Chapter 235 The leopard hangs himself and the black hawk chases the stick
The roar of this wild adult leopard is completely different from the meowing sound of the cheetah in the animal world. It is a low-frequency roar, similar to the meowing sound of the cheetah in the animal world. Tiger Roar is somewhat similar.
After the deep voice brushed against the person's ears, the person's whole face felt a little numb. The kind of fear that comes from genes makes people involuntarily have instinctive fear.
“This is the movement of the female leopard!” Uncle Zhao said with certainty.
“Could it be that the deer sinew lasso trapped the female leopard?”
"No, if you are trapped, you will definitely not be able to scream with confidence. I suspect that the kid was trapped!"
After a brief trance, Yue Feng immediately took off the 56 semi-rifle from his shoulder. , then opened the safety and entered a ready state ready to enter combat at any time.
"It doesn't look like it. Don't let either of us get distracted. Let's take turns covering the ground and move forward. Pay attention to the blind spots!"
Uncle Zhao also used the 56 and a half that Xiaowu used. After picking it off, the two people moved forward in search formation, one behind the other, three or four meters apart.
We walked forward for a while, and soon there were many traces of snow foam left by being dragged by sticks on the ground.
Uncle Zhao lowered his head and glanced a few times, then turned around and said, "It's trapped! The stick has been dragged. Let's chase it forward and we should be able to find the real owner!"
Yue Feng nodded, Holding the 56 and a half position, he still didn't relax.
The two followed the dragging traces for dozens of meters, and soon the traces disappeared. Uncle Zhao circled around the two trees and finally raised his head.
When I saw this, I was suddenly startled.
A small beast, about the size of a dog, was hanging on the tree.
Yes, you read that right, hanging!
The stick that was originally used to drag wood was dragged up the tree by the little beast. It seemed that when it was climbing up, the branch happened to get stuck on the stick, and then the little beast didn't know how to struggle. After falling from the tree, it becomes a 'hanging' shape with a noose around the head and a stick blocked on the branch of the tree.
"It's the leopard cub that was hanged!" Uncle Zhao said, squinting and looking around.
"Then, should I climb up and pick off the body?" Yue Feng asked.
Neither of them wore foot braces. After all, Yue Feng was much younger than the old man. Uncle Zhao definitely couldn't do this kind of tree climbing work.
Uncle Zhao squinted his eyes and looked up again, and shook his head: "No, give it two shots to break the rope and it will fall! You step aside and continue to be vigilant! Let me try the accuracy of this 56-meter-new gun!" "
As he was talking, he saw Uncle Zhao put the gun to his face, and pulled the trigger with almost no obvious pause in aiming.
Bang bang!
Two consecutive bullets were fired from the front and rear legs. The deer tendon rope tied to a wooden stick was interrupted by the precise bullet hit. Then with a pop, the hanging leopard cub hanging on the head a few meters high fell to the ground. Under the tree.
Yue Feng still kept his gun on alert and glanced around, fearing that the hiding female leopard would go crazy again after seeing her cub and attack people at all costs.
But this didn't happen. Except for the rustling of the wind, there was nothing unusual around him.
Uncle Zhao carefully took a few steps forward and picked out the dead and frozen leopard cub with the muzzle of his gun.
"The cub, which is less than a year old, has been hanging for at least several hours! It has already frozen solid! I don't know what the rope is like. It doesn't cover the paws, but it covers the head! It must be smelling When I reached the smell, I lowered my head and sniffed and triggered the noose! The height of the small bush that triggered the noose was limited, so the noose was not locked directly, so it was equivalent to tying a rope around the leopard cub's neck.
< br>It tried to climb up the tree while dragging the stick, but it failed and was hanged.
It was better to shoot it with a gun, at least there would be two more bullet holes, and now the deerskin rope was used! The child was hanged, except for an inconspicuous strangulation mark on his neck, but there was a whole piece of leather!
This thing is so complete that it can be used as a specimen! "
Hearing what Uncle Zhao said, Yue Feng lowered his gun and took a closer look.
With just one glance, Yue Feng was completely taken by the beautiful fur of the leopard. There are circles of gold and black lines, somewhat like the shape of a copper coin.
No wonder the older generation calls this Northeastern leopard a golden leopard. This half-grown cub is so beautiful. How beautiful it would be if it were an adult male leopard.
"Uncle, if we take this leopard cub body back, can we take advantage of the opportunity to hide in the cellar and fire a few more shots?" ? "Yue Feng asked.
"You can try it! The leopard cub probably heard his mother's call and struggled to get down from the tree, so he hanged himself! The female leopard was 100% hiding around!
Anyway, it was already there The strangulation is completely frozen, so we are not in a hurry to skin it, we just need to take it all back to the ground!"
"Okay! I'll carry the leopard, please pay attention to your surroundings!"
"Okay!"
Uncle Zhao took off the deer tendon rope from the leopard cub's neck, and then Yue Feng carried the leopard cub, which weighed only seventy or eighty kilograms. Holding a gun on guard, he carefully walked out of the forest.
After emerging from the dense forest, Yue Feng and Uncle Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
When we reach a place with a relatively wide field of vision, those with guns are no longer afraid of these beasts. Go home!
The two of them strolled back home along the ridge path. When they were about to reach the cellar, the roar of a female leopard sounded again at least a few hundred meters away behind them.
"It's coming! Don't look back, we just pretend we don't know anything!" Uncle Zhao warned, and continued walking shoulder to shoulder with Yue Feng.
Soon, Yue Feng carried the leopard's cub back to the cellar. The four dogs smelled the leopard's scent and immediately broke into camp and barked crazily.
"Stop! Shut up!!"
With Yue Feng's order, the four dogs immediately silenced themselves. The other three dogs were very excited and wanted to throw themselves down to see what their master had done. Only the black wolf, after looking at and sniffing a few times, acted relatively calmly and lay on the ground.
In the eyes of the black wolf, the master and the uncle had already shot a section of the tail at night, so it was normal to bring the prey back now.
Hearing the noise of the dogs, Xiaowen and his three brothers also got dressed.
Pushing open the cellar door, the first thing you see is Yue Feng carrying a leopard carcass and lowering it down.
"Damn it! Brother, you and Uncle Zhao were beaten back by the leopard so early in the morning!" Xiao Tao shouted immediately.
Xiaowen and Xiaowu also came closer and looked at the beautiful leopard carefully.
"Is this a condom? Didn't you see the hole made by the bullet?" Xiaowen observed carefully and quickly discovered the abnormality. "This leopard had a condom around its neck, dragged a stick up a tree, and was hanged!
Don't be in a hurry, the female leopard seems to have followed people back. When we went to see the condom just now , I heard a leopard roar before entering the forest, and when I was halfway back carrying the body, I heard another roar! ”
"What should we do?"
Hearing that the female leopard was coming back, Xiao Tao immediately subconsciously wanted to find a weapon, but after a few glances he realized that there were so many people and dogs, even if the leopard came Yes, there is no danger in broad daylight.
"Don't panic! Even if this leopard is wandering around during the day, it will definitely not dare to come close!
After breakfast, we will go hunting in Luming Valley as usual. When we come back in the evening, we will queue up Watch the night, if the female leopard dares to come, we will kill it with a gun!"
Uncle Zhao is the backbone of everyone at the moment. After hearing his arrangements, everyone was slightly nervous. Recover.
"Then, when will the skin be peeled off? Let's wait until tomorrow?"
"Yes, let's not peel it off yet. After breakfast, we will bury a stick next to the fence in the south of the small courtyard and put it on The leopard carcass is hanging on it. If the female leopard dares to come, let it be shot!"
"That's it! What about putting it in the house during the day?"
"Well, let's put it in the house for now! Come on! Get some snow to cover it, it won’t be damaged!”
“Uncle, let’s go to Luming Valley, will the female leopard follow us?” Xiaowen suddenly thought of a possibility and asked immediately.
"It's not ruled out, but it's not a big problem. The view over Luming Valley is relatively wide, so we just need to pay attention! As for the three guns, two guns are still 56 and a half. Just be careful and don't jump alone. Leopards don't dare to sneak attack!"
......
After a few brief discussions, everyone immediately got busy.
After having breakfast, simply organizing the things for hunting, and feeding the dogs, five people, four dogs, and a big black hawk rushed towards the direction of Luming Valley.
With the experience of going back last time, everyone was obviously much familiar with the route this time. We followed Uncle Zhao over the mountain ridge and then walked through the depression. It took an hour and a half and we successfully arrived at the route we had visited last time. Luming Valley.
The last time traces of deer activity were found was on the opposite side of the mountain reservoir. This time Yue Feng and the others chose to search here as their first search direction. After arriving at the approximate location, Yue Feng took off the big black eagle that had been standing on his arm. hat.
During the whole day yesterday, except when eating, the big black eagle kept its hat on. Without stretching its wings, the big black eagle would have been suffocated.
Now that I saw the owner taking it back to the place where I last shot a red deer, the big black eagle immediately started quacking excitedly.
After shouting excitedly for a few times, the feathers of the big black eagle instantly fluffed down, then shook its head and shook its head, then spread its wings against the wind, and soon jumped into the air, following Yue Feng hovered above his head.
The falcon is in place, and the dogs also know that it is the turn of the paw team to work. Yue Feng issued a search order. The two dogs, Dahuang and Black Wolf, immediately sniffed around and started searching. Potential targets that may exist.
Some of the traces around are still the remaining traces from the time we came back, such as the tooth marks caused by the red deer gnawing on the branches, or the footprints that have not been completely covered by Xue Mozi, etc. Black Wolf and Dahuang searched around and found nothing. Short-term residual odor.
However, the fact that the dogs did not find the target does not mean that there is no target. It is just that the search distance of their sniffing is limited.
The big black eagle, which had just taken off and climbed to a height of about 100 meters, had already begun to think about how to cooperate with its master and the gang members after the last battle.
Now that Yue Feng releases the big black eagle, there is basically no restriction on the diameter of its flight circle, so the autonomy of the big black eagle is very high.
In the relatively open terrain of the river valley, the big black eagle can do many things. It can fly high to search for prey, fly low to chase the prey, fight with the prey, etc.
The hunting experience of two red deer, one big and one small, last time made the big black eagle know that although he can hurt the prey, he still has to rely on his little brother and his master to finally end the battle!
Fighting alone is tiring, and there are still certain dangers. It is far less efficient than hunting with other companions.
The big black eagle realized this and saw the barking team below sniffing for prey. It rose higher into the sky again and did not stop until it was close to a height of two hundred meters. Come down.
The eyesight of an eagle is far superior to that of humans. The higher flying altitude brings a larger detection radius. After the eagle scans, unless it is a motionless prey hidden in the grass in advance, it will be difficult to escape. Eagle's eyes.
Soon, the big black eagle relied on its super eyesight to spot a herd of seven sika deer.
This herd is led by two adult stags with antlers on their heads, followed by three doe deer, plus two smaller sub-adult fawns. At this moment, the deer herd is more than 1.5 kilometers away from the Yuefeng hunting team in a straight line. I found that there was a hunter chasing me behind me, and I was leisurely eating twigs and leaves on the edge of a bush.
After discovering the big black eagle of its prey, its clever little mind immediately started to act.
How can the owner discover this group of prey as soon as possible?
After thinking about it for a while, I still have to go back and report the news!
Thinking of this, the big black hawk changed its direction in the air, and then flew back towards the formation position where its master was searching.
In the blink of an eye, the big black eagle flew to the top of Yue Feng's head, and then fell from the high altitude to the low altitude, screaming loudly.
Hearing the noise, Yue Feng and others immediately looked up and checked. After discovering that it was a big black eagle squawking, Yue Feng knew that the target had come back to report again.
"The big black eagle has found its target! The man is holding the dog and chasing it in the direction of its flight!" Yue Feng greeted, and Xiaowen and Xiaotao immediately called the two dogs back. He tied a hemp rope and led him in pursuit in the direction of the big black eagle's flight.
On the other side, the big black eagle spotted following the team flew over the deer again, and then began its first dive.
After the last battle with the Red Deer Cubs, the Big Black Eagle knew that he could not hurt these big guys, so he simply stopped attacking them and focused on chasing them away and harassing them.
Animals are naturally afraid of birds of prey. This is the coercion engraved in their blood. The deer group was harassed by the big black eagle and immediately became riotous.
The largest stag made a chirping sound, and the other companions fled.
At this time, we can see where the big black eagle is smart.
It consciously controls the direction of the deer's escape in the air. When it finds that it has strayed, it will deliberately fly over to drive the deer away to keep the direction of the deer closer to its owner.
In this way, many people may not have the idea. They have seen frontier shepherd dogs driving sheep on the grassland, right? The behavior of the big black hawk at this moment is basically similar to that of a sheepdog driving a flock of sheep.
It's just that deer run a little faster than sheep, but the big black hawk is much faster than a sheepdog, so it's not afraid of the deer getting away.
At this moment, if Yue Feng and Uncle Zhao had a drone that allowed them to view the driving behavior of the big black eagle from a high-altitude perspective, they would definitely be extremely excited.
This big baby has learned how to drive and trap prey without a teacher!
I did a lot at noon yesterday, but there was no update as promised in the afternoon. The schedule has changed a bit, and I can't help myself. When the real work is finished, I will gradually pay off the debt, and I will hold my fist!
