Chapter 362: Two Falcons Hunting Rabbits
For the rest of the day, Yue Feng stayed at home, fiddling with the hawk and playing with the dogs at home. In the afternoon, near dusk, he took the white gyrfalcon to the wild for some circling and following training.

In the morning, the white spear fish followed the flight for nearly an hour and caught its first prey, which can be regarded as a phased result in the training of the white spear fish.

At around three o’clock in the afternoon, the wind outside died down, and the big black hawk in the house cried out, wanting to go out of the house to stretch its wings.

Yue Feng’s heart moved. He held the big black eagle in his left hand and the white spear in his right hand, and walked out of the house with the two eagles in his hands.

The affinity between these two eagles is good enough. Usually, they are in the house and they just take off their hats without fighting.

When not hunting or feeding in the house, Baimao would consciously approach the big black eagle, so Yue Feng judged that there would be no big problem in releasing the two eagles together.

When they arrived in the yard, Yue Feng first untied the hat of Big Black Hawk. This guy had stayed in the house for most of the day and had been looking forward to coming out and having fun.

The big black eagle took off its hat and looked up at the sky. It fluffed up its feathers and shook them. Then it kicked its arms hard and flapped its wings to climb higher.

This guy is now flying in the sky above the yard. Yue Feng is no longer worried about its condition. Sometimes it can even fly to a height of three or four hundred meters against the wind, which is almost invisible to the naked eye.

But this guy knows his home. He will fly out for a stroll and come back when he’s had enough fun.

After the big black eagle left his hand, Yue Feng took off Bai Mao’s hat again.

This guy has done a lot of training in flying circles outside, but this is the first time he takes off in his yard at home. After taking off his hat, Hawkeye briefly adapted to the light and then started screaming at the big black hawk in the sky.

The emotion conveyed by the cry at this time obviously no longer conveys fear or warning, but instead expresses excitement.

It seems to be saying, wait for me, I will play with you! !
Upon seeing this, Yue Feng loosened his grip on the two things and raised his arms slightly.

Baimao felt the change in the strength of his master’s arm, and with the help of the force, he quickly flew into the sky.

When the big black eagle saw that his little brother was also released by his master, it swooped down from the sky quickly. In a very short period of time, it dropped from a height of more than 150 meters to only about 50 or 60 meters, and flew in circles above Yue Feng’s head.

Realizing that his elder brother had no intention of attacking him, Bai Mao obviously relaxed a lot. After a brief period of adaptation, he climbed to a height almost the same as the big black eagle. The two eagles frolicked for a while, circling above Yue Feng’s head with their wings kept balanced and almost without flapping.

Yue Feng saw that the two eagles got along quite harmoniously after being released together, so he simply took the lures and meat for food and strolled out the door.

The big black hawk has already graduated with full marks in the following training. When it sees its owner coming out of the yard and walking outside, it will automatically follow above its head without being asked.

Xiaobai was also very smart, and followed suit. Most of the time, the two eagles circled and followed with the help of the breeze, which saved a lot of energy.

Yue Feng walked out of the house and came to the wilderness. He picked up a stick from the roadside, thought for a moment, and went straight to the small vegetable garden where he often released hawks and caught rabbits.

In the morning’s pheasant hunting, Xiaobai’s performance was satisfactory. Taking the opportunity of following the pheasant, he tried to see how he performed in catching rabbits in the field.

In his previous life, Yue Feng and his friends from the interior played the game of rabbit-hunting with falcons and thin dogs. At that time, two rabbit tigers, a male hunting falcon and two Mongolian thin dogs were hunting rabbits in an open area on a meadow. The rabbits jumped up and the falcons ran wildly on the ground, leaving a cloud of dust all the way. It was so exciting.

Although the dog is not brought with him now, the quality of the eagle has been greatly improved. Yue Feng is very much looking forward to the scene of these two gyrfalcons working together to hunt. It can be regarded as some basic practical training before officially taking them up the mountain.

Holding a small stick, Yue Feng strolled to the small vegetable garden. He tried several places where rabbits usually hid, but failed to drive out any rabbits.

Just when he thought that this afternoon’s practical training would be in vain, a large old rabbit with slightly reddish fur on its back flew up from an inconspicuous roadside ditch when a ball was kicked from his feet.

“Cat!!” Yue Feng shouted out of habit and hurriedly blew the whistle to signal the eagle in the sky to launch an attack.

Upon hearing Yue Feng’s whistle, the big black eagle swooped down to chase the hare immediately. However, the white spear, when facing the hare, was obviously not as enthusiastic as when attacking the pheasant in the morning.

This red-haired old rabbit was obviously an eagle’s nest, and it reacted very quickly to the swooping pursuit of the big black eagle.

When being chased, he runs very fast and is very good at changing directions continuously.

The big black hawk’s diving eagle attack obviously encountered an experienced opponent this time. It failed to kick hard twice in a row and only touched the edge, which was dodged by the experienced old rabbit.

quack quack quack
The big black eagle, whose attack was a little frustrated, let out a few sharp and rapid cackling sounds. The white spear, who was still watching the battle in the sky, immediately swooped down and joined the battle.

At this moment, Yue Feng could instantly understand why the older generation of falconers did not like to use falcons to catch rabbits.

Rabbits are small and can bend quickly, so if a falcon or other raptor fights alone, its efficiency is far less than that of a goshawk.

For a black eagle that is so fast, when it habitually dives to attack rabbits, the attack efficiency of a single falcon is quite average.

However, this situation improved significantly after Baimao joined the attack.

Old rabbits like to “pull drawers” and “scratch ghosts”. A single falcon swooping down can easily fool them. However, no matter how flexible the rabbit is, it still has to adjust its movement posture from relative stillness to the second acceleration.

When a single falcon chases a rabbit and misses, it is easy to make mistakes because the radius of the falcon’s turn in the air is large. However, when two falcons work together, it is much easier. The big black eagle kicked the red-haired old rabbit on the buttocks, making it stagger. Before the rabbit could stabilize its body posture, Xiaobai followed.

puff!
With a dull thud, the rabbit that had just turned over was kicked hard by Bai Mao. The huge force of the diving attack caused it to somersault several times and was seriously injured on the spot.

The big black eagle adjusted its flying posture in mid-air and swooped down again to deliver another kick.

Now the rabbit was dead. Blood was coming out of its mouth and nose, and it twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

Yue Feng was quite excited to see the two falcons working together to hunt rabbits.

This up and down flying scene can fully mobilize people’s hunting nature. Although the actual fighting time is only a few minutes at most, Yue Feng feels much more excited than shooting a roe deer.

“Haha, not bad! Big Black Hawk is good, Little White is also good!!”

Yue Feng was not stingy with his praise and trotted towards the place where the two eagles had landed and the rabbit had pounced on the ground.

Seeing its owner coming, the big black eagle grabbed the rabbit’s head with one claw, and tried to drag the prey in front of Yue Feng as if to seek credit. However, this old red-haired rabbit, which had been through many battles, was very heavy, weighing at least five or six kilograms, and it was very difficult for the big black eagle to drag it.

“Okay, okay, let me do it! You two are awesome!” Yue Feng quickly took out the leg plug, squatted down, and cut the rabbit’s neck with one knife.

Some of the blood of the newly dead rabbit could still be released. After a simple bleeding, Yue Feng took out the internal organs and directly fed the two eagles with the meat he had with him.

When feeding, Xiaobai is very clear about his position. He doesn’t fight for food or make a fuss. He waits until his big brother finishes eating and then it is his turn before he eats slowly.

Compared to the big black eagle, Yue Feng was somewhat partial to the new recruit Xiaobai. When feeding Xiaobai, he would dip meat slices in the blood in the rabbit’s abdominal cavity and feed him, which could be considered an extra reward.

After eating the meat they brought out, the crops of the two eagles were swollen. Yue Feng threw the big black eagle into the sky, carried Xiaobai on his back, and walked back with the caught rabbits.

In the current situation, the Black Hawk has already withstood the test of actual combat in terms of controllability regardless of whether it is full or hungry, but the White Spear is still not up to the test.

This creature doesn’t dare to continue flying around after its crop is full of food. If it is attracted by other birds and flies away, its controllability when blowing the whistle will decrease and it will be difficult to run away again.

Whether it is a person or an eagle, trust is accumulated through little by little contact and running-in. It is impossible to gain trust all at once.

Yue Feng was very satisfied with Xiaobai’s performance, but he was nervous all the time. Training an eagle is like doing anything else. You can’t rely on luck, otherwise you will be in trouble if your luck is a little worse.

The two eagles followed, one on the head and the other on the hand, and they returned home like this.

After returning to his own yard, the big black eagle landed from the sky onto the eaves of the warehouse without Yue Feng’s call.

We’ve had enough activity today. It’s cold outside, so this guy wants to go inside!
As soon as Yue Feng stretched out his arm, the big black eagle immediately fell into his hand and buried its head in his arms. The feeling of familiarity and intimacy was beyond words.

Yue Feng opened the door with his butt and entered the house. He placed the two eagles on the falconry. After having eaten and exercised enough, the two eagles soon turned into two big furry balls, and were in a surprisingly relaxed state.

Yue Feng looked at the two eagles squatting there obediently, and couldn’t help but daydream in his heart. After a few more actual combat drills, if Baimao’s overall performance was evaluated as qualified, he could take them up the mountain.

It’s exciting to think about how I can fly through the mountains with two falcons, one black and one white! !
……

Here, Yue Feng was in his room, touching Canglong’s dog head and staring at two top-grade falcons in a daze, when the black wolf in the yard barked.

Hearing the howling of the black wolf, Yue Feng immediately looked up. He knew without going out that Wang Xiaona was coming.

Among the four dogs in the yard, Heilang is the smartest. The other dogs would bark a few times when they saw Wang Xiaona, but because of this they all got punished by Yue Feng in the beginning.

At this point, Heilang knew that he couldn’t yell at this beautiful young lady when she came to his house, otherwise he would be beaten.

However, when someone came to the house, it would be inappropriate not to bark, so Black Wolf used an uncommon method.

It learned to hum softly in a low voice when it saw Wang Xiaona coming home.

Yue Feng opened the door and came out. Sure enough, Wang Xiaona was pushing open the door and walking towards the north room.

“Hey, you’re here? Are you cold? Come in!” Yue Feng reached out and touched Wang Xiaona’s pretty face, which was red from the cold, and led her directly into the north room.

“Tell my aunt that you’re coming home for dinner tonight. My dad asked me to call you!” Wang Xiaona said coquettishly.

“Hmm? Something’s up!!”
