Chapter 38: ‘Huang Daring’er’
Without the constraints of Guoxian’er, Huang Daring’s hunting ability has improved a little again.
Although it has not yet performed the highly ornamental and high-end operation of turning over a kite, this bold yellow bird can chase, smash, head-pick, and bend these unique skills that sparrowhawks are good at hunting in the wild.
What surprised the two brothers most was that when they were passing by a bush area in a transition area, a big pheasant caught up at their feet.
At that time, the eagle was lying in Xiaowu's hand, and a chicken had appeared at its feet. Xiaowu instinctively let Huang Dadan go out.
It stands to reason that the ordinary sparrowhawk will not have large pheasant as an option in the wild diet. The ordinary sparrowhawk will catch the heavy pheasant chicks until it dies.
But Huang DaDang was worthy of being Huang DaDang. He was very angry at the moment. Xiaowu Bian let go and Huang DaDang chased after the big pheasant.
At this time, we can see the difference between the hunting IQ of different falcons.
When the Big Green Harrier caught a pheasant before, it held its head with both paws to briefly control the prey, relying on the power of the eagle handle to subdue the pheasant as quickly as possible and end the battle.
Although this jute kite was brave enough to chase the pheasant, it was no coincidence that he caught it after catching up.
One paw grabbed the thick hair on the pheasant's neck, the other paw grabbed the pheasant's back, and straddled the big pheasant directly as if riding a horse.
The big male pheasants at the foot of Changbai Mountain must be two or three kilograms in size. An eagle weighing more than half a kilogram hangs on the body. It has little effect on short-distance flying. Just like that, one chicken and one kite, heading towards He flew over the opposite hillside.
"Fuck! What's up is a big male pheasant, why are you flying a hawk!"
Brother Xiaowen is a little confused. Pheasants are not uncommon at the foot of the mountain. Yesterday, when we were walking around the mountain, I've encountered it before, but Xiaowen didn't make a move, but I didn't expect that my younger brother actually made a move today, and he still threw it out while pinching the string.
“I didn’t realize it. A bird got up under my feet. As soon as my head got hot, I let it go! Even the eagle chased it out, and then I realized it was a pheasant!
What to do, brother! "
"What can we do, hurry up and chase! The eagle in our hands is pointing at this yellow bolder to work. If we lose the eagle, what will we do when we go back? Even if Brother Feng doesn't blame us, I hope the remaining eagle won't be able to catch a few birds! "
After Xiaowen said this, he started to chase the eagle in the direction it flew away.
Another big pheasant carried Huang Daring and flew directly out of Xiaoyili. After landing on the ground, Huang DaBang still clung to the hair on his back and neck.
Pheasants are afraid of eagles. This is engraved in their bones. The big rooster jumped on the ground while carrying Huang DaDao. But to no avail.
After struggling on the ground for about thirty seconds, Huang DaDao lowered his head and pecked the rooster's comb. The painful rooster took off again, carrying Huang DaDao and flew towards the next ridge.
Brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu hadn't climbed up the hill yet. From a distance, they saw the big rooster taking off for the second time and quickly disappeared in front of the two of them.
“Damn weeds, this big rooster can really fly with Huang Bingdao on its back! Huh...huh...huh.” Xiaowen scolded and gasped for air.
My younger brother Xiaowu was not much stronger, but he knew that he had done something wrong, so he did not say anything and continued to pursue him with a straight face.
The two brothers climbed over two mountain ridges from where they were flying eagles, and then they saw the male pheasant that had flown out, its wings exhausted, and was struggling crazily on the ground. But Huang was brave and stubborn. He clung to the back of the big rooster and refused to let go of his claws.
The more the chicken jumped, the faster its physical strength was exhausted. By the time the brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu arrived, the big pheasant had completely given up resistance. His head was stuck in a bush, and he didn't care about his hips, motionless.
On the other hand, Huang Daudao opened his wings and flapped a few times from time to time in an effort to maintain his balance. He opened his mouth wide and panted, but his claws were still holding on to the prey and not letting go.
Climbing two mountain ridges in a row, brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu were completely exhausted at this moment. After seeing the eagle and pheasant on the ground, they held on and chased after them.
“I’ll kill it!”
"No, it's hard to catch a live one! Brother Feng said the live price is high!" Xiao Wu took out a knife and wanted to kill the pheasant directly, but was stopped by his brother.
So I saw Xiaowen walking up to the pheasant, with quick eyesight and quick hands, he grabbed the chicken's claws and took it out from the bush.
At this time, the naive Huang Budao was reluctant to let go of his claws. Xiaowen held down the pheasant. The guy opened his mouth and gasped for air while trying to pluck the hair from the pheasant's neck down with difficulty.
From a physiological structure point of view, the strong beak of the sparrowhawk is difficult to break through the defense of the big male pheasant. Even if the neck of the big cock is broken and thrown to the sparrowhawk, the little eagle wants to tear open the pheasant skin and eat it. It takes a lot of effort to get to the meat.
However, Huang Budao seemed to be a bit confused and had a one-sided temperament. Xiaowu even took out the chicken from his backpack and put it on his gloves to exchange for food, but Huang Badao refused to let go of his claws. After a stalemate for more than a minute, he released his claws and stepped on the half-sand chicken, lowering his head to show off his meat.
Brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu still lacked experience in falcon training at the moment. If they caught a pheasant in this situation, they definitely shouldn't calculate the value of a live pheasant, but focus on cultivating the eagle's grasping skills.
It can be said that Huang Daudao's success in catching pheasants this time was due to his brute strength and stubborn temperament. If you want to say it is clever, it is not at all.
If Yue Feng was nearby at this moment, his first reaction would not be to change the prey, but to find a way to guide the falcon so that it knows where the pheasant's vitals are, so that when it lowers its claws next time, where to grab more Easily control prey.
As Yue Feng said to several younger brothers before, being bold and daring to catch is a talent, but being bold alone is not enough. If you want to grow into an excellent falcon, you also need to have the right handle. guidance.
Brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu were inexperienced, which still made Huang Dadan lose this opportunity to learn advanced skills.
But that's not important. He may have been a bit naive when he was caught, but the end result was still good.
After such a big job, the eagle's physical strength was greatly consumed. Although the two brothers were thinking about going into the mountains to catch more prey, they also knew that the eagle's condition was more important. They were afraid that the eagle would lose its strength and be killed, so It's not even noon yet, so I gave Huang Dangdao an eighty-percent-full meal early and gave it to Xiaowu to hold on to.
For the next half day, the two brothers focused on the other substitute kite. Although the success rate of this kite, which neither brother rated highly, was lower, it still had a lower success rate. The cooperation between the man and the eagle has also improved. He carried the eagle for a walk in the forest until dusk, and then he carried the eagle down the mountain.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Yue Feng was the first to return home with his eagle in his arms. Today he wandered around in the red pine forest all day, including the squirrels that went to the ground, and the squirrels that were forced out by smoke and fire. A total of eight were caught alive. On the way down the mountain, we also caught three flying dragons and two sand half chickens.
Another half hour later, the Li family and his son also came back. Uncle Li and Xiao Tao gained a lot more today than yesterday.
There is another chapter in the evening, okay
