Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 518 Actual Combat Training
The actual distance from the farm gate to Erheizigou is about five kilometers, of which more than four kilometers can be traveled on the Chaiji Road. It doesn’t take too long to get there with a person on a motorcycle.
After stopping and starting many times, and not going at full speed, it took less than twenty minutes to reach the Chaijidao area closest to Erheizigou.
Brother Yue Feng and Xiao Tao parked their motorcycles in the woods beside the road, locked them, and then met up with the others.
The coal briquettes that came down from the truck were extremely curious about the snow on the mountain.
It took a few steps here, then lowered its head to dig and sniff, and was extremely lively.
As he was making a noise, the copper bell hanging around his neck made a clanging sound.
“Coal, come here!!”
Uncle Zhao greeted him in a low voice, and the little guy immediately went back to squat at his feet, looking up at Uncle Zhao and waiting for the next instruction.
Uncle Zhao pointed in the direction to move forward and said to Yue Feng and the others, “Go this way, cross a ditch, and then go over the ridge, and you will reach Erheizigou! How do you want to fight today? Xiaofeng, let me hear your plan!”
An old gunner like Uncle Zhao certainly doesn’t need to ask Yue Feng, a new hunter, for advice when going up the mountain to hunt. To put it bluntly, asking now is also a test.
Yue Feng was quite calm: “Since Gou Zi and Xiao Xiong are both here, let’s focus on a practical training!
Focus on gaining practical experience, and shoot less when it is not necessary! What do you think? “
Uncle Zhao nodded after listening and said: “I think so too!
I had already figured out the resources at my doorstep in the fall. If I just wanted the meat from the pigs, I could just go there quietly with a gun and take charge. Even a dog would be unnecessary!
However, you can’t always hang around the mountains in front of your home. Now that you have a motorcycle, you can go farther and catch more prey.
We must get our dog, eagle, and bear all working together!
Today we will have a practical game to see how the overall performance is! !
You guys should all behave properly, we are on the mountain now and it is time to get down to business, don’t be cocky and show off!”
After Uncle Zhao finished his lecture, Xiao Tao, Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu’s expressions immediately became much more serious.
“Okay, let’s go! Xiaofeng, you are in charge of the command, and I and everyone else will follow your orders!” Uncle Zhao handed over the command of the hunting team.
Yue Feng nodded: “Then let’s follow the route Uncle Zhao mentioned!
Xiao Tao, let Da Huang, Heilang and Canglong go! Let’s see how the dogs we have raised for so long perform on the first snow in the mountains! “
Xiao Tao immediately sent away the two old dogs and the Canglong with wolf blood.
“Da Huang, Heilang, Canglong, search!!”
At Yue Feng’s command, the three dogs that were named immediately started working, wagging their tails.
Come to think of it, it was just snowing, so it was a bit redundant to ask the leader to find a way out.
The footprints left by the prey in the snow are very clear. Even a stupid guard dog can track the prey based on the fresh traces.
However, no matter how redundant it was, Yue Feng did not skip this process. The three dogs spread out and sniffed everywhere, searching for possible traces.
While searching, Yue Feng led everyone forward. The dogs always stayed within thirty to forty meters from the hunting team’s owner, and the farthest was no more than fifty meters. It was very stable.
In comparison, the only difference from last year’s trip up the mountain was that this was the first time for Coal Ball to go hunting in the mountains after the snow.
Coal Ball is too young and very lively. Even though Uncle Zhao has been restraining it from time to time, it still behaves very relaxed.
He rolled around in the snow, and if he smelled anything suspicious, he would lie down and dig with his claws. After a short while, the cowhide protective gear on his body was stained with a lot of snow water.
“Meiqiu, come here, don’t run around!” Yue Feng called out, and called Meiqiu to come over.
The little guy was also quite considerate. When he heard Yue Feng being called, he came close to him and followed the other hunting dogs, following closely.
There were almost no signs of large mountain animals in the ditch near Chaiji Road. The hunting team soon crossed the ditch and climbed up the ridge, and continued to move northwest along the ridge without hesitation.
The further we walked, the quieter the forest became, with only the sound of bells ringing as the coal balls moved.
After searching for several hundred meters forward, Canglong was the first to discover the scent and raised his head and called out.
As soon as Canglong called out, Dahuang and Heilang immediately narrowed their search range and moved closer.
The three dogs sniffed the scent on the ground and in the air, and then they all got excited.
Uncle Zhao and Yue Feng came over to look at the footprints on the ground and said with certainty, “I was thinking, I can cover myself with a blanket. Judging from the freshness of the footprints, the wild boars must have been startled and ran away after the snow stopped!”
Yue Feng nodded: “I think so too! No matter what their situation is, since they have moved, there is no need to raid them, just let the dog gang chase them freely!”
“That’s fine. There aren’t many noisy places in these gullies and ridges. It won’t be a big problem!”
“Canglong, Heilang, Dahuang, chase!!! Let the dogs run away too!!”
At the command, the three leading dogs immediately rushed out barking, and the remaining dogs that had been led also joined the pursuit. At this time, the difference between the wolf-blooded dogs and ordinary hounds became apparent.
The Canglong, which mainly eats meat every day, is now running vigorously and powerfully, rushing in the front. Even though the thickness of the snow is more than 20 centimeters, it does not have a serious impact on its running.
With one leap, it’s only a distance of more than one meter, and it’s not difficult at all.
Canglong led the way in front, and the other dogs all turned on the energy-saving mode and followed in a long line behind.
As for Coal Ball, when this guy saw the dogs chasing out, he followed them, panting.
Canglong led the way, and Meiqiuer followed at the end, and soon they were running wildly in the snow in the mountains and forests.
Eight dogs and a bear, such a hunting lineup is absolutely luxurious.
Wherever it went, large flakes of snow were rolled up, leaving behind the echoes of dogs barking in the mountains and forests.
The fresh smell and fresh footprints, coupled with Canglong’s wolf-derived bloodline, made the path very clear to track.
The brothers hadn’t gone up the mountain to hunt for a while recently, so they panted as they chased across a ridge, then slowed down, holding onto tree trunks and breathing heavily.
At this moment, at the front, Canglong continued to follow the footprints under his feet as if he was tireless.
At this moment, the distance to the wild boar herd was less than 500 meters.
The barking of dogs in the forest had already alarmed the wild boars in advance. The old sow weighing 270 to 280 kilograms was running wildly on its four short legs while chasing its son for a reminder.
Snow of this thickness still has some impact on the running of small and medium-sized wild boars. The pigs are running in front and the dogs are chasing behind, gradually closing the distance.
The four falcons in the sky initially followed Yue Feng and Uncle Zhao’s heads. After Canglong chased out, the big black eagle was the first to follow, and the other three eagles soon followed to the first echelon.
Originally there was a large patch of jujube vines and shrubs on the Erheizigou side. One autumn, two black bears came to eat the jujubes to gain weight. They injured many hunting dogs and even scratched a man. Later, they were killed by several hunting teams, and the name Erheizigou was left behind.
However, in recent years, the soft jujube vines here have become sick for some reason and most of them have died. For at least two or three years, there have been no pigs feeding here.
I don’t know what happened this year, but the fruits were much thicker. A bunch of pigs came and were discovered early by Uncle Zhao who was patrolling the mountains with his dog, but he never killed them.
Four falcons were circling in the sky searching. There were few big trees in Erheizi Valley, and there were large areas of low shrubs and some vines at the bottom of the valley. For falcons, this was a relatively friendly place.
When the big black eagle saw that Canglong was less than a hundred meters away from the yellow-haired wild boar running at the back, it folded its wings and dived down from the air.
Snapped!
With a crisp sound, the big black eagle kicked the yellow-haired guy on the back of the head. The yellow-haired guy, who was running wildly, fell to the ground and struggled to get up, but his walk was swaying.
Before he could even walk away, Little White Spear swooped down and gave the yellow-haired guy another kick, knocking the guy unconscious.
While the adult falcon was working, the other two eaglets in the sky now knew the correct way to attack.
One in front and one behind, the two white spears also dived and attacked like their parents, using the yellow-haired wild boar as a target for practice again and again.
This yellow-haired guy, weighing only seventy or eighty kilograms, is really in bad luck.
Before the dog caught up with it, the four eagles took turns to cause trouble. After being hit hard several times, it looked like it was doomed.
The greedy young eagle stood on the back of the yellow-haired wild boar and began to tear the pig skin to eat it, but the big black eagle and the little white eagle had no intention of feeding the baby.
After a hunting season of practical training, the two adult falcons have already developed the awareness of cooperating with the dog gang’s younger brothers to expand the results of the battle, so the big black eagle was the first to abandon the prey on the ground and take off, chasing towards the front.
The big black eagle flew and kept urging the little white eagle in the air. The remaining two eaglets were a little reluctant, but finally followed after a little while.
There was a large open area ahead, and the largest sow was rushing in the front. The big black eagle locked onto it and chased after it.
The old sow had thick skin and was not afraid of the eagle’s attack, so the big Black Hawk changed its tactics.
Dive! Drive! Scratch! Constantly disrupt the escape route, shortening the pursuit time for the Paw Patrol behind.
At this time, the two young eagles behind them had no idea what their mother was doing. They only drove away the prey but did not attack it, chasing it everywhere but unable to end the fight.
What is this for!
However, the young eagle’s doubts were soon answered.
Canglong and his dog took the lead and caught up with the old sow that was driven back.
He approached quickly, made a feint to bite the pig’s front leg just below the elbow, then turned around and ran away.
The old sow was being chased by two eagles and was now being entangled by the hunting dogs. She was sure she could not escape, so she just confronted the two eagles on the spot.
This confrontation temporarily settled the nest for the first time. (End of this chapter)
