Chapter 58: Self-trapped and hand-pulled net
Old Wild Shrike is indeed very angry, but this guy also has a weakness, it is very afraid of water.
Yue Feng held the pole that tied the shrike and placed it over the water basin. The shrike, who was still struggling wildly to hang himself a second ago, suddenly became more honest.
Either you fall into the basin and become a drowned rat, or you just stand on the pole obediently. Choose one of the two, which is actually a good choice.
When the shrike stood firmly on the pole, Yue Feng moved the water basin below. Gradually, the tiger became familiar with moving on the pole and was no longer so afraid of people.
After all, Hubula is much smaller than the raptor. In less than a morning, he was already familiar with Yue Feng. During the day, there were people coming and going from the house. Hubula quickly got used to the people around him. existence, occasionally after struggling a few times and failing, they slowly accepted their fate.
At noon, Yue Feng took some lean meat from the warehouse, dipped it in water and fed it to Hubula. After being hungry all morning, Hubula had no food in his stomach. After taking a tentative bite, he felt very satisfied. Let’s have a feast soon.
After filling his stomach, the tiger stood on the pole to groom himself, stretched his arms, and had adapted to the new life.
This kind of watch can basically be used if you wait for the afternoon or evening to break into the crowd.
While Yue Feng was playing with the tiger during the day, his father Yue Lei was also busy. His son had to prepare five sets of nets for this trip to the mountain, and he, the logistics director, was responsible for making them.
Fortunately, there are only a few knots on one side of the five-finger-wide Eagle Net, so the net can be weaved very quickly.
Yue Lei spent a whole day and worked overtime at night to finish all the mesh films.
With watching movies and online movies, all we need is a lure.
A lure such as a sparrow is enough to catch small eagles, but if you want to catch a big eagle, the best thing to use is a dove with a raindrop color.
The Qian family in the village raised pigeons. Yue Feng came to the house after dark with money in his pocket and bought ten pigeons at a high price of one yuan each.
The pigeons stayed in the nest at night, and the ten pigeons arrived quickly. After Yue Feng paid the money, he took the pigeons back home.
Early the next morning, Yue Feng carried rice and water in his bag and went up the mountain with his knife.
This time, the hilltop that Yue Feng went to was not the usual place where hawks fly to catch chicks and greyhounds.
If you want to hunt big eagles, the best eagle farm around is Hutou Ridge, an hour and a half away from Xing'an Village. The top of the mountain is relatively steep, and the altitude is more than 100 meters higher than other surrounding mountains. meters, which can be regarded as a commanding point on the surrounding mountain ridges.
During the eagle season in autumn, raptors will fly using updrafts to save energy.
The mountain in Hutou Ridge is in the southeast direction. Whether the wind blows from the southwest or the northeast, it is a good place to catch eagles. Yue Feng caught many eagles here in his previous life.
One year when he caught up with Eagle Peak, Yue Feng had a glorious record of shooting four Eagles in one day. On average, as long as the time of year comes and the wind direction is right, catching one and a half big eagles is not a big problem.
What's more, it's still 1980 when the raptor resources are much richer than in the previous life. When Yue Feng agreed to Niu Fusheng, he had already evaluated these factors in his heart.
Today Yue Feng went up the mountain, and his main job was to open up a place.
The so-called opening of a site is to organize the selected netting site with tools for cutting wood.
There are not many relatively large ancient trees on the Hutou Mountain side. Most of them are small pine trees and shrubs.
After Yue Feng left home, he ran all the way towards Hutou Mountain. After walking for an hour and a half, he arrived at the top of the mountain that he remembered from his previous life.
Select the netting area, level the weeds and shrubs on the ground, and then select a thin wooden stick two fingers thick and bury it in a square shape on the ground. These places are self-arresting places. They only need to be inspected three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, and do not need to be watched all the time.
The so-called self-falling net is actually an improved and upgraded version of the cage net. Four sticks are buried in the ground to form a square, and then four pieces of net are hung on the Two adjacent sticks are formed into an airtight square. The upper end of the mesh is fixed with a slip knot and the bottom is tied. A pigeon is tied in the middle of the four-sided net as a bait.
When an eagle flies over the sky and finds a self-falling net, it will swoop down and attack the pigeons. In this way, it will plunge headfirst into the self-falling net and be trapped and unable to move.
The advantage of this kind of net is that no one needs to keep an eye on it all the time, but it also has disadvantages. It is said that the great eagle, a net leaker who has gained experience after suffering losses before, can see through this kind of trap set by humans and find the bait. After that, it will only circle around and observe, and will not launch an attack.
This kind of self-falling net can catch big eagles, but in terms of success rate, it is much lower than the second type of net.
The second type of net used to catch big eagles is called the pulling net.
In the eagle-handle style, a bamboo pole or thin wood is used as a frame to make a single-sided dragnet. The dragnet is raised at a small angle, or it is directly attached to the ground in the center area under the net. , tie a dove.
When the bird watching in the shack notices an eagle passing by in the sky, the bird will show some special movements of fear, and then it will grasp the rope of the net tightly like an eagle handle.
When the raptor locked the pigeon in the middle of the net in the air and swooped down to attack, the eagle quickly pulled the net with quick eyes and hands, and the big eagle was caught in the net.
Of these two methods of catching big eagles, in fact, you only need to prepare one of them and it is basically enough. After all, raptors are not carrots and cabbage. Even on the days when the most eagles are caught, the overall number is still in the minority.
But in order to shorten the time spent on catching the eagle, Yue Feng took a two-pronged approach.
In one day, Yue Feng cleared out four primary schools, one primary school and five places.
By the time Yue Feng set up the hawking shack at the place where the net was set up, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon.
Early the next morning, Yue Feng carried the lure on his back, an eagle net and other tools, and headed straight for Hutou Mountain.
At this moment, the cold dew solar term has arrived, the cold air flow is gradually moving southward, and the north wind is gradually picking up.
For several days in a row, although the air has been crisp and clear in autumn, the temperature in the morning and night has reached single digits.
Why do we need to write about solar terms and wind direction? Because these things directly affect the harvest of going up the mountain to hunt eagles.
When Yue Feng was on his way in the morning, he would look up at the sky from time to time. Occasionally, a glimpse of raptors would make Yue Feng even more confident.
Arrived at Hutou Mountain, Yue Feng first arranged the four self-trap nets in order, and then took his belongings to the last place where the net was pulled.
After a busy period of hanging nets, tying ropes, smashing stakes and tying lures, Yue Feng completed the initial preparations.
I saw him using a few pine branches to simply draw a circle around the traces on the ground, and then led the bird into the shack he had built.
The person entered the shack and inserted the pole with the bird on it at the door of the shack. Then he dug a shallow pit about seven or eight centimeters in diameter and twenty centimeters deep in the area under the pole. All we need is the east wind.
It seems that there are no recommendations for new books to be added to the library, and the smart push time is not accurate for the second round, causing me to suffer a lot in the second round of data.
