Chapter 145 Heat
When he used to lift the eagle, remove the shaft, and feed the eagle every day at home, Yue Feng also liked to do it next to the dog's kennel in the yard.
If the dog and the eagle are to assist in hunting together, there must be requirements for the dog to be familiar with the eagle. Yue Feng attaches great importance to these details.
It’s just that the eagle is usually held on human hands, but today it was the first time that it fell from the sky in front of the dogs. It seemed to frighten the dogs quite a lot.
Whoosh!
Yue Feng whistled twice and took out the meat slices for the eagle today from a bag on his back.
The big black eagle jumped a few steps, then jumped up and landed on Yue Feng's glove. While squawking, he raised his head and took the piece of meat handed over by Yue Feng.
After today's meal was finished, the big black eagle was still a little unsatisfied, but the hunger in its five internal organs slowly disappeared. The big black eagle squatted on Yue Feng's hand, and its feathers became fluffy again.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Yue Feng was slightly touched in his heart.
After only a short time, the big black eagle was flying in the air and following me home on foot!
Taking advantage of your good condition today, do you want to do a temporary project for additional training?
After a slight hesitation, Yue Feng made up his mind, and he immediately walked up to the tied black wolf with his eagle on his back.
"Hei Lang, I let you play with the big black hawk for a while, but you are not allowed to bite it, do you understand?!" Yue Feng pointed at the big black hawk and said to the black wolf.
The black wolf was obviously a little afraid of the big black hawk, but his master would definitely not hurt him in front of him, so he grunted a few times and wagged his tail again.
Seeing this, Yue Feng untied the rope that tied Hei Lang, then took a small bench and sat in front of Hei Lang.
The black wolf knew that he wanted to play with it, so he came up to him in a flattering manner, wagging his tail.
Yue Feng touched the dog's head, and then placed the cowhide glove on his right hand on the black wolf's back.
"Don't move! Don't move!"
After saying hello, Black Wolf stood there obediently motionless. Yue Feng picked up the cowhide gloves and let the eagle stand on the gloves, and then put them down again. On the back of the black wolf.
When it was first put up, the big black eagle was quite nervous. Its feathers tightened and its wings spread and flickered a few times to maintain balance.
However, with Yue Feng's encouragement, the black wolf didn't move. The big black eagle felt that his dog didn't seem to be aggressive, so he retracted his wings, stepped firmly on his gloves, and stood on the dog's back. superior.
To be precise, the word "stand" is not quite accurate. It should be that the big black hawk squatted on the dog's back.
The standing posture is slightly different from the squatting posture. Squatting here shows that the big black eagle feels more secure. It knows that the dog is also a member of the family and will not attack itself.
Having a high IQ is different. Like this kind of affinity process between hawks and dogs, the falcon needs to live with the stray dog for at least half a month before they can get to know each other, but in Dahei In front of the eagle, this process only took less than ten minutes.
Of course, there is no omission of the usual gestures of raising arms and being friendly in front of the dog, but today is the first time that the hawk and the dog have real close contact consciously.
It was a success the first time! Big Black Eagle once again gave Yue Feng a surprise!
How can I describe this feeling? It’s like the principal of a driving school who recruits a new student. The student doesn’t put much effort into teaching him, but he passes all four exams with ease and is extremely fluent and accomplished. feel!
Yue Feng was watching the big black eagle standing motionless on the black wolf with great pleasure, when suddenly the big black eagle reacted again.
I saw it spreading its wings again, flickering and screaming again.
Quack, quack, quack!
A continuous cry sounded, and the black wolf was a little scared, and his ears were pressed into airplane ears, but the owner did not let him move, and he still stood there without daring to move.
Now Yue Feng finally understood. He originally thought that the big black eagle would bark only when a person is close enough to the eagle, but now he wanted to do a split.
The big black eagle is barking, not at the person, but at the dogs in the yard!
Is this fear? Or deterrence? Or say hello?
Yue Feng couldn't understand the logic behind the big black hawk's behavior for a while. However, it didn't attack the dog actively, nor did it fly away in fear, so it wasn't a big problem.
The eagle squatted on the black wolf's back for a while, and then Yue Feng took off the eagle's gloves, put the hat on the big black eagle, and placed it on the ground beside him.
The big black eagle was taken away, and the black wolf relaxed visibly. It kept wagging its tail at Yue Feng, and then tried to lick Yue Feng's hand.
"Good dog, be obedient! This is our eagle, your partner, you are not allowed to fight with it, let alone bite it, do you hear me?!" Yue Feng didn't care whether Black Wolf understood or not. , pointed to the big black eagle next to him and continued.
Woof woof!
The black wolf barked twice in a row and actually came up to the big black hawk and wanted to lick its feathers. The big black eagle held its hat, not knowing that the dog was licking it, and thought it was being touched by Yue Feng's dirty hands.
Seeing this scene, Yue Feng's head was about to short-circuit. Did Black Wolf consider Big Black Eagle to be the boss?
Thinking back to the unified movements and demeanor of the dogs when the black hawk landed in front of Yue Feng just now, Yue Feng felt relieved.
The eagle itself is the top predator in nature. In the wild, except for the extremely low risk of sneak attacks by eagle owls like eagle owls at night, there really is nothing of natural enemies.
The ancestor of Gouzi is a wolf. Even if it encounters a pack of wolves, the Gyrfalcon has absolute dominance. There is nothing a wolf can do against a raptor, even a smaller sub-adult or half-grown cub. All on top of the Gyrfalcon recipe.
I am quite satisfied with the progress I can make today. Take your time with the rest!
Yue Feng and Ying played with the dog in the yard for a while, and then took Ying back to the north room to warm up by the fire.
In the next three days, Yue Feng continued to strengthen his proficiency in the training subject of following Pan Fei, slowly moving from the open fields to the sparsely forested ridges in the back mountains, and then towards the pine trees Dense forest areas are gradually intensified.
Overall, the performance of the big black eagle is getting better and better. Even if Yue Feng enters a relatively dense larch forest area, the big black eagle can accurately judge Yue Feng's position. It only needs to whistle every once in a while. The big black eagle could easily determine Yue Feng's activity area and follow him obediently above his head. The longest flight following him even lasted for a full hour and a half.
Another flying training was over, and the big black eagle followed Yue Feng back to the yard of his home as usual.
Yue Feng untied all four dogs at home, then took out the bait and blew the whistle. The big black hawk descended from the sky again, accurately grasped the bait and landed on the ground. It continued to eat the meat tied to the bait without raising its head.
None of the four dogs in the family dared to compete with the big black eagle for meat. They all lay down next to Yue Feng, even a little frightened, for fear that their big brother who could fly would beat him if he was upset. (dog).
The big black eagle seemed to be very satisfied with the performance of the dogs at home. After eating the meat on the fake bait, he barked at the dogs a few more times, and then turned around pitifully. Look at Yue Feng.
Yue Feng realized that this big black hawk was really smart and acted quite majestic like Gouzi, but when it turned to face him, it gave people a somewhat flattering feeling.
The way I look at you with my head tilted makes me want to immediately take out the slices of meat prepared in advance and feed them to the big black eagle without hesitation.
Yue Feng exhaled a long breath, whistled, took out the meat, and fed the big black eagle until it was 70% full.
The amount of food fed to the eagle this time was the first time that the eagle was fed so much in the past half month or so of training.
Should I say it, this is somewhat risky. If the eagle's fat condition increases and its controllability decreases, it will just shoot itself in the foot.
However, when Yue Feng made this feeding decision, he had already considered it. The extra 20% of meat would not be enough to restore the eagle to full fat immediately. Even when weighed again tomorrow morning, it might not be enough. I only gained half a pound of weight.
The purpose of Yue Feng's doing this was to tentatively test the changes in the response of the big black eagle to passwords after he gained weight.
After all, from the beginning of playing with this eagle to now, the process has been a little too smooth. To put it a little exaggerated, this big black eagle is like a flying dog. In various training subjects, as long as Yue Feng regulates the process and lets the eagle know what it is. Meaning, this guy can complete it easily and perfectly.
If the Big Black Eagle can pass today's fattening training feedback test, then Yue Feng should consider adjusting the daily food portion to improve the Big Black Eagle's fatness again.
Ideally, if the eagle's body condition returns to a round body and it can maintain extremely high obedience during training, then its performance in actual combat will definitely be improved by at least half a level compared to what it is now. !
In the beginning, human falcon training relies on controlling the eagle's overall body condition, plus enough contact, supplemented by feeding techniques, to increase the affinity between the eagle and people.
However, the decline in body fat is a negative buff for the eagle. Low body fat means poor physical strength. Poor physical strength will affect the performance during training. Excellent eagle handles are best at doing It's just the best choice between affinity and affection.
Yue Feng spent most of the next half day with some anxiety, setting up the hawk step by step, and handing over the shift step by step. In the afternoon, Yue Feng continued to ride his bicycle to the canteen to deliver game. After dinner in the evening, he went into the house to sleep early. I got up in the middle of the night to take over my duties with my father, and continued to hold up the hawk to illuminate the lanterns.
Early the next morning, after the big black eagle came out of its shaft, Yue Feng immediately held the eagle and weighed it.
Big Black Eagle ate seventy percent full yesterday, and its weight increased from three to four and a half pounds to three to five and a half pounds.
The meat that exceeds the normal feeding standard by two taels makes the big black eagle gain one tael and one tael in weight.
Concerned that Ying gained weight yesterday, Yue Feng did not complete the difficult and risky moving follow-up training for today's training plan.
Carrying an eagle, we returned to the field again and had a basic version of mobile follow-up training.
The performance of the next training somewhat surprised Yue Feng. The big black eagle seemed to be used to getting along with people. After gaining weight, the flying altitude of the circle flight was significantly increased, and the flight radius was also increased. Slightly larger, the controllability is still very good.
During the circling and following process, when you hear the whistle, you will immediately adjust the circling position, and the reaction speed does not decrease.
When the eagle followed the people back to the yard at home, when Yue Feng showed off the fake bait and blew the whistle, he still decisively swooped down to eat, without hesitation at all, and did not respond to the whistle, etc. His control was reduced. Performance.
The flying height and the flying radius are increased. Yue Feng’s training performance on these two points is acceptable. This is a good thing. It means that in actual combat, he can have a higher altitude and a larger Search radius.
This was the result of Ying's physical improvement. Yue Feng didn't mind this at all, but was very happy about it.
The bold guess was verified by actual combat training, and Yue Feng fed the big black eagle until it was 70% full.
In the next few days, Yue Feng consolidated the previous training subjects almost every day, and Ying's weight also recovered from more than three kilograms and four taels to about three kilograms and seventy taels.
At this point, Yue Feng did not dare to continue to fatten the eagle for the time being, because the flying radius of the big black eagle had expanded from the previous two to three hundred meters to four to five hundred meters. Compared with the beginning, Almost doubled.
The bigger the flying radius, the better. After all, people’s field of vision in the mountains and forests is limited. The larger the flying radius is, the harder it will be for people to find eagles in the sky with the naked eye. .
The current level has basically reached the upper limit of Yue Feng's risk assessment. If he wants to improve it in the future, he must build more trust through actual combat before he can continue.
After 23 days of training, Yue Feng's training with the Big Black Eagle basically met expectations. All the basic training subjects of hunting in the early stage were performed well.
This means that it’s time to find an opportunity to take the big black eagle to the forest area for selective logging and practice becoming an eagle!
That afternoon, Yue Feng held a meeting with several friends in the team. Everyone was very excited when they heard that the big black eagle was preparing to go up the mountain to become an eagle.
After all, there are so many hunters around Fang'an Village, and Yue Feng is the only one who is truly a master of falconry and hunting, and the legendary Haidongqing that goes up the mountain to become an eagle is even more rare among the rare.
Xiao Tao and brother Xiaowen and Xiaowu follow up on Yue Feng's training progress every day. After such a long time, they finally have to test the results.
After making up their mind, the four brothers gathered at Yue Feng’s house at dawn the next morning.
Because it was the first time for the big black eagle to become an eagle, I didn’t take all the dogs up the mountain with me today. Yue Feng only took the smartest black wolf with him.
Four people, a gun, a dog, and a Haidongqing went up the mountain. The target hunting ground was No. 12 Forest Farm, which was not far from the last hunting ground No. 13.
After this period of cultivation and development, the faces of the Yue Feng team members became rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye. They dragged wild boars to their homes several times in a row, and the meat reserves at home were not eaten until the New Year. Question, I normally go up the mountain to fly eagles and catch pheasants and game. Although the daily prey income is much less due to the lower weather and climate, I still have a comprehensive income of 100 yuan in one month. Everyone is very motivated every time I go up the mountain. high.
After leaving the village, the four brothers walked along the nearest mountain road and hiked over the mountains. In about two hours, they arrived at their destination, Mountain Field No. 12.
