"Really? False?" Li Baoyu immediately became excited when he heard Wang Dalong say that he had nearly 600 kilograms of cannon eggs.
"That's what I said." Wang Dalong didn't dare to confirm, and only said: "We haven't seen the hoof prints yet. I heard they are under the hilly fork in front. Why don't you two come with us and take a look?" p>
"Okay!" Li Baoyu decided to go along without even thinking about it.
These days, there are a lot of wild animals in the mountains, including wild boars and black bears, but big ones are still rare.
"Then let's have a look." Zhao Jun didn't object. Anyway, he and Li Baoyu were going to Gangchazi. Since they had met each other, let's go together.
But the further he walked, the more Zhao Jun felt something was wrong.
It’s not the people who are wrong, it’s the dogs.
The yellow dog that Wang Dalong took care of just now has been following Wang Dalong, following every step.
The other four dogs were running ahead, but every time they ran forty or fifty meters, they turned back.
When they reach a place seven or eight meters away from people, they stop again, then turn around and run forward, then run forty or fifty meters, and then come back.
Just like that, back and forth.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Jun felt something was wrong and made a decision in his heart.
When they arrived at Gangchazi, the dogs in front saw the wild boar's footprints on the snow, and they surrounded them one after another, lowering their heads and sniffing them.
At this moment, the yellow dog that had been following Wang Dalong suddenly ran over, lowered his head and sniffed on the snow, then raised his head and sniffed to the sky, and then ran away to the south.
This yellow dog is running and barking at the same time.
When it barked, the other four dogs followed it all the way.
"Hey, running crazy!" Li Baoyu exclaimed.
When Wang Dalong heard this, the depressed look on his face was wiped away, and he said with a smile: "What do you think? I, the yellow bitch, am the alpha dog."
While talking, several people came together next to the wild boar's hoof prints. When they saw the hoof prints, Wang Dalong's expression became serious, and he nodded and said, "It's really almost six hundred kilograms."
"Yes, I have it." Someone next to me spoke.
Someone else said: "Then we have to follow quickly."
Five dogs would definitely not be able to control such a big pig, so people have to move forward quickly.
Wang Dalong looked at Zhao Jun and said, "Xiaojun, Baoyu, are you two going with me?"
"I..." Li Baoyu was about to speak, but Zhao Jun secretly pulled him. Li Baoyu immediately understood. Although he was puzzled, he never said another word.
Zhao Jun said: "Brother, you guys are strong, you are tough, and you still have two guns. If you have two more guns, we will not have more, and if you have less than us, we will not go with you."
"You two don't need to fight." At this time, Bai Qiangmin from the same village next to him said, "Let's watch the fun together."
"No, Brother Bai." Zhao Jun said, "I went up the mountain with Baoyu today because I wanted to find a place where there was no one around and let him practice his spear. You go south, and my two brothers go north to the Shenxian Cave.
Take a look."
"Okay, Xiaojun, you two slow down." Hearing Zhao Jun's firm tone, Wang Dalong stopped trying to persuade him and, together with the other three, chased after the dog barking.
After watching several people leave, Li Baoyu asked Zhao Jun in a low voice, "Brother, we have nothing to do, why don't you go with them?"
Zhao Jun looked away, shook his head, then turned to Li Baoyu and said to him seriously: "Baoyu, remember, when you go up the mountain to fight a siege, if your dog behaves abnormally, you should go home immediately!
No matter how big the wild boar is, even if it is a golden pig, you will take the dog down the mountain immediately."
"Ah?" Li Baoyu was confused. What is this?
Seeing that he didn't understand, Zhao Jun couldn't explain to him.
In fact, these words were told to Zhao Jun by an old man in his previous life. Unfortunately, Zhao Jun did not understand them at that time.
But after he put down his shotgun and stopped hunting, when Zhao Jun looked back on his hunting career, he realized that if he had listened to the old man's words, a lot of things might have been avoided.
Wang Dalong's dog gang is well-known throughout the forest area.
Among his five dogs, except for the white dog that is over one year old, the other four dogs are all hunting dogs that are over three years old.
Not to mention how hard it is, but there is absolutely no problem in working.
For such a dog gang, if the owner carries a gun and follows behind, no matter how tired he is, he will not stand still.
In this case, this behavior must be unwholesome.
Zhao Jun did not explore the reason, nor did he watch the excitement.
The reason is for no other reason than that Wang Dalong is not easy to get along with. Even though he was talking and laughing just now, if something happens, he will have a different look.
The two walked along Beichazi to the other side of the mountain, and soon they saw a series of footprints.
Li Baoyu observed in front for a while, then returned to Zhao Jun and said: "Brother, roe deer!"
"Well, keep your voice down." Zhao Jun said, "Follow slowly."
"Okay!" Li Baoyu lowered his voice and said, "Brother, can you let me take two shots today?"
"I'll fight first." Zhao Jun said: "We can't come here in vain. Let's go back to make dumplings as a whole. If you have another chance, you can fight again."
"That's okay."
After discussing it, the two stopped talking and followed quietly forward while holding each other's footprints.
The further they walked forward, the more cautious they became; the further they walked forward, the lighter and lighter their steps became.
Because even if they didn't see the shadow of the roe deer, they knew that they were about to see the roe deer.
How can you tell this?
Experience.
If you want to hunt, you must understand the mountain topography and prey habits.
There was originally a forest in front of it, or a forest that had been cut down.
There are two scales for mountain deforestation.
One is clear-cutting, which means cutting down all the trees in a small cell without leaving a single tree.
There is another type called selective cutting, which literally means selective felling.
In a small forest, pick out the ones that are thick enough and chop them, and leave the ones that are not thick enough to let them grow.
The forest in front was cleared the winter before last, leaving tree stumps. The following year, new branches protruded from the stumps, and many buds and leaves sprouted from them.
Roe deer like to eat these young shoots and leaves.
Seeing the footprints of the roe deer running there, you don't need to look to know that the group of roe deer are now feeding there and gnawing on the young branches and leaves.
When the two were walking about 500 meters away from the clear-cut forest, Zhao Jun suddenly raised his hand to signal Li Baoyu to stop. He held a gun by himself, hunched over his waist, and walked forward slowly step by step. When they were about 400 meters away, Zhao Jun could faintly see something moving back and forth in the thin forest.
Zhao Jun moved forward again. When he came to 300 meters, he knelt on one knee in the snow and took aim with his gun.
A group of five roe deer.
The largest one has green fur on its back and weighs about 120 kilograms.
This kind of roe deer is called big green millet or green lid in the Northeast.
"It's you!" Zhao Jun thought to himself, and he picked as big a target as he could, aiming at the big green millet, and when he pulled the trigger, he heard a "bang" sound.
