Chapter 611 No matter how fierce you are, you are still just prey
Everyone knows that in winter, all blind bears squat in barns, including Tiancangzi and Dicangzi.
Tiancangzi is located on an empty barrel tree that is several meters to ten meters high and several arms thick. Dicangzi is located in a soil hole dug by Xiong Xiazi or a natural stone cave.
At the beginning of winter, hunters kill barns, usually without hunting dogs, because the blind bear has not yet entered the deep hibernation period. If a hunting dog is brought with him, he is afraid that the blind bear will have been frightened away before anyone can reach the barn.
Or just jump out and attack people.
This is also the reason why Lu Lu did not go into the mountain immediately after the first snowfall, even if the snowfall was heavy.
Firstly, there are indeed many things to do on the farm, and secondly, the blind bears or brown bears killed at this time will jump out and run away at the slightest alarm, or attack people.
You have to wait until it gets colder on the mountain for a while and the blind bear enters deep hibernation. That is the safest time.
In fact, as for wild boars and blind bears, almost everyone thinks that they are very ferocious and violent, terrifying existences that kill gods when gods block them, Buddhas when Buddha blocks Buddha, and destroy everything they see.
In fact, when disturbed, whether it is a wild boar or a blind bear, running away is the first choice.
Those who immediately attack when they see someone, either because they bump into them directly, or when they are hungry, or there are stories about them.
This so-called story is about someone who has fallen into a trap set by a hunter or been hunted by a hunter, or been angered by humans. It is also the most dangerous type.
Over the years, I have often heard of wild boars and blind bears injuring or killing people. I have also heard of wild wolves, giant paws or local leopards frequently coming down the mountain to hunt livestock and attack humans.
In fact, in the past, there were not many incidents of wild animals hurting people.
Maybe in the past, there was no shortage of food for the large wild animals in the mountains, and there was plenty to eat. They usually disappeared without a trace before anyone could approach them.
When the few people returned to the igloo, Chen Xiuqing and Liang Kangbo had already peeled off the skin of the bear bull, folded it and put it in a bag. Even the meat was broken down piece by piece and dragged back to the igloo.
After hearing from Zhao Tuanqing that Oroqen horses also eat meat, Raymond was taking the cut meat strips to feed several Oroqen horses.
Little did they know that the scent of Xiong Ba's flesh and blood frightened several Oroqen horses into panic and circled around the tree where they were tied to avoid eating.
However, when Lu Lu saw it, he didn't blame him. Instead, he asked Lei Meng to hang pieces of bear meat on several trees where the horse was tied.
He felt that it was necessary to further adapt the horses to Xiong Ba's aura.
Otherwise, if they encounter a bully bear or a blind bear, the horses will inevitably be in chaos and will be difficult to control.
Liang Kangbo built a big fire outside the house and was simmering bear oil in an iron pot. On the fire in the igloo, he was cooking the meat for today.
The wild animals caught today were all skinned on the spot, and the meat was hung on the mountain. Only the skins were brought back. The meat brought back was mainly from greyhounds and flying dragons.
The flying dragon needs to be plucked, so just take the meat back with you. As for the other fur, put it in bags by category and take it home. After it softens, you can scrape the oily skin, frame it, etc.
Liang Kangbo and Lei Meng were extremely happy to see all the harvests taken out from the hunting bags. During the meal, they kept asking them about hunting in the mountains today. When they heard that there were two more bears, they were even more excited.
Surprised.
"Shaxiong Cangzi, take me with you tomorrow morning!"
Raymond wanted to go and experience it. He felt that since he had followed him for hunting, as a novice, it was necessary to go and experience it for a while. He was afraid that Lu Lu would keep him in the camp all day in order to protect him.
Nothing happened, I just watched things burning on the fire and felt like a waste.
He needs to grow up as soon as possible and become a good hunter who can stand alone.
"Let's take turns...I'll call the names directly. Tomorrow Qingzi will guard here alone, and everyone else will go into the mountain. Big brother, you follow the second brother and learn more about trap setting."
Lu Lu made the assignment directly.
"Ah... why don't you let fourth brother come first?"
Chen Xiuqing was a little reluctant because she really didn't want to miss the two Xiongcangzi tomorrow.
Zhang Shaofeng looked at Chen Xiuqing with a smile: "Qingzi, that's not appropriate, right? Do you think you want to kill Xiongcangzi, but I don't want to go?"
"In this mountain, we will encounter many Xiongcangzi. It's not like we won't have to kill them in the future. If there is anything worth fighting for, we can take our turn and have a chance!" Liang Kangbo persuaded from the side.
Zhao Yongke was more direct: "Lao Wu is the leader, listen to him."
After saying this, Chen Xiuqing glanced at Lu Lu and nodded.
"Don't think that looking at things here is a trivial matter. In fact, it is also a very dangerous thing. Look at us, roe deer meat and bear bull meat are piled here. The smell of blood is strong, and it is easy to attract wild animals. It is also
There are horses, and they are also targets for hunting wild animals, so we can't be careless at all. Everyone takes a turn, this matter must be carried out seriously, and we can't be careless."
Then, Lu Lu smiled and looked at Zhang Shaofeng: "The day after tomorrow, the fourth brother will guard, and then the third brother, and the second brother. When I wait, everyone will have a rest. The eldest brother does not have much time to be exposed to hunting, he needs to participate more, as soon as possible
Get used to it, and you will be more experienced in dealing with wild animals. Brother Big is not safe here alone. At night, everyone takes turns to keep vigil for two hours each."
He explained his reasons, and everyone smiled and nodded without saying anything more.
After trekking in the snow for a long time, Lu Lu also needed to rest. Moreover, as the leader, if he did not participate, Yuanbao and the others would not listen to others' orders, and it would be much more difficult to find prey.
Therefore, when Lu Lu takes a rest, everyone naturally rests.
This is a relatively appropriate arrangement.
After eating, a few people rebuilt the tent to make it easier for hunting and for Yuanbao and the others to live in. If there was any noise, they would be able to detect it in advance.
After a good night's sleep, Chen Xiuqing was left alone the next morning, while the others rode up the mountain on wooden horses early, following yesterday's route, checking and collecting hunting gear and prey.
Sable, yellow skin, raccoon dog, you can pick one up from time to time.
In the place where large pieces of wild animal flesh and blood were hung, the iron trap set below hit two foxes, and traces of lone wolves were also seen in one place.
There were only the footprints of a wolf, caught in an iron trap when it jumped up and tried to bite the fox meat hanging high up.
The strange thing is that the wolf only dragged the tripping tree a short distance away, leaving only footprints on the snow. The traces of the tripping wood and the iron clamp were gone.
The iron trap is set up to hunt larger and more delicate prey. When setting it up, wooden sticks will be placed before and after the trap. In this way, when the prey sees the wooden sticks, it will raise its feet to avoid it and settle on the two wooden sticks.
When he was between the sticks, he hit the iron clamp.
The iron clip will not be directly wrapped with iron wire around the tree to fix it, but will be tied to a tripping log. After the prey falls into the trap, it will drag the tripping log away. The tripping log will get in the way everywhere in the forest, constantly
It consumes the prey's physical strength, and the hunter can easily find the prey by following the dragging traces of the tripping wood and kill it.
There is a reason why we tied the wood instead of fixing it.
Iron wire sounds very powerful, but it is also easy for wild animals to break in the constant struggle and escape with the iron clamp. There are even more ruthless ones, such as wolves. In order to survive, they will even bite directly when they can't break free.
If you cut off the claws that are caught in the iron clamps, but use the tripping wood, it is different. They often choose to drag them away.
Hanging large pieces of meat on the branches is originally aimed at prey such as wolves, jackals, and foxes.
But now, the iron clamps and tripping wood set up here are gone!
Zhao Yongke was also looking at those traces, and he also saw some clues: "What a cunning old wolf."
"Knowing how to hold on to the drag strip and move along is indeed cunning!"
Lu Lu straightened up and smiled. On his face, which was dark red from the cold these days, a row of snow-like teeth glowed green. He grabbed the snow pole with both hands, punched it hard, and followed the footprints left by the lone wolf.
Go down.
After walking about half a mile, he saw mottled black spots on the clean snow surface. Lu Lu picked it up and put it to his nose and smelled it. There was a faint smell of blood. He knew it was an iron tooth wound on the shelf.
With the wolf legs, the distance is not too far.
After driving for more than half a mile, Yuan Bao's cry reminded Lu Lu that he was very close to the wolf.
When Lu Lu carefully chased for a while, what he saw was not just escaping with his tail between his legs, but the lone wolf standing on the snowy slope in the forest and watching his group.
It should have already discovered Lu Lu and others.
He didn't shoot immediately. Lu Lu just watched it quietly. The lone wolf was also looking at several people. The six dogs seemed a little restless and wanted to rush out immediately, waiting for Lu Lu's order.
While remaining still, the lone wolf let out a low roar from its throat. It was challenging and unstoppable.
"What a beautiful big wolf!"
Lu Lu praised sincerely.
This was a tall male wolf with high ears and a thick neck. When Lu Lu walked towards it, it also limped two steps towards it.
Seeing this, Lu Lu frowned slightly, frightened by the ferocity of this wolf.
But no matter how fierce it is, it is still just prey.
When Lu Lu raised his gun, he suddenly saw the lone wolf lowering his head and biting his left front leg which was clamped by the iron clamp.
This scene made Zhao Yongke and others slightly shocked. They now believed that the wolf could be so cruel to them in order to escape.
The sound of crunching bones sounded particularly clear in the quiet forest.
None of them knew what they were thinking at this time, but Zhao Yongke raised the semi-automatic again and fired a shot. The bullet penetrated the lone wolf's head. It suddenly fell to the ground, its four feet shaking violently several times.
, and soon there was no movement.
"Such a wolf is too cruel and cunning to be soft-hearted and cannot be kept!"
Zhao Yongke said softly.
Softhearted?
Yes, it’s just soft-hearted!
Lu Lu was surprised to find that he had really softened his heart just now and could not bear it.
"If this kind of wolf is allowed to push through and gather into a pack, it will do a lot of harm. Look at it, it doesn't show any fear when it looks at us. It's very easy for it to retaliate." Zhao Yongke added.
Lu Lu nodded slightly: "You really can't be soft-hearted!"
He first pulled out his hunting knife, walked towards the bone wolf, gently opened the black mouth that was still biting the lone wolf's neck, chopped off a wooden stick, and pried open the iron clamp tightly holding the wolf's claws.
, looking at the wolf's leg bones that had been bitten to pieces, he couldn't help but warn himself: he should be a little more ruthless.
Zhao Yongke raised his gun and guarded the surroundings, while several others stepped forward to help him open his intestines and rupture his belly.
The heart and liver were cut out by Lu Lu and fed to Yuan Bao and the others. At the same time, an eyeball was cut out and fed to Bai Yu who was standing on his left shoulder. The wolf was put on the sledge held by Lei Meng. The skin was peeled off and the wolf oil was also
Don’t miss it, you can take this back and save it for tomorrow.
"Fourth brother, this iron clamp can no longer be used today, and the same applies to other clamps used to hunt wild animals. Take it back and boil it with pine branches!" Lu Lu also put the iron clamp on the sledge and said that he would be responsible for guarding it tomorrow.
Zhang Shaofeng at the campsite.
Raymond was a little confused about this: "It's okay to just wipe it and then use it, right?"
Lu Lu explained: "The newly made iron clips have their own iron smell. When hunting, they will also be contaminated with the strong smell of blood, which will make the prey wary. Therefore, it must be deodorized. Boil pine branches in water or
You can just apply pine nut oil on it. Some people will also burn it directly with fire. Although it can remove the smell, after the fire, the spring will lose its strength."
