The Kii Peninsula is an area transitioning from temperate vegetation to subtropical vegetation. As a representative group of the north temperate zone, the genus Rubus has a high diversity here.
In addition to the pesticide raspberry, Bi Fang also found a hollow bubble, a particularly large one that looked like a strawberry at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it looked a bit like a round pink mulberry.
"My favorite among Rubus berries is the hollow pickled berries, also called rose berries. The fruits are large and delicious. The key is that they don't smell like pesticides."
Bi Fang happily picked it off, as if he was not here to hunt black bears, but to pick wild fruits and enjoy delicious food.
"When the hollow berries mature, some of the small berries will break away from the receptacle, making the entire aggregated fruit appear hollow, so it is called hollow berries."
"Hey, there is also a shade-loving raspberry here. It is called shade-loving because it likes to grow on the shady side, but it also grows a lot on sunny slopes. It can also be found in areas where broad-leaved forests have been cut down. It is a pioneer species."
[I rub it. If it smells like pesticide, it’s called pesticide. If you like the yin side, it’s called xiyin. I finally understand why this thing is not easy to identify. 】
[The painting style is so sloppy]
[I always feel like something is not quite right, what is Lao Fang trying to do?]
In the evening, Bi Fang sat on a big rock and did not continue to look for traces of the black bear. Instead, he slowly chatted with the audience.
"The fruit of this species is black when mature, with moderate sweetness and large quantity. It is also an important nectar source plant with many flowers. Each flower can secrete a large amount of nectar, and the sugar concentration exceeds 50%, which is particularly liked by bees.
.”
"There are flowers and honey, and theoretically there are black bears. In fact, you can look for them nearby."
The show ends around eight o'clock every night, and it's almost seven o'clock now.
In the next hour, Bi Fang was ready to fish. After the live broadcast, he could go to Richard and the others.
[It’s so waterlogged today, Fang Shen]
[Why do you feel like the whole day has passed without doing anything? 】
[Just listening to the lecture...]
With Bi Fang's current knowledge base, it is not difficult to tell some short stories to fool the audience.
Anyway, it was the first day and no one had gained much. There was no problem in trying to fish by oneself.
right?
[Someone found bear footprints next door. Old Fang, are you still lying across here?]
[Degenerate, oh, degenerate, why do I feel that Boss Fang has become lazy? Sure enough, he still makes too much money, just give it to me, dog head]
Bi Fang was stunned: "Ah, someone found bear footprints?"
It’s pretty fast. Generally speaking, at noon or afternoon, you’ll enter the center of the forest and then look for clues about black bears. You’ll find the clues in the evening. It’s actually pretty fast.
【Yeah, yeah, you know you're in a hurry? Why don't you hurry up and go!】
"Who found it?"
[Jupiter's group, professional hunters from Chou Country]
[It’s not very good in a small Japanese version]
[No, I heard that a group of ghost hunters found a pile of feces, but it was only two days ago.]
"How did you find it?"
[I saw the chewed bushes, and then followed the traces to find them. This is exactly the same as what Lao Fang taught me]
【Awesome】
[Lao Fang is just a bit unlucky]
This is true.
Hunting actually depends on luck.
Just like in the Banna rainforest, if you want to catch the white-legged bison, the question is not whether you know what traces it left, but whether you can encounter the place where it existed.
There are only 200 animals in the entire rainforest, so luck is really important.
"In fact, there are still some animal carcasses, and it can be judged that although meat only accounts for a very small part of the black bear's diet, Asian black bears are considered to eat more meat than American black bears."
Grains
"In addition, because many natural foods have obvious seasonal changes, the staple food of black bears often also changes seasonally."
"In spring, black bears feed mostly on fresh and juicy grass, buds and leaves of trees, so we can mainly look for these places."
"In summer, they feed on various fruits rich in carbohydrate nutrients, as well as berries, such as raspberries, loquats, kiwis, and various Lauraceae fruits, as well as ants, bees and other insects."
"In autumn and winter, black bears feed on nuts rich in fat, such as hickory nuts and acorns from the Fagaceae family."
"Different seasons leave different traces."
Bi Fang took out his kettle and drank some water, then talked a lot.
Mr. Kokawa in the live broadcast room was stunned. Those who didn't know it thought Bi Fang was the commentator.
At eight o'clock in the evening, no one has gained anything today.
As expected.
Although there are so many Japanese black bears that they are becoming a disaster, they are not so large that you can encounter them as soon as you enter the forest. In that case, it would not be an overabundance, but an ecological collapse.
Moreover, it is impossible to reach this level. If there are not enough food, the black bears themselves will begin to reduce their numbers due to intraspecific competition.
Or maybe the Japanese sent out the guards and carried out a sweep, and all the black bear spirits of three thousand years would be killed suddenly.
"It's eight o'clock, and the program team doesn't stipulate that you can't return to the town to rest during the hunt, but I don't think any hunter will go back tonight, and they will camp on the spot."
Bi Fang estimated that no one would return to the town for about three days.
This is quite normal. In ancient times, it would take a hunter ten days and a half to enter a mountain.
The hunting pattern of the hunting season, if everything goes well, should be to go deep into the forest for half a day, find clues for half a day, make full preparations for the next day, and then hunt in the afternoon or on the third day.
On the third and fourth days, we organized, took inventory, returned to town to rest, and tallied scores.
The capture cycle of a black bear is about four to five days, with one day of rest.
Thirty-five hunters and one hundred black bears. If there is no obvious crotch pulling behavior, it should be over in about twenty days.
[Damn it, you’ve been in water all day, all day!]
[Get up, Fang Shen, I haven’t seen you for a month, why have you become so lazy?]
【No mole, let’s do something nice.】
"Don't worry, looking for black bears also depends on luck. I feel that my luck will come soon. I will temporarily build a shack tonight and sleep here. I think other people are doing the same. They may have
A tent is more convenient.”
Bi Fang smiled and turned off the live broadcast amid the wails of the audience.
Night is not a good time to hunt black bears. Darkness is a special place for animals, and most people choose to rest.
A group of men sleeping and snoring, nothing interesting to see.
But if you have a hunting plan, you need to keep the live broadcast on to prevent cheating.
Ten past nine.
In a quiet and peaceful town, a strange young man that no one had ever seen appeared on the street.
After following the scent in the air for a long time, the young man chose a direction and walked into the alley, where he found a wooden box truck parked inside.
The strong fragrance wafts out from the box car. There is a canopy outside the box car. A red curtain hangs from the canopy, and a red lantern hangs on the side. On the lantern is a big Chinese word "face" printed on it.
After opening the curtain, the young man's eyes lit up and he praised: "It tastes so delicious. Sure enough, delicious food is hidden in small alleys like this!"
Hearing the young man's proficient Japanese, the guests here just thought he was a tourist from out of town. However, tourists who looked as handsome as celebrities were rare, so everyone looked at him a few times.
At this time, when they heard the young man's praise, the regular customers started cheering loudly.
"Young people are really knowledgeable. The boss's ramen is definitely the best in town!"
"The steaming hot soup is so delicious when I have a bowl of it every day."
The boss wiped his hands and thanked: "Everyone is so polite. What does this guest want to order?"
Bi Fang sat on a stool, opened his chopsticks, pointed at the sign and said: "Then let's have a sign! Add more meat!"
