Chapter 155 Bounty
In heavy smoke and cannon weather, visibility is no more than three meters. The north wind is like a knife, blowing on the unprotected face, and soon there will be a dark red mark, what kind of tracking dog? Looking at footprints is useless in the face of cruel nature.
Under such harsh natural weather that is beyond human control, the pursuit of black bears that injure people is naturally put on hold for the time being.
Not to mention the forest ranger team, even the Yue Feng team who were in high spirits the night before could not go anywhere and could only stay at home obediently.
The weather forecast for the next day said that this was a cold wave from Siberia sweeping across the Northeast, with the lowest temperature reaching minus 41 degrees.
There was such bad weather for three days in a row. On the fourth day, the wind and snow finally stopped.
Continuous snowfall, the thickness of snow outside the village exceeds 30 centimeters, and in some ditches downwind, the snow even exceeds one meter. If you are not familiar with the terrain and step on it, the snow may not reach it directly. On the chest, the entire Changbai Mountains were completely covered by heavy snow.
The news that a black bear attacked Lengchang on the mountain a few days ago spread quickly in the surrounding villages. For a while, every house had its doors and windows closed, fearing that the black bear walking on ice would come down the mountain again. Going into the village hurts people or something.
At the forest farm, after the weather cleared up, a forest ranger team was organized to go up the mountain, hoping to follow the trail of the blind bear to avoid future troubles.
However, several days of continuous smoke cannons, strong winds and heavy snow have completely wiped away all traces. Even if the hunters brought the most awesome leading dogs from the mountains, they could not find the black bear blind man. traces.
It had just snowed heavily. Yue Feng and the others would naturally not go up the mountain to fight before the snow shell was hardened. Let alone kill a black bear that injured someone, even if there was a big quadriplegic paw waiting for their brothers to go up the mountain. They wouldn't be tempted to carry it home.
Some people may complain after seeing this. Isn’t it just snowing a little? You often eat in the mountains and forests, and you are still afraid of this?
Speak responsibly, afraid.
And the more experienced mountain hunters are, the more they are in awe of this extreme weather.
Heavy snow can not only cover the mountain paths, but also cover up many dangers that can be avoided with the naked eye. For example, the ditches between mountains may even be completely filled with snow after a heavy snowfall. , the snow was no higher than the top of my head, and I was almost unlucky to find any branches or other things underneath. If there were no companions to help, my life might have been lost.
In this way, for the next week, everyone in Yue Feng's team hardly took any action. They either gathered together to eat and drink every day, or watched Yue Feng play with the dog and eagle at home. They had food and drink, and lived a pretty good life. Not too hard to bear.
After the big drop in temperature, there were continuous warm days. When the snow crust on the mountain slowly hardened, everyone continued to think about the blind bear who had committed a major crime but was still at large and had not been found.
"Brother Feng, do you think that blind bear who hurt someone will freeze to death due to the smoke and fire weather?" Xiao Tao had a thin broomstick in his mouth. Zhuan'er asked thoughtfully.
Yue Feng shook his head: "Didn't I hear that the bear killed the guard dog in Lenchang? When he was leaving, he took the dog away! Lao Changtou's native shotgun held him to death. Give the bear a slight injury. If the bear has food and drink, it will be able to withstand the smoke cannons of the past few days. "
"The forest farm should organize people to go up the mountain to look for this bear in the past few days! , I haven’t heard any news either!” Xiaowen also echoed.
Yue Feng curled his lips: "This bear may not be hiding anywhere! The heavy snow in the past few days has covered up its scent and traces. If you try to trace it, you should not be able to trace it! If it hurts someone and flees into the mountains, Maybe this thing will be overturned!”
“I’m afraid that when the weather gets better, it won’t be able to forgive itself. People come and go up and down Chaiji Road at the forest farm every day. If someone attacks someone again, there will be no way to survive. !" Xiao Tao said with a bit of compassion.
Xiao Tao was really blinded. Just a few days after the heavy snow had subsided, the tenant who was trying to set up a condo near the No. 27 forest area was attacked by a vengeful black bear again when he got off work!
The tenant was also from a nearby village. Nothing happened to him. He just fell off the carriage and scratched his forehead.
But the big red mule who worked for him suffered a lot.
The black bear used its sharp claws to cut open the mule's abdominal cavity, devoured the big mule's internal organs, and then walked away.
That afternoon, another worker responsible for maintaining the road along Chai Chi Road was attacked by a black bear again. One was killed and the other injured. The injured man's entire face was licked by the black bear, and it is said that his scalp was ripped off. Even if he is cured, he is still a cripple.
Three consecutive incidents of injuries to people and horses completely angered the forest farm's senior management. The forest farm contacted the township security department and sent the news to the villages down the mountain via phone.
The forest farm is offering a reward of two hundred yuan, plus a hundred catties of food stamps, and seeks hunters to go up the mountain to hunt this crazy black bear!
Xiao Tao and the others couldn't hold their breath after hearing the message shouted from the loudspeaker of the village headquarters.
"Brother Feng, the loudspeakers are shouting, that's a reward of two hundred yuan, plus one hundred kilograms of food stamps! Let's lead the dog up the mountain!!" Xiao Tao said excitedly.
After hearing the news, Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: "This battle is not easy to fight! Have you ever thought that the forest farm needs people and guns? Why is there such a high reward? People are hunting bears!”
“It must be that their people didn’t find the bears! Those people may not be bad at shooting, but in terms of professional hunting, they are far from good! Well, Black Wolf and Dahuang can't both find the bear along the cold road! I think this money is almost free!" Xiao Tao said matter-of-factly.
Yue Feng said nothing after hearing this, and turned to look at Xiaowen Xiaowu next to him.
"Xiaowen, what do you think?"
Xiaowen also shook his head: "This snow zone is not easy to fight! With such heavy snow, it is halfway up the mountain on the other side of Forest Area 27, so the snow will only be heavier. ! Maybe, the snow is too deep and the dog can’t stay!
Don’t even find the blind bear. Even if you find it, the dog will have trouble walking in the snow and won’t be able to avoid the bear’s attack! , one slap at a time. The four dogs in our family can receive up to four slaps. When people arrive, they will only be able to collect the dog's body!"
"My brother was right, the two of us did it the year before last. Li Dapao, who followed my uncle and the others up the mountain, joined the gang, and the two dogs in his hands were so useless! The cannon's eggs were shot one at a time, and the two good dogs of four or five years old were beaten into pieces in three strokes. The fangs are picked, and there is no way to avoid it!" Xiao Wu also echoed.
"Then, what if we lead the dog? The dog is responsible for tracking, and the person holds the gun to solve the battle!" Xiao Tao made another suggestion.
"Then the blind bear suddenly came out of some snow den and gave you a cold blow. Can you withstand it? This bear took the initiative to attack and killed both of them!" Yue Feng said meaningfully.
"Uh... let's forget it! This guy is a hot potato!" After listening to the analysis of several people, Xiao Tao touched his nose in embarrassment. "Let's wait a little longer. When the snow shell freezes a little harder and the dogs can hold it up, let's go again! Everyone wants to make money, but I have to be responsible for everyone's safety! You can't be jealous of money.
We have had a smooth journey from autumn to now, but your dad was injured and died!" Yue Feng's words settled the matter. After setting the tone, the other three members of the team no longer mentioned going up the mountain.
Two days later, new news came. The forest ranger team asked several hunters from Xinghua to help, gathered six dogs, and formed a team to hunt down the blind bear. The result was almost completely consistent with Yue Feng's previous prediction.
Six dogs went up the mountain, and five and a half of them were broken. The only dog that survived had his back broken and paralyzed. It was considered that the whole army was wiped out overnight and returned to the pre-liberation period.
The next day, another worker on Chaiji Road was attacked by a bear. This time the noise was even greater. Two of the three workers from the Chaiji Road Maintenance Team were seriously injured and one was slightly injured.
The Chaiji Road that goes down the mountain from No. 27 Forest Farm has become a restricted area for life. Not only the tenants who pull wood dare not leave, but even the workers who go to and from get off work would rather climb a few more mountain ridges to sit down on the mountain. The little train takes a detour home.
During the long period of attacking humans, this vengeful blind black bear has accumulated a lot of experience in sneak attacks, including gun leaks, dog leaks, night attacks, hunting in cold winter, wounding people to death, and mourning. Cubs, several large buffs.
In terms of the degree of danger to hunters, this thing is basically full of buffs and is more difficult to deal with than the seven to eight hundred kilograms of bear bears in the deep mountains and old forests.
The dangers of bears lie in their intelligence and their size. To put it simply, intelligence is far greater than their size. Because of the existence of firearms, it does not mean that bigger bears are more difficult to deal with. This kind of bear has various practical effects of hurting people. An experienced bear, even if it is small, is far more dangerous than a big bear in the ordinary sense.
The forest farm workers collectively went on strike and asked their work unit to report the situation. Even normal commuting safety could not be guaranteed. In desperation, the forest farm raised the amount of the reward to three hundred yuan, plus an additional two hundred yuan. Jin national food stamps.
A heavy reward must be rewarded by a brave man, and hunters who are not afraid of trouble go up the mountain one after another to escape. As a result, the news that came back this time is even more mysterious. The hurtful black bear actually learned to wear people's helmets. He was wearing a dog-skin hat and waving at people, trying to lure them forward to launch a sneak attack.
Thanks to the experience and caution of one of the old hunters, he was able to get out of the way. He shot the bear with a barrel gun from a hundred meters away, but the black blind man ran away again. dropped.
Okay, now we have one more buff!
In the past ten days or so, the blind bears who were active on the hills around Forest Area No. 27 were not killed. Especially when the news came out that the bears were wearing hats, many superstitious hunters did not dare to go there. Calling on this evil bear is a sign of wisdom!
However, Yue Feng has been paying attention to the situation on the mountain. When the weather is good, Yue Feng will take the big black eagle to go for a walk on several mountain ridges behind the village that are familiar with the terrain.
In the recent period, it cannot be said that Yue Feng has gained nothing at all. Big Black Eagle has never given up on his training. At this moment, Big Black Eagle's performance has improved by another level.
Yue Feng took off his eagle hat right at the door of his home. The big black eagle followed Yue Feng up the mountain. Then he wandered around the mountain for a few times until he got tired and then went down the mountain. The whole time he followed Yue Feng in the air has exceeded Three and a half hours.
When the snow shell was almost frozen hard, Yue Feng felt that the time was ripe to deal with the evil blind bear.
He asked Xiao Tao to call all the team members to gather at home, and after emphasizing a series of precautions, he took the family's four hounds with a big black hawk on his head, and went up the mountain in a mighty manner.
After more than ten days of alternation between hot and cold, the snow on the mountain has changed significantly. The snow shell is frozen hard. Although it will still be crushed when people step on it, there is no big obstacle for dogs to step on it. .
Yue Feng, Xiao Tao and their four brothers had a clear goal of going up the mountain this time, which was to go to the blind bear in the forest farm No. 27, so they kept the dog on a leash all the way until they reached the destination. The dogs are loose.
"Brother, what should we do? Let the dog have sex?" Xiaowen asked.
Yue Feng nodded: "You two are not allowed to leave separately. You should all prepare your invasion knives and spears in advance! Let's not let the dogs search the mountain directly, and just sift through them one by one in a down-to-earth manner. As long as it's still moving around, it will definitely leave a trail of scent!"
After saying hello, Yue Feng asked Xiaowen to let go of the dog's leash.
"Big yellow and black wolf, please keep watch around, don't run away!" Yue Feng had already tried this method of giving orders to dogs when he went into the mountains to train eagles last time.
The dogs trained by Chen Pao have very strict rules. As long as they are not given clear commands to find or chase, the dogs will move around a certain area of the owner.
This kind of dog training subject is usually of little use. Dog hunting actually mainly relies on the cooperation ability of the dog gang. The role that humans can play is nothing more than the finale and the end of the battle, so The vast majority of hunting dogs will not be trained to be alert and not allowed to run around.
However, this subject played a big role when we went up the mountain to look for this murderous black bear today.
Dogs will not leave people's sight and only move within a certain range, so they are both vigilantes and naughty dogs. Now that the snow shell is frozen hard, it will not get trapped in the dog's legs, even if there is an emergency and they are attacked. , the dog at least has the ability to protect himself.
In this way, Yue Feng and four people, followed by four dogs, began the boring job of searching the mountain in the No. 27 forest area. They searched the whole mountain, including rhubarb and black wolf, but found nothing useful. traces and smells.
Low temperature, heavy snow, and strong winds will all affect the spread and preservation of scent in the air. No useful clues were found on the entire mountain, which at least meant that the black bear had not been around that day.
So, Yue Feng took Gouzi and continued to manually screen the blank areas that had not been searched.
This time, valuable traces were found at the bottom of a ditch outside a hilltop from Chaiji Road.
A black pile of bear daddy was discovered first by Dahuang, the best in the show, and he shouted loudly at Yue Feng and others.
When Yue Feng heard the dog barking, he immediately turned on the safety warning with his gun. After observing around to make sure there was no danger, he led his men towards the place where the dog was barking.
