Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 383 You are still young
Chapter 383 You are still young
After hearing the praise from his owner, Xiaobai was obviously a little proud, as evidenced by the way he straightened his chest.
But Yue Feng was a little confused about the despicable action of leaning towards the big black eagle.
Yue Feng didn’t rush to leave, but waved at the others and pointed at Xiaobai on the ground with his chin.
The white eagle moved little by little to the front of the big black eagle, and then it made a little cackle and nodded its head up and down. From time to time, it used its beak to gently peck the tip of its claws, making a crackling sound as the cuticle rubbed against each other.
Seeing this look, Yue Feng reacted instantly.
This White Spear is quite skilled. He’s trying to fawn on and get close to the Black Hawk just like the Big Black Hawk.
This kind of small cackling sound is rarely seen in normal times. In his previous life, Yue Feng had seen on a raptor forum that in some foreign eagle houses that bred raptors, raptors in mating season would make this kind of movement and emit similar sounds towards their partners or artificially imprinted owners.
The New Year has just passed and spring hasn’t even started yet. Could it be that this guy has started to get horny?
Facing Xiaobai’s attempts to get close to him, Big Black Hawk remained very calm.
It looked at Xiaobai next to it with a scrutinizing gaze, neither refusing nor objecting, as if it didn’t take it seriously at all, and paid more attention to its master Yue Feng.
Pairing birds of prey is a very difficult task. Under artificial breeding conditions, it is actually very difficult to successfully pair wild-caught falcons. Yue Feng had learned about this in his previous life.
However, although it is difficult, there are also successful precedents. Xiao Baimao’s proactive approach to others is a good signal.
After all, raptors are lower birds. Their mating and reproduction are more of an instinct and are directly regulated by endocrine hormone levels.
To put it simply, it is not yet the mating season for the black eagle. Even if the little white spear tries to get close to it, there may not be immediate results. It has to wait until the weather gets warmer and sees whether the black eagle is interested before it can finally decide whether the pairing is successful.
“Alright, alright! Big Black Hawk, come here!! Little White, you come here too!!”
Yue Feng finished his observation, bent down slightly and stretched out his arms.
When the two eagles heard their master calling them, they jumped onto Yue Feng’s arms one after the other.
With two eagles on one arm, Yue Feng touched the heads of the big black eagle and the little white eagle one by one. The two eagles squatted on his arm with their feathers fluffed up, and slowly regained their relaxed state.
“What’s going on, Brother Feng? Why is Xiaobai still acting so mean?” Xiao Tao, who was standing nearby, couldn’t help but ask curiously.
Yue Feng curled his lips: “You are still young. When you have a wife and a boyfriend in the future, you will know what is going on!”
“What the hell? I asked Ying what was going on. What does it have to do with me being in a relationship? I just turned 18. What kind of relationship do I need?” Xiao Tao didn’t react at first.
“Hahaha! Xiao Tao, you are so fierce! What the boss means is that Xiaobai is trying to court the big black eagle! Maybe the two eagles are going to be a couple!!” Xiaowen added with a smile.
“These two eagles, one black and one white, can also be together? Does that mean that in spring and summer, we can also get little gyrfalcon chicks? Let’s make a deal first. If we can really get one, I will raise one too!”
Hearing this, Xiao Tao instantly became energetic.
Yue Feng curled his lips and gave Xiao Tao a look: “You idiot, isn’t it enough for our hunting team to have two main falcons? Do you plan to work alone or change jobs?”
“I raise it for fun! Raising a gyrfalcon chick from childhood is so cool!”
Yue Feng decisively shook his head and refused: “You wish! We haven’t even started yet, and you’ve already started thinking about it!
If this thing really reproduces, I won’t give it to anyone, I’ll keep it as a breeding bird! You can’t even figure out how to handle a big eagle, and you want to encourage autumn chicks.
You think it’s easy to raise a chick? If you don’t think well, an eagle will peck out its eyes! ! “
Yue Feng was not trying to scare people. The ‘worldview’ of naturally imprinted chicks and artificially imprinted chicks is completely different. If the feeding details and imprinting habits of chicks raised by humans are not professional enough, they will really attack people.
“Oh! Fine! If you don’t want to give it to me, then don’t give it to me!!”
Xiao Tao scratched his head, sounding a little frustrated, but he had to hold it in.
In the relationship between him and Yue Feng, whatever Yue Feng, the elder brother, says is the truth and he has never lied to him. If he says something is not possible, then it naturally means something is not possible.
“Let’s go, let’s chase the group of roe deer that just ran away! I think if we’re lucky, we might have a chance to shoot! Aren’t you guys thinking about shooting?” Yue Feng changed the subject.
“Let’s go! I didn’t shoot well just now. If it was a fixed target, I should be able to hit it! Anyway, there is still time now, let’s go after it!”
Xiaowen put the crossbow rifle in his hand on his back and walked in front.
Just like that, four people, leading the dogs and two eagles, took off again after a short rest and continued to chase the fleeing roe deer.
During the journey, Xiao Tao was still a little unwilling to give up, and asked a lot of questions about the breeding of birds of prey in a roundabout way. When Yue Feng said that the genetic value of this mutated black gyrfalcon was no worse than that of the albino sable, Xiao Tao was completely discouraged.
This guy’s idea was simple. If the eagle was of ordinary value and was hatched by his eldest brother, he would shamelessly ask for it and raise it.
If it was an extremely rare falcon, and he had no experience in raising and training it, he would definitely not consider raising it for fun.
The brothers continued to track forward, chatting and laughing. After crossing two mountain ridges, the curious roe deer stopped running. This time, the four dogs were tied up. The roe deer were nibbling on the tender branches and leaves by the bushes, having recovered from the shadow of being chased not long ago.
“Brother! At one o’clock, roe deer!!”
Xiao Tao, who had the sharpest eyes, spotted a roe deer on the opposite shady slope just after he climbed over the ridge. He hurriedly lowered his voice to warn his teammates.
Yue Feng nodded and signaled Xiaowen to prepare for shooting.
The two men raised their barreled guns one after the other and pulled the trigger almost at the same time.
boom!
boom!
The largest male roe deer was shot once in the neck and once in the abdomen and was knocked down on the spot. The remaining three roe deer once again showed the white heart-shaped patterns on their buttocks and ran away.
“Fuck! Hit it!!”
“Damn it, why did you hit this end? We hit too hard!”
Xiaowen and Xiaotao were quite excited at first, but when they found out that they were targeting the same roe deer, they became a little annoyed.
At this time, without Yue Feng blowing the whistle, the two falcons in the sky swooped down again.
The three escaping roe deer climbed up the shady slope for more than ten meters. The slope was a bit steep and not very convenient, so they temporarily changed direction while moving and fled towards the northwest along the middle of the shady slope.
At this time, Yue Feng saw Bai Mao’s reaction more clearly.
This guy relied on his short wingspan and the flexibility of flying in the forest, and swooped down into the forest without hesitation.
The trees of all sizes on the shady slopes are not too dense, but they are definitely not very sparse either. Standing on the ridge, you can clearly see the excellent flying performance of the White Lance in this semi-secondary forest.
He dodged and moved swiftly, still maintaining a relatively fast speed, and after firmly grabbing the butt of a roe deer at the back, the roe deer, in pain, panicked and continued to flee from the waist position towards the bottom of the ditch where it was easier to move.
The survival rate is higher if fleeing in the woods. As soon as it jumped to the bottom of the ditch, the big black eagle, which had been waiting in the sky for an opportunity to attack, immediately swooped down at high speed.
Snapped!
With a crisp sound, the roe deer that was attacked staggered and almost fell.
At this time, Baimao also swooped down.
Snapped!
Another kick! This time, the white spear landed at the junction of the roe deer’s ear and neck.
The previous kick had already caused an injury, and the subsequent kick caused the unfortunate roe deer to lose balance and fall to the ground.
This is when the benefits of the two falcons cooperating with each other become apparent.
In the past, when the Big Black Hawk was working on its own, if it wanted to dive again after an attack, it had to fly up again and change direction in the air.
Even if the Black Hawk is extremely strong and flies very fast, the interval between the two attacks must be at least seven or eight seconds. In the case of mountain environments, this time may be even longer.
After such a long time, by the time of the next dive attack, the prey may have regained its balance.
But now, with the cooperation of the two eagles, the efficiency of launching attacks has at least doubled, and the actual combat effect is excellent.
After two consecutive dive attacks that stunned the roe deer, the big black eagle folded its wings and landed, grabbing the roe deer’s head and starting to peck at it.
The little white spear should have noticed its companion’s attack method. It had no place to land on the roe deer’s head, so it landed on the roe deer’s side ribs and lowered its head to peck at the skin of the abdomen.
In the blink of an eye, a hole was pecked on the skin of the roe deer’s abdomen and blood gushed out.
It must be said that the one and a half year old Baimao has a really strong ability to learn things. It was just his first time going up the mountain with the hunting team, and he quickly found a fighting rhythm that suits him.
The first roe deer could only play a supporting role, but when hunting the second roe deer, it had already become the main force!
Quack, quack, quack!
The big black eagle successfully brought down its prey, spread its wings excitedly and cried out again.
The little white bird beside him also started to cackle and nod. After a long time of effort, he pulled out a strip of meat from the torn belly and held it in his mouth to offer it to the big black eagle.
The big black eagle did not refuse. He took the roe deer meat strip and swallowed it with his neck tilted back.
Seeing this scene, Xiaowen laughed and complained: “Fuck, this Baimao is really cheap!
He never misses any opportunity to show off. If we had these two skills, we would have solved our personal problems long ago!”
Yue Feng was also very happy to see this scene. Maybe this would really be a good thing!
“Don’t just stand there, drain the blood and open the stomach! Don’t let this little white thing peck at it randomly, it might tear its intestines, and that would be very troublesome!”
The brothers quickly rushed to the place where the roe deer fell to the ground, took out their knives and started working again.
Here they are hanging the roe deer upside down and letting them bleed.
Then two gunshots were heard from the valley far away.
Then there was a roar, Aa …
