To be honest, in Aige's opinion, killing deer for meat is no different from burning harps and boiling geese. Even deer can be killed, but birds cannot be killed.
But many things have to be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
Perhaps the ecology of this land has been balanced for thousands of years, but since a group of barbaric humans set foot on this land, they used their own invented firearms to ruthlessly slaughter all the carnivorous animals they could see. In the end,
The result is a serious overpopulation of white-tailed deer, a native animal, in North America.
This was a young and strong stag, and by coincidence, Egger's bullet happened to go through its eye.
"Oh my god, you are so awesome!" Joanna ran over and slapped Iger so hard that he staggered.
"This deer seems to be too big, we can't take it away." Egg said to Joanna.
"Well, you're right, it's too big." Joanna nodded and said, even if she wasn't good at estimating, she could tell that this deer weighed at least 100 kilograms.
Egg scratched his hair and was in trouble. When they came out just now, they didn't expect to catch such a big prey, so they didn't bring any ropes or sticks.
People can't be lazy. If you are lazy, whatever happens to you will happen to you.
It's not far from the campground. It only takes about twenty minutes one way. If you walk faster, it takes half an hour to go back and forth.
But the deer may not be able to wait for half an hour.
When slaughtering mammals, they must be bled, because if the blood in their bodies coagulates, it will accumulate in the muscles and visceral tissues, which will not only affect the taste of the meat, but also accelerate the deterioration of the meat.
If Iger and Joanna went to get the rope and wasted time, the deer's blood might solidify.
If the deer is bled first, Iger and Iger rush back to get tools at the same time. Iger is worried that the large amount of blood smell will attract ferocious predators, which can chew the deer into a skeleton within half an hour.
Fran encountered a pack of wolves last time, and he said there were at least ten of them.
There is also an option to bleed the deer and leave one person to guard here while the other person goes to get the tools. This option is unless Egger loses his mind.
After thinking for a while, Iger decided to bleed the deer first.
Egg and Joanna grabbed the deer's antlers and dragged the deer towards the slope with all their strength.
Ouch, this deer is really heavy, it definitely weighs more than 100 kilograms.
After placing the deer head down on the ground, Iger pulled out the shiny kitchen knife No. 2. He squatted down with the knife and studied the deer's neck.
Well……
Ever since he was a child, Iger had never killed a chicken except for the fish-killing skills he had become a little bit more skilled at. Fortunately, the deer was already dead, so Iger could try a few more times.
No, after the fourth stab, Egg drew blood with one stab. He didn't care about the appearance of the deer's neck. He inserted the kitchen knife back into the bleeding point and slashed it back and forth a few more times.
At this time, a large amount of deer blood flowed out from the wound.
It's a pity that I didn't bring a bucket, so the blood was wasted.
After bleeding the deer, Egg gave up his anxiety and decided to put safety first, and the two returned to the camp together.
After all, if you lose your prey, you can hunt it again. If I lose Joanna, well, she will definitely kill me.
Moreover, Iger and Joanna faced a problem. They only had one self-defense shotgun. When encountering large predators, such as bears, the .22 and 9mm were small cannons.
Egger took Joanna and walked quickly towards the camp.

In winter, the sun sets early in the west, and the sun has almost sat on the top of the mountain.
Fran and Erica carried two fat rabbits one foot deep and one foot shallow back to the camp. They walked a lot this day and probably burned as many calories as these two rabbits.
Perhaps the biggest gain for the two today was that they picked up Fran's survival equipment, and then the two discovered a rabbit kingdom.
After the rabbits divide their nests, they will dig their own burrows not far from the original burrows, which will lead to a place full of densely packed rabbit holes.
However, it was too late when we discovered the Rabbit Kingdom today. The rabbits had already gone back to their holes. If we come early tomorrow, we will definitely gain a lot.
From a distance, Fran and Erica saw a bonfire rising in the camp, and Iger and Joanna had returned to the camp.
Seeing that their teammates had returned to camp, both Fran and Erica breathed a sigh of relief. The second most important thing was whether they were empty-handed, and the most important thing was that people could return safely.
When the two walked in, the smell of barbecue hit their nostrils, and they couldn't help but take two steps quickly.
After Erica quickly walked around the off-road vehicle, she saw Iger and Joanna sitting in front of the campfire and working.
Joanna was holding a barbecue grill and was happily grilling a large piece of fat and thin meat.
There were two big fish on the fire. Egger was shooting his bow left and right, and his hands were slowly turning the branch holding the fish.
What is even more eye-catching is that there is a big pot hanging in the middle of the fire, and something is cooking in the big pot. These three aromas are mixed together, making Erica almost unsteady.
"Wow, your harvest is really good today." Erica dropped the rabbit in her hand and happily sat down next to Joanna.
Joanna smiled so proudly that she didn't even know that there was some blood on the tip of her nose. Seeing Joanna smiling so brightly, Erica decided not to tell her yet.
Joanna pointed at the off-road vehicle and said, "There's a big guy lying in the trunk of the car."
After listening to Joanna's words, Fran reached out and opened the trunk of the off-road vehicle. Sure enough, there was already divided skin, bones and meat in the trunk.
Today, it can be said that I spent three minutes hunting and three hours cutting meat.
Egg and Joanna spent the entire day working on the deer.
They first took ropes and wooden sticks from the camp's off-road vehicle and returned to the hunting spot. Thank God, no animals were attracted.
Egger and Joanna used all their strength to tie up the deer, pierced their shoulders with wooden sticks, then carried the deer for two steps and took a breath before heading towards the camp.
"Hold on, it's not far, you know."
"Come on, we're missing a few more steps."
Iger was encouraging Joanna along the way. In fact, his physical fitness and physical fitness were far lower than Joanna's. To put it more clearly, if the two of them had a fight, Joanna could pin Iger to the ground and beat her wildly.
Therefore, when he finally reached the camp, Egg's physical strength had already bottomed out, and half of his upper limit of physical strength had been lost.
Egg sat down on the ground, his legs so tired that he couldn't straighten them.
Joanna took out a bottle of water from the car and handed it to Egger. Egger drank it in one gulp. At this time, the physical fitness value that had returned to zero gradually recovered.
Afterwards, Iger and Joanna simply ate a steamed bun each while taking a rest. This steamed bun was originally supposed to be reserved for dinner, but Iger felt that they could have a "luxury" extra meal.
After the two rested, Egg turned the deer over. He asked Joanna to grab the deer's legs and keep the hooves in the air. Then he held a machete and slowly opened the deer's chest and abdomen, and cut the deer open.
All the internal organs were taken out.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sun was right above his head, Egger decided to do the most difficult thing first. He and Joanna each carried a large bucket filled with colorful offal and walked to the lake to clean it.
To be honest, Joanna wouldn't know how to do this kind of dirty, disgusting and annoying work before, but it's different now. After eating Yuanyuanguan yesterday, Joanna completely understands that she should cherish food now.
To what extent.
Joanna carefully suppressed the resistance in her heart, picked up a pair of huge and soft deer lungs and immersed them in the water. She filled the deer lungs with water, then took them out and pinched them a few times, and then poured the water out of the trachea.
Well, even though it feels a little disgusting, it's actually quite fun.
Joanna turned her head and saw Egg excitedly pulling out a large piece of deer excrement, her eyes shining.
