Chapter 9 The kite turned over
I saw the big green kite’s thick, large-ringed claw nails piercing the turtle dove’s back muscles effortlessly. With just a handful, the turtle dove vomited blood from its mouth.
It seems that this big green kite also has experience in catching turtle doves in the wild. Yesterday's sand chicken was not so ferocious after being caught. Turtle doves have pine feathers and are easy to shed their feathers to escape when being chased by raptors. Daqing Yaozi's eyes were filled with intensity, and he grabbed it hard, which was a serious injury.
Yue Feng stroked the safety rope to put away the hanging string, and then squatted there, letting the eagle feather the turtle dove.
After the hair on his neck was almost gone and the little eagle tore a few bites of bloody flesh into its belly, Yue Feng used his same trick to cover the turtle dove with his gloves.
After the eagle loosened its talons, Yue Feng lifted the eagle up, and then stuffed the hidden turtle dove into the side bag on his left hip with his left hand.
After the eagle became an eagle several times, it was already in full hunting mode. Yue Feng felt that the time was right, so he simply gave the eagle some strength, so he didn’t even get a few bites of the turtle dove he just caught. , and hid it.
There is not much food in the eagle's crop. After a few minutes of slowing down, you can continue hunting. As long as you control the eagle's physical reserves and don't chop it open, there will be no problem.
Whether it is falcon training or dog training, under the premise of having a certain innate talent, more hunting skills will be improved in actual combat. What the falconer does is nothing more than to understand enough. At the same time as a hunting partner, it is just to create or provide better opportunities for actual combat.
In this way, Yue Feng walked with the eagle for a few minutes, took out a water bottle from his pocket and gave the eagle a sip of water, then flattened it down and continued to search for prey.
Unknowingly, Yue Feng came to the small woods by the river.
When he was catching eagles before, Yue Feng noticed that there were a lot of traces of the activities of the sage chicken here. If he guessed correctly, there should be a group of sage chickens on the side of the river near the bushes. .
Yue Feng carefully walked around the shore with the eagle in his hand, and began to search around with the eagle in his hand.
Suddenly, the little eagle twisted its neck and stared at the bushes dozens of meters away without moving.
Yue Feng knew there was something going on and immediately walked towards the direction of the bushes.
Now the eagle is very angry, but in order to hunt as quickly as possible, Yue Feng did not train to call far. This resulted in him inevitably having to hang a string as a safety rope during the process of flying the eagle, otherwise the eagle hunting would fail. Or if you get frightened and go up a tree and can't come back, that's a big deal.
The advantage of hanging a string as a safety rope is that it is less likely to lose the eagle, but it also has disadvantages.
If the distance is too far and the terrain is too complicated, the safety rope can easily get caught on branches and other debris. Therefore, the best way to increase the success rate is to get close enough.
If every prey was like the bold tiger stripe just now, the success rate of this siege would be a bit scary.
Of course, this is an example, and it is not the mainstream in the process of hawking. In most cases, the hunter still needs to approach the hawk slowly to minimize the impact of hanging strings in the surrounding environment on hunting.
Yue Feng tiptoed and got within ten meters before decisively throwing the falcon away.
The Big Green Harrier, which had been unable to hold on any longer, took action and flew straight past the height of the shrub. When it reached the edge of the shrub, it suddenly changed direction and smashed down again.
Hurrah!
A group of sand pheasants suddenly took off from the bottom of the bushes. Almost at the same time, from under the bushes, the screams of the sand pheasants after being caught by the eagle were heard.
What the Big Blue Harrier caught this time was a very fat male sand half chicken. One talon of the eagle held the head of the chicken, and the other talon stepped on the wing root of the sand half chicken. The weight was almost the same. The two creatures, at this moment, showed a huge fighting gap in crushing levels, which clearly shows the magic of the Creator. Seeing that he had been caught, Yue Feng decisively took out the turtle dove that had been eaten a few times from his backpack. He covered the eagle's talons with his gloves, and then put the turtle dove in front of the eagle. The eaglet immediately let go when he saw the red meat of the turtle dove. With his paws, he stepped on the turtle dove and started to chew it again.
Yue Feng took the opportunity to pick off the chicken and took out a sock from his backpack. Just like tying up an eagle before, he tied up the chicken and stuffed it into his backpack.
The eagle caught its prey. Yue Feng let it eat a few mouthfuls of meat. Then he covered the prey with his gloves again and picked the turtle dove from the eagle's talons.
Put the eagle up, give it another sip of water, and wait for about three to five minutes. When the eagle starts to loose its feathers, it means that the eagle's strength has recovered. Then it will sit on the eagle again and continue to move forward.
Birds like the Sand Ban Chicken don’t fly very far and usually move around in familiar areas. There were about ten birds in the group just now. After one was caught, the other chickens flew to the river. Hiding in the bushes opposite.
Yue Feng had caught countless eagles in his previous life, and he knew their habits very well. After the eagle had rested, he continued to walk around, wandering in a small circle outside, and then slowly approached the chickens. Location.
Two successful hunts in the morning greatly improved the hunting confidence of this green kite. At this moment, a little turtle dove meat was eaten in his belly. Although he was not full, it also replenished his physical fitness to a certain extent.
The angry Green Harrier quickly returned to looking around, frantically looking for prey.
Several dozen meters away, the little eagle soon locked the position of the Sha Ban chicken group. Yue Feng repeated his old trick. After approaching carefully, he flattened the falcon again and threw it away.
Following the recent raid, this time the Shaban chickens seemed to be a little more vigilant. At the same time as the big green kite took action, the Shaban chickens also flew out of the bushes.
The next second, a scene that made Yue Feng extremely excited appeared.
I saw the big green kite rushing straight towards where the chickens were standing. A kite turned over, and its strong and powerful talons hugged a Shaban chicken in the air!
“Holy shit!!”
There is a kite turning over in the idiom, but most ordinary people have never seen a kite up close, let alone witnessed a kite turning over while hunting. This kind of extremely difficult hunting action.
Let’s put it this way, even among the species of sparrowhawk, it is rare that a kite (female sparrowhawk) can perform the action of turning over when hunting, and more are male sparrowhawks ( Small chest) is the master of this, flying gracefully and catching skillfully.
Witnessing the kite flipping over, Yue Feng excitedly grabbed the line and chased after it.
When they arrived, the Sand Ban Chicken was pinned down by the Big Green Harrier again. It was still in the same posture, with one paw pressing its head and the other paw pinching the base of its wings.
After hunting three prey in a row, Yue Feng had reached his set goal for today's hunt. Yue Feng took out the old actor's dead turtle dove and skillfully replaced it with the second sand half chicken.
According to the previous plan, it was time to let the eagle eat its fill and go home to eat and continue to fight.
But after witnessing a kite flipping over, Yue Feng suddenly had the idea of changing his original falcon training plan.
