his mother with a smile, then took out the complete sable skin from the bag.

“Can you see what this is?”

“Ah! You caught a sable on the mountain!”

“Well, this male mink was caught with a blue kite! It was caught, but the blue kite got scratched on its leg, so it has some minor skin injuries!”

“Even if you get a skin on your back, you don’t need a chicken coop, right?”

Meng Yulan touched the soft leather of the sable with joy on her face, but there was still a question mark between her brows.

“Don’t worry! The big male mink just now was hit by a big blue kite. I still have a big black eagle that I caught alive!”

As he spoke, Yue Feng took out the cloth bag containing the little female mink from his bag.

Along the way, the little female mink behaved very quietly. Except for one attempt at struggle that was ineffective, it lay obediently under the pocket most of the time.

“A live sable? Do you want to raise the sable in a cage with closed mesh for chickens?”

Meng Yulan reacted instantly when she heard this.

“Yes! I have seen this one alive, it is a little female mink!

Whether you drive one sheep or two sheep, you can let them go. The bones and other leftovers from feeding the eagles at home can be fed to the female mink.

If this thing can be raised and reproduced in an artificial environment, I will go back to the mountain and have a chance to catch a few more alive. These will be the breeding minks for our future farms!”

“this…”

After all, Meng Yulan was just an ordinary rural woman, and she couldn’t think too far ahead at once. But after her son said this, if the sable could be bred and raised at home like cats and dogs at home, one skin would be worth several hundred yuan. This is a huge amount of money.

“Hey, let’s not worry about the technical issues for now, let’s solve the problems of introducing and raising the species first!

We don’t need to sell the fur of this female mink to make a living, so now we should explore breeding techniques!”

“Okay! Son, you’re right about this! Let’s give it good food and drink and serve it well! If it really succeeds, then we won’t have to worry anymore!”

After hearing her son’s idea, Meng Yulan agreed and immediately turned around and went into the warehouse.

After a busy rummaging through boxes and cabinets, a huge chicken coop that had been crushed and deformed was soon found.

This type of cage is made of flat iron sheets with holes in the shape of footprints.

It is very long, about ten centimeters wide, thick, with small holes and good strength.

By fixing two adjacent pieces of sheet material with wire, a surface can be formed. By connecting several layers, a large cage can be made.

However, when used for raising chickens, the chicken manure at the bottom is easy to stick together and is difficult to clean. Later, after the thick iron wire cage became available, this old-style chicken cage was eliminated.

In this day and age, people are reluctant to throw away old items. My mother even feels it’s a loss to sell them as scrap metal, so she just packs them up and throws them away in the warehouse.

Now, it has a new use. This cage should be suitable for raising sables.

“There’s a lot of debris on it, so it’s a little deformed. Since it’s being used, I’ll clean it up and fix it up!
The lid is now open, and there is such a big gap that it could easily slip through!” said the mother.

“I’ll clean it up, you don’t have to worry about it!”

Yue Feng responded and immediately turned around to look for tools. Pliers, wire, nails and other hardware items were hung near the north wall of the warehouse. Yue Feng could fiddle with these small things by himself.

After Yue Feng gathered the materials and tools, he carefully disassembled and checked all the connecting parts of the deformed chicken cage.

The rusted and corroded parts should be repaired or replaced. After everything is cleaned up, use new wire to secure the cage again.

An L-shaped partition device is added at the upper cover to prevent the sable from suddenly escaping when the lid is opened.
