Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

Chapter 463: Eagle’s Sonic Attack

Uncle Zhao: “We are living a good life now. We will move to a new house and get married by the end of the year, and have a big fat boy next year. In spring and summer, we will raise young eagles, and in autumn and winter, we will release some big eagles. Then we can go hunting in the mountains and make money while having fun. I wouldn’t trade this life for a god!”

This Liu Laosan is not our family or old friend. It is against the rules to bring a gun to the mountain without the knowledge of the forest protection team. There is no need for us to risk our lives by seeking justice for others. What do you think?”

Uncle Zhao looked deeply into Yue Feng’s eyes, speaking slowly, word by word, as if he was trying to persuade or negotiate with Yue Feng.

The old man knew a little about Yue Feng’s character. If he was the type of person who didn’t care about anything that didn’t concern him, he wouldn’t have had such a close relationship with the old man.

But everything has its considerations. The old man thinks Yue Feng is young and might take it too seriously, so he doesn’t want Yue Feng to get involved in this mess.

After listening to what Uncle Zhao said, Yue Feng nodded slightly and exhaled: “Okay, since you don’t recommend that I take care of this matter, then I’ll just keep it to myself!”

“Oh, that’s right!! It’s more important for us to live our own lives, why bother with those bastards!!”

Seeing that Yue Feng did not yell but expressed approval after listening to his opinion, Lao Zhao smiled and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes smoothed out.

“But I have to keep this lighter! It can also be used as a card to control Zhou Yuanchao!
It is definitely useless to go out alone, but maybe there will be other opportunities in the future. This is the last straw that breaks the camel’s back, what do you think?” Yue Feng added two more sentences.

Uncle Zhao picked up the teacup again and took a sip of water, then said earnestly, “The fact that you can think this way shows that you have become much more mature in your view of things!

As the old saying goes, if you don’t think about the future, you will have immediate worries. If you want to live a good life, you need to plan and consider more! Only when you have more chips in your hand can you play at a higher level!”

“Yeah, I remember it!!”

Yue Feng nodded heavily. The father and son had reached a consensus on the matter of Liu Laosan.

“Okay, now that we’ve finished talking about business, let’s have a drink of water. You can go with me to fly the eagle later!
“These two little eagles are not very strong. They have been kept in the house for these days. They are familiar with them, but they like to land on the ground or trees after flying for a while!”

“Okay! Where is the eagle? Let me take a look first!”

“It’s on the balcony in the bedroom next door.

You don’t know, I dare not take off my hat at all. If I take off my hat, I will scream wolf all day long, which is really annoying! “

Uncle Zhao was overwhelmed when talking about the two young eagles. As far as he could remember, the pair of falcons in Yue Feng’s hands didn’t like to be called that.

It is normal for artificially bred imprinted eagles to like to call during the sub-adult stage.

When the young eagle had just left the nest and was learning to fly, Yue Feng was often attacked by noise waves. Later, the eagle was kept in a cage, and the eagle’s intimacy with humans decreased, so it naturally called less.

But recently, the old man raised the affinity of this pair of white spears again, and the sonic attack was naturally restored.

This situation will take at least half a year or even a year before it gradually decreases and finally returns to normal.

Soon, the old man turned and went into the sleeping room, and came out of the room carrying two white gyrfals with hats on.

When standing on people’s hands, the two falcons were relatively stable, only making small humming noises in their throats.

The old man raised his hand and took off his hat. After seeing his master’s face clearly, the two eagles immediately started calling out “cackle, cackle”.

“Look, this eagle cries when it’s hungry, cries when it’s full, cries when it’s napping next to you, and cries when you accidentally move! Is this normal???”

Uncle Zhao felt a little overwhelmed when faced with the two clingy eagle chicks.

Yue Feng grinned, reached out his hand and gently touched the hooks of the two eagles’ beaks. The little guys did not dodge, but naturally closed the film on their eyes, behaving very comfortable and obedient.

From this subtle reaction, Yue Feng could tell that the old man had definitely put a lot of effort into this pair of young eagles recently.

Only an eagle that has no resistance or stress towards its owner would behave so calmly and composedly.

In Xiaoying’s eyes, the person next to him is his parents and relatives. He keeps calling out to beg for food from his parents to communicate with them.

“When a young eagle gets familiar with a person, it just loves to call out!
There is no particularly good way to do this. In about half a year to a year, as an independent character is gradually developed, this situation will gradually ease!” Yue Feng said truthfully.

Uncle Zhao touched the eagle next to him and was a little surprised by the answer.

“It takes so long! Can you find a way to shorten this time?
If you keep calling wherever you go, it won’t be good for hunting. If the prey hears the noise, they will be on guard and startle the snake!!”

Yue Feng continued to answer: “There is indeed a way to shorten the time!
But at this stage, we are still in the primary training stage, so I don’t recommend using it.

If the eagle’s personality is unstable, this move will easily increase the risk of the eagle drifting away!”

“Let’s hear what I’m saying first! These two little guys are pretty close to me. They react pretty steadily to whistles and such, so there shouldn’t be any problem!”

“Then go back and evaluate it yourself and try it!

The method is very simple. When you feed the eagle in the future, you don’t have to bring the food to it. Instead, you should take the eagle with you to find the food!

In this way, the eagle will gradually forget the strong association between its parents and food, and the situation of begging for food will be alleviated until it disappears completely! However, doing so will also make the eagle more independent and no longer listen to commands.

It will think that the food is found by itself, not provided by the owner, and its controllability may be affected when it is trained to fly in circles later!”

Yue Feng is indeed an expert who has conducted in-depth research on the science of raptor domestication and feeding. He has studied the various relationships between eagle training and feeding in a very thorough manner.

“The eagle has become unfriendly? Then I’ll just have to endure it!!”

After hearing what Yue Feng said, the old man instantly became timid.

It is true that the eagle’s cry is annoying, but it is also a true family member.

The two or three-pound big egg lies on the owner’s lap like an old hen sitting on its nest. No matter how well-trained any wild bird of prey is, it can’t achieve this level of experience. Only a young eagle that has been double-marked since childhood can have this kind of reaction.

“Haha! The eagle hasn’t been fed today, right? Let’s take the eagle up there and find a place that has been completely felled. Let the eagle take a look around and make an assessment?” Yue Feng suggested with a laugh.

“We haven’t fed them yet, let’s go! These two little guys are very good at recognizing the lure! Let’s go out and swing the lure around a bit!”

The father and son talked about eagle training and hit it off immediately. They immediately took the eagle equipment and food, mounted two eagles, and rode their motorcycles up the mountain.

The three-wheeled vehicle went up along Chaiji Road and passed four or five mountain ridges. From a distance, we could see a mountain field that had been completely logged last winter.

All the big trees in the logging area were cut down and pulled down the mountain, leaving only the tree stumps in the place where they would sprout new buds again in the spring.

Without the big trees competing for sunlight, the various shrubs and weeds on the ground grew noticeably more lush.

If you stand at the highest point of the ridge, you will have a very good view within a radius of one or two kilometers, which is definitely a good place to fly eagles.

The father and son parked their motorcycles on the side of the road and walked towards a slightly higher ridge with the eagles on their backs. Then they took off the hats of the two eagles and raised their arms towards the breeze.

The two eagles stood on the old man’s arms, and when they felt the breeze, they naturally spread their wings. Their sharp claws gripped the leather of the gloves, but they had already begun to adapt and prepare for the posture of flying in the wind.

After the eagles got used to the light and breeze, the old man shook his arms slightly, and the two eagles immediately took advantage of the force and flew towards overhead.

It can be seen that the flying skills of these two young eagles are very average.

The two main falcons at home, the Big Black Eagle and the Little White Eagle, all take off and climb to higher altitudes by circling a little bit. However, the two eaglets being trained today seemed to be unaware that climbing in circles and spirals was more labor-saving, and they almost always used the most strenuous vertical climbing method to fly higher.

It took only about ten seconds for the eagles to take off from their hands and they had already reached a height of about fifty meters. Both eagles had consumed a lot of energy.

When the old man saw that the eagle spread its wings and did not continue to climb, he immediately took out the lure and prepared to blow the whistle to start telling the eagle to swing the bait.

But Yue Feng gently pressed the lure in the old man’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, let them fly for a while! There is nothing blocking the view around, the eagle can’t get lost!”

“Okay, it’s up to you!”

The old man held the lure in his hand but did not show it. The two little eagles circled above his head for several times, but the usual game props did not appear.

Slowly, the flight radius of the two eagles circling overhead gradually increased, as if they were beginning to explore a larger area around them.

Yue Feng was confident in the eagle’s condition, so he was not in a hurry to urge the old man to show the bait.

“It’s been flying for five minutes, and you haven’t shown the bait yet? If you fly for a while longer, I guess you’ll run out of energy!” Uncle Zhao said a little worriedly.

Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: “You are wrong. Although the young eagle’s physical strength is poor, it is definitely not so serious, otherwise it must be physically ill!

Now the eagle is flying overhead, actually it is relying more on the updraft of the breeze, and it flaps its wings only once every few seconds. It is not as tiring as you think!
This kind of flying and swirling bait training, in addition to strengthening the eagle’s hardware to climb altitude, is more importantly to enable the eagle to acquire the ability to skillfully control airflow!
As long as the eagles fly around a radius that won’t get lost, just let them fly!”

“I feel like the flight radius is a bit too large now! Are you okay?”

The old man looked up at the eagle in the sky from time to time, and there was obvious uncertainty and uneasiness in his tone.

“It will be fine! If it gets lost, it’s my fault!” Yue Feng was confident.

Facts have once again proved that Yue Feng’s judgment was correct. These two young eagles have a much stronger innate advantage in terms of being lovers than the two falcons caught in the wild.

The young eagle circled in the sky for fifteen minutes. When it felt that the flying radius was a little larger, it even took the initiative to reduce the radius a little, for fear of losing sight of its owner on the ground.

As the eagle flapped its wings more frequently and its flying altitude decreased, Yue Feng judged that the time had come to show the bait and call the eagle.

Uncle Zhao immediately blew his whistle and took out the lure made of pheasant wings.

The next second, the young eagle, hearing the command signal, dived down from 40 to 50 meters in the air like a diver! (End of this chapter)
