Chapter 422 The Mink Hunting Method

In my previous life, I received many hunters from the hunters. It was precisely because of this that I learned a lot of information about wild animals from them.

As a star species in the Great Wilderness, sable has always attracted much attention.

There are different ways to find the capture of sables and sables.

It is precisely because of listening too much that Lu Lu has combined reality to find out the similarities between these information, which has become an extremely reliable experience.

Silk likes cold and secluded places, so they often live higher. Usually, they cannot live in places where the temperature is less than minus ten or twenty degrees in winter.

Sables like to live in forests with mixed needles and conifers such as red pine, fish scale pine, lactifera, fir, etc., because there are many squirrels, there are also pine cones to eat.

It is also necessary to be close to the streams and valleys, and they can also change their taste.

You must ask where the specific nest of the sable is? It is hard to say. There are many choices for its caves, such as tree caves, earth caves, rock cracks on cliffs, caves under stone ponds in the forest. Sometimes I get tired of living, and I will walk around like a person traveling, occasionally staying in temporary caves for a few days.

It is said that the cunning rabbit has three holes, but the cave of the sable is more complicated, and there is absolutely more than one exit to stay in the cave.

Sometimes hunters find the cave of the sable and want to wait for the rabbit at the entrance of the cave, which is often in vain, because the sable will be very auspicious from the cave that no one expected.

However, for Lu Lu, this is not a difficult task.

He knew the choice of the living environment of sables, so he could naturally find it more targetedly.

Moreover, if you find it, let alone Chen Xiuqing and Angela Chang, he can easily catch it with him alone, leading six dogs.

The current temperature must be at least minus 17 or 18 degrees Celsius, and the breath that exhales freezes all the eyelashes together.

Although there is a sun that is frozen to death in the sky, it is a really good weather to catch marten.

The second sable I found today was found by Yuanbao sniffing the smell.

When Yuanbao let out a fierce cry at Lu Lu, he immediately stopped and walked in the direction guided by Yuanbao. He found that it was a rocky pond in Songling. He could be sure that the sable was in the rocky pond. For nothing else, the place was so easy to hide.

In order not to disturb the Silk from escorts, after a little look, Lu Lu made a pressing gesture at Yuanbao. The six dogs immediately lay on the snow, shaking their tails and staring at the rocky pond.

No matter what kind of beast it is, except for panic when chasing food and escaping life, they usually like to walk in a wide area.

Such a place is easy to hide and easily escape, with a wide view and easy to find enemies.

Lu Lu took down the hunting bag and gently supported the marten net made with Chen Xiuqing yesterday with a thin stick between the wide stone gaps.

This net is modified with a fishing net and is made into a bag with a large mouth. The wires are very thin and the mesh holes are small. There are thin ropes passing through the ring. A stick pressed on the snow on the side. If prey crashes into it, it is easy to be entangled by this small net, or when you are rushing forward, you will tighten the net port.

After setting up these nets, Lu Lu asked Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng to stand by, while he himself took the ingots and went around to a high place.

“博…”

Lu Lu took out his slingshot to prepare, then spoke out and issued instructions to Yuanbao and the five dogs.

Yuanbao rushed out first, followed by five puppies. They quickly walked through the rocky pond and quickly followed the smell to find the hole of the sable. While barking into the hole, they worked hard to pull it with their claws.

After a while, a sable came out from the hole hidden under another bush not far away, moved its short legs and ran downwards, immediately crashed into the sable net that had been set up, and was entangled by the net.

The sable squeaked in the net.

Zhang Shaofeng's reaction was not slower than Chen Xiuqing. He rushed out immediately and fell into the snow. He pressed the sable with his hands wearing roe leather gloves, and then he used both hands to force the sable to kill him.

This is the easiest and least harmful way for Lu Lu to teach him to kill the sable.

The roe leather gloves worn on your hands can effectively prevent the sable from biting the fingers.

Several dogs rushed out as the sable rushed out, but in the end they were one step slower than Angela Chang.

In this case, you cannot let the sable be bitten by a dog. If you are bitten casually, the price will be greatly reduced immediately, and the loss will not be worth the cost.

Lu Lu walked down, took the hunting knife, peeled the sable, then cut the flesh into six pieces, and fed each dog one piece.

The second sable was obtained.

Yuanbao and others can already act as chasing dogs.

Yuanbao, white dragon and black mouth have excellent sense of smell, and several dogs can always keenly detect the breath of sable.

Now, Angela Chang understands why Lu Lu makes money so quickly.

It took only a while to get two marten furs.

"I used to hear from the older generation that during the Qing Dynasty, people from the Manchus, Oroqen, Ewenki, Hezhe, Xibe and other ethnic minorities in the Great Wilderness had to go to the mountains to catch marten every year. At that time, the Jilin-beating Wula General Office stipulated that all males living in Changbai Mountain, Zhang Guangcai Mountain, and Xing'an Mountains, who were five feet tall, had to join the Ding Book. Each person had to bear the obligation to pay a marten to the court every year, which was quite strict.

If they have the ability of you, they will not have to die in vain.

At that time, mink was a royal special item, and it was illegal for ordinary people to use mink."

Zhang Shaofeng smacked his lips and said, "Many hunters say that hunting minks is difficult. Why did you get so easy when you get to your place?"

Lu Lu smiled and didn't say much. This is indeed a matter that requires considerable experience. If it were a person with insufficient experience, it would be difficult to track down the sable. Even if it was met, it would not be easy to catch it.

Lu Lu came after making enough preparations.

He knew where sables like to live and knew several practical methods of hunting sables.

To find the cave of the sable, you can set it with a net at the entrance of the cave, burn peppers from another entrance or use weed smoke to force the sable out. It is better to chase the sable out the sable. The dog can easily complete it.

The caves chosen by sables are not complicated, they only have more exits. If you encounter caves such as badgers, pig badgers, it will make them look like a maze. It will not be easy to drive them out by dogs, and it will not be easy to smoke. Most of the time, you can only dig them out with your strength.

Silk is very afraid of dogs. As long as the dog barks and pulls at the hole, it will immediately be scared to jump out of another hole.

Of course, in the current situation, you can also arrange a cover array on the path where the sable often walks around or around the nest, which is to arrange many soft wire steel covers in pieces.

The beasts like to walk the path they have already walked because they think that the path they have walked is the safest, and they will run away in panic if they are tracked.

It just takes time to wait.

Everyone knows that when they are in the nest, there is a simpler and more direct way, of course it is simpler and more straightforward.

In addition to net arrest and trapping, trapping is also a very efficient method.

There is a shortage of food in winter, and sables are also short of food. You can use fresh meat to put it in a cage with flip plates to lure the sables looking for food into it, or use a splint to set up bait.

Another way is to hollow out the snow layer below on the sable's road, put it directly on the plywood, and use paper to block the snow to prevent the snow from falling and firing the plywood in advance. When the sable passes by and falls in, it is clamped by the plywood.

This method has a certain chance of escaping, after all, Silk's reaction is quite sensitive.

In addition, Lu Lu also heard from Zhao Tuanqing that there were special marten hunters in the early years. They would choose hills with sable activities and choose slightly wide and flat places in the forest to clean up shrubs and weeds to form clean trumpet-shaped snow, and set up traps like mortars here.

Zhao Tuanqing told him that he had said it, but Lu Lu couldn't understand it at all. Zhao Tuanqing simply found some wooden sticks and carefully arranged it for Lu Lu.

The mortar is a bit complicated to make.

On this trumpet-shaped clean snow, a huge tree that is one and a half meters high above the ground was hung on the gantry gate, which was seven or eight meters long.

The gantry is nailed to the open space about one meter wide by two tree branches. Between the two tree branches are wooden sticks as thick as arms. Below the giant tree, two or three meters of tree sticks are arranged into a fence alley. Both ends of the fence alley are spacious trumpets.

Looking closely, one end of the giant tree was hung with a rope buckle by a slightly thin wooden stick on the gantry door. The other end of the wooden stick was tied with a hemp rope as thick as chopsticks, and the other end of the hemp rope was tied with a tree stick as thick as chopsticks. The other end of the tree stick was tied with a horizontal stick as thick as chopsticks, and the horizontal stick was tied with two wooden fences on one side nailed to the ground.

Two more horizontal sticks were placed on the horizontal stick, and thick tree bark was placed on the two horizontal sticks.

This layered and exquisite design reduces such a heavy giant tree using the lever principle to the point where it only takes two small pieces of bark to be hung up.

The trumpets on both sides of the fence were specially prepared based on the habits of the sable.

A trumpet is on the uphill side, and it is when you are preparing the sable on the mountain to go down the mountain to get food.

A trumpet was underneath, which was prepared for the sable to go to the foot of the mountain to feed.

The sides of the trumpet are woven into long fences to block them. If the wild creatures cannot pass through, they can only walk along the trumpet, becoming narrower and narrower. Finally, they drill into the wooden fence passage under the mortar, step on the bark, and bang, and the giant tree falls, and crush the sable to death.

This is a trap set without a wire or a wire cover, which can also effectively capture the sable.

However, in Lu Lu's opinion, this workmanship takes too much time.

Of course, this is a trap that can be reused for a long time.

With such great power, it is of course not just a sable, but also a fox, badger, raccoon, pheasant, rabbit, weasel, etc.

Set up more places on the mountain and just check and collect every day.

Lu Lu naturally couldn't afford to spend so much energy on doing this.

The Great Wilderness is so big that there are so many places to hunt, so we can't just stay in such a small area.

Of course, Lu Lu still used the bird and squirrel meat that he could easily beat, and set up some plywood in several open places in the mountains and forests.

Some of the sables I also encountered were walking paths. After tracking them, I found that the sables had disappeared on the tree. I found the nest and were not on the path of the cave. I set up a cover array with soft and thin steel wires, waiting for tomorrow to check.

In this way, the three of them searched for an afternoon, and with the ingots and their odor detection assistance, they hit two sables, plywood, and condom arrays, and ran a considerable area.

The mountains and fields are covered with heavy snow, and the sables are bound to be short of food. Lu Lu believes that the traps with bait will definitely be available. As for those who have even found their nests, the possibility is even greater.

Tomorrow, in addition to these traps, you will expand your area and search on the surrounding mountains and rivers, and you will gain even greater results.
