When a wild boar is traveling, it will lower its head while looking for food while moving forward.
If there is any unusual movement around, the wild boar will stop, raise its head, sniff and listen.
Once it senses danger, it will immediately run away.
Based on the wild boar's habits, Sheng Xiping made a customized plan to install traps, covers and other mechanisms along the path the wild boar must pass into the ground.
As long as one of these wild boars is caught in the trap, the rest will definitely have to run away.
Sheng Xiping and a few people with slightly better marksmanship could ambush the wild boar on its way to escape.
When wild boars are fleeing in a hurry, their vigilance is not as high and it is easier for them to be ambushed.
The Sheng family does not have large traps for hunting wild boars, but the Liu family does.
But at this time of year, it is estimated that the farmland in Dajianchang Village is also being invaded by wild boars.
So Sheng Xiping didn't go to Liu's house to borrow them, but went to a small repair shop to buy some.
The small repair shop has a lathe, electric welding and other equipment, and the iron is readily available, so it is not a problem to assemble a few animal clamps.
As for the steel wire rope, let alone that. There is nothing else in the forest farm. Isn’t that what it doesn’t have?
Winch hoisting, tractor pulling, and trolley bundling of wood all use wire ropes, right?
It's easy to go to the forest farm and order some.
Wild boars have a keen sense of smell, so newly made clips and covers cannot be used yet. They must be burned and wiped with mugwort.
These all take time and cannot be completed in one day.
So Sheng Xiping told the night watchmen to patrol with as many people as possible.
If you encounter a wild boar, just light up the two kickers or bang the pot to scare them. Do not confront the wild boar head-on.
The wild boar thing is actually quite clever.
After hearing only noises for several times in a row without any actual harm, these wild boars became more and more courageous, became less and less vigilant, and began to enter the fields unscrupulously and harm the crops.
What Sheng Xiping wanted was for these wild boars to lower their vigilance.
On the afternoon of the 11th, that is, four days after those wild boars entered the ground.
Sheng Xiping led his men and placed seven or eight animal traps on the edge of the back land.
He also laid several traps on the paths that wild boars must take to escape.
To deal with such a large animal, you cannot use a sling.
The rope is used to hang the legs. The wild boar is too strong and the little tree is sometimes not elastic enough.
The wild boar went crazy and either broke the rope or the tree, making it impossible to trap it.
The kind of dead trap tied to a tree will not work either. The wild boar is very energetic when it is mad.
If the condom is dead, the wild boar can break the wire rope even if it struggles desperately.
Therefore, you need to use a live trap to trap a wild boar, usually by tying a wire rope to a large piece of wood or a large stone.
When a wild boar is trapped and trying to escape, it has to drag big logs or rocks.
This thing consumes physical strength, and the forest is overgrown with vegetation. You might get caught on a tree, so you can only grind it in place.
The wild boar had a wire rope around its neck and was so focused on escaping that it was unable to eat. After a long period of torture, it lost much strength.
Hunters follow the traces and can easily kill them when they find them.
"You guys stay in the leeward area nearby. It doesn't matter if you stay a little further away.
If the wild boars are not caught by the trap and enter the ground, you can come out and shoot at the wild boars to scare them away."
After installing the clips and covers, Sheng Xiping began to assign tasks to the people of the educated youth team.
Du Jiabin held an old-fashioned hunting rifle in his hand. Hunting wild boar was actually a bit difficult.
So Sheng Xiping asked him to lead a few people to guard the hidden area of Hou Dadi. Once the wild boar entered the ground and harmed the crops, they would shoot to scare the wild boar away.
Sheng Xiping and Sun Yunpeng, one with a No. 16 hanging tube and the other with a double hunting tube, ambush the wild boar on the road where it might escape.
Sheng Xiping looked at the terrain in advance and chose two of the possible escape routes for wild boars.
Sun Yunpeng hid behind a big rock and shot the wild boar once it passed by.
His double-barreled hunter can be fired separately or simultaneously. It is loaded with single-ended bullets. As long as you find the right opportunity, it should be no problem.
Sheng Xiping found a quite large tree and hid on a branch two or three meters above the ground.
When the wild boar passes by, shoot from a high position.
One disadvantage of his No. 16 mounting tube is that every time a bullet is fired, the shell needs to be removed and reloaded.
Hiding in a tree can better avoid danger and prevent wild boars from going crazy and hurting people.
"Others, just stay still and come back when you hear the signal."
Having more people may not be useful, but will make the situation more chaotic. If anyone is injured, Sheng Xiping will still have to bear the responsibility.
Therefore, Sheng Xiping did not allow Wang Jianshe and others to participate, and asked them to wait for news in the collective household.
This arrangement made some educated youths at Qianchuan Forestry Farm a little dissatisfied.
"Jianshe, what's going on with Xiping recently? Why are he so close to Sun Yunpeng and Du Jiabin?
Hey, I also heard him praising those people, saying that they were smart and clever, and their marksmanship had improved.
Hey, why do you sound so awkward to me?
What the hell are those people? Are they smart and clever? What kind of ecstasy soup did they pour into Xiping? "
After the arrangements were made there, everyone went to find a place to ambush. Only the educated youths from the Qianchuan Forestry Farm had nothing to do, and they all went back to rest in the several houses that had been repaired by the collective households.
Some people didn't quite understand, so they complained to Wang Jianshe and Gao Haining.
"We grew up with Xiping, but we still don't know who he is?
We will just listen to whatever he arranges. Anyway, if there is a wild boar hunt tonight, we all will have a share."
Compared to the others who looked unhappy, Wang Jianshe looked like an old man and was very leisurely.
"Everyone is lying in ambush outside, suffering from the cold and wind, while we stay indoors.
Wouldn't it be great if we still have a share of the wild boar after we hunt it?" Gao Haining also stood by Wang Jianshe.
When others see this, what can they say? Well, just wait.
In mid-September, day and night are almost equally divided.
It gets dark earlier in the forest area, and at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, those arrogant wild boars came again.
Wild boars circle in winter, and at that time, the big boars will enter the herd by running into the basket.
So there were no boars in this group of pigs, but two sows with seven or eight cubs.
After a few days, these pigs got used to walking on their legs and eating in their mouths.
They probably knew that humans couldn't do anything to them, so they rushed directly into the back land unscrupulously, hoping to have a delicious meal.
Usually, when a herd of wild boars eats, the big pigs protect the little pigs and let the little pigs eat first before the big pig eats.
At this time, a sow leads the way, followed by a yellow-haired pig in the middle, followed by another sow at the end.
The sow in the front walked over without incident, but one of the piglets in the middle accidentally stepped on the traps that had been planted in advance.
A click was heard, followed by the howl of a wild boar.
Upon hearing this movement, the sows in front and behind were stunned and stopped instantly.
At this time, Du Jiabin, who was ambushing in the grass ahead, emerged from the grass with his men and fired at the pigs.
