Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

The brothers had a full lunch with chicken soup and soon got busy.

Yue Feng casually picked up the fox skin that Xiao Tao had peeled off and placed it in front of Canglong and Dahuang.

"Canglong, Dahuang! Smell it! Find it!!"

At the command, the two dogs immediately lay down and started sniffing.

The fox had a strong smell, and in the blink of an eye, both dogs were attracted by it.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Canglong had already begun to smell the scent of the fox in the air, and his pointed mouth kept barking towards the southwest direction of the mound.

"I've admitted that I'm a bitch! Chase me!!!"

Yue Feng called out and Canglong immediately rushed out, running forward quickly with his head held high.

In comparison, Dahuang's reaction was obviously a beat slower, but he quickly caught up. The other dogs also took action when they saw their owner move.

Yue Feng took big strides and quickly followed.

The first stop was the place where the fox had just gone to steal the pheasant’s internal organs. Canglong quickly followed the scent trail to get here, sniffed the ground, adjusted direction, and continued chasing forward.

Several members of the hunting team continued to chase behind. The blue dragon in front circled the mound half a circle and came to the area roughly due south of the mound. It climbed up a few steps and stopped at a hidden cave entrance.

Wang Wang Wang!
The Canglong put its claws on the ground and dug it symbolically, and its little tail shook like a fan.

The meaning is very simple, Master, the smell is here, look at how powerful I am!

Yue Feng patted the dog's head and said, "Well done!!"

Xiao Tao, carrying his hunting bag, approached the cave entrance, took a look, and then began to take firecrackers out of his pocket.

"It's the turn of the blasting team! Big brother, what's our tactic? Should we just use firecrackers?"

Xiao Tao asked as he pulled out the white-skinned hemp bomb.

This firecracker is very powerful and is about as thick as an adult's thumb. If you set one off in a valley on a meadow, the sound can be heard from far away.

Yue Feng lowered his head to observe the exit of the fox den and did not rush to take action. Instead, he stared at the footprints on the snow shell, thoughtfully.

This cave entrance must be where the fox came out, but there are only a few sparse footprints on the snow, which seems a little strange.

To put it simply, this place is more like a temporary inn, not the kind of cave that you go in and out of every day.

The outdoor temperature in Northeast China is at least minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius in winter, and foxes cannot hibernate, so they have to go out hunting for food every few days.

This objective situation is somewhat inconsistent with the current situation at the cave entrance.

"Don't be in a hurry to blow it up! I think there should be other caves. The marks at this cave entrance don't look right! If we blow it up rashly, what if the fox escapes from somewhere else?"

Xiao Tao scratched his head while holding the disassembled single-piece hemp bomb fuse: "Uh, where is the hole? It should be gone! Does this thing still have three burrows?"

"Look again! There are many pheasants here, and there are large areas of sedge grass. The foxes will have plenty of food, and it will be easy for them to reproduce!"

After saying this, Yue Feng touched Canglong's head and said, "Canglong, look around to see if there are other exits! Leave one person to guard this cave entrance first!"

Xiaowen held a pine stick in his hand and volunteered, "I'll guard it! If you dare to come out, I'll beat you to death with one blow of the stick!"

Yue Feng waved his hands and said, "No need to beat him to death. This fire fox won't be caught by the eagle if we don't fight it. If it comes out, you can just warn him in time!

Let’s continue searching!”

Canglong understood his master's order and began to sniff around again. He wandered around the cave entrance for a while, and as if he caught a scent coming from a higher altitude, he immediately rushed up quickly.

Yue Feng's judgment was indeed correct. The fire fox had more than one hole on this side of the mound.

There is a hole on the sunny slope at the bottom of the mound on the south side. A little further west, near the top of the mound, there is another hole behind a stone.

Keep looking, there is a hidden cave under an inconspicuous snow shell on the north side.

At this time, the difference between Gouzi and Saolu can be seen.

Although Dahuang is also a very capable hunting dog, his performance in finding the entrance to a cave is not as good as that of Canglong, which has half wolf blood.

After becoming an adult, Canglong's riding skills are fast, accurate and steady.

In terms of the speed of reaction in distinguishing tastes, it is obviously faster than rhubarb.

Two open cave entrances and one hidden cave entrance were found, and Yue Feng had a clear idea in his mind.

This fox is indeed cunning. The traces of entry and exit of the cave behind the stone are very obvious, and it has become a clear animal trail.

Judging from the direction the animal trail extends, it should be heading towards the large meadow in the south.

Yue Feng arranged his brothers to guard the three cave entrances. Then he gave the order to Gou Zi, asking him to stay where he was and not to move.

Seeing this, some people may have doubts.

Why didn't the hunting dog let it move? Since wild animals have to survive the eagle's tribulation, is there a saying that they have to survive the dog's tribulation?

Indeed, falcons and hounds are hunting tools of hunters. It is no problem for a hound to bite a fox to death.

Why doesn’t Yue Feng allow it to be used?

It has nothing to do with this. The main reason is that it is easy for a hound to kill a fox, but it is very difficult to leave its skin intact.

As for the six dogs, if they find a fox, they will most likely be caught before they can run far, and then they will bite each other together and tear even the finest fox skin into pieces.

All the effort is just to get a complete fire fox skin. If it is just to be used by the dogs to grind their teeth, it would be better not to harm them.

Taking all factors into consideration, it is enough to use the dog's ability to find the entrance to the cave, and it is more appropriate to let Big Black Hawk and Little White Spear do the rest.

After Yue Feng arranged three people to guard the cave entrance, he took Xiao Tao back to the cave entrance behind the stone.

"Xiao Tao, fire the cannons from here! Two muffled cannons and one loud cannon, damn it!"

Xiao Tao was already eager to try, and after hearing the greeting, he said, "Okay, just watch me!"

Xiao Tao skillfully removed two more firecrackers, used the handle of his knife to break two pieces of soil on the bottom of the firecrackers, and then connected the last complete firecracker fuse with the previous one.

Light the fuse and throw it deep into the cave.

Bang! Bang! Bang!
With a muffled sound, the snow crust on the surrounding surface seemed to vibrate, and the pungent smell of burning gunpowder spread immediately!
The two plus one configuration is really awesome, and the smell of gunpowder is quite strong.

The next second, Yue Feng saw a pointed fox mouth coming out of the cave. Before he could react, it immediately shrank back.

"Fox!!" Xiao Tao shouted and reached out with a stick to poke.

How could a human's reaction speed be faster than that of a fox? Before the stick even hit the ground, the fox retreated and hid.

Yue Feng had some knowledge of the cunningness of foxes, but he did not expect this guy to be so alert.

Don't give me a chance.

Just when I was wondering whether to let Xiao Tao light another round of firecrackers, less than ten seconds later, Xiaowu behind the mound shouted.

"They're coming out, three big foxes, all with red hair!!! They're running forward!!"

When Yue Feng heard the shout, he turned around and jumped back, whistling at the falcon in the sky as he jumped.

This kind of work of using firecrackers to blow up the hole and then letting the falcon dive and attack is not the first time for Big Black Hawk and Little White Spear.

In fact, from the moment the explosion was heard, the big black eagle had already been hovering above the mound, waiting for its master's orders.

Hearing the whistle commanding the attack, the big black eagle folded its wings, swooped down at an extremely high speed, and kicked the fox running in front.

This time, the fox didn't react as quickly as the one in the morning.

The speed of the dive from a height of nearly 100 meters was extremely astonishing. The fox, hearing the howl, just subconsciously lowered its head slightly, and was kicked hard on the back of the head by the big black eagle.

Snapped!
With a crisp sound, the running fox suddenly rolled over in the snow. Blood began to flow from its nose, eyes, and ears. It kicked the ground with its hind legs a few times and then stopped moving.

Kill with one blow.

it is good! ! !
Yue Feng saw the entire process of Big Black Hawk's fatal kick and subconsciously clenched his fists.

The wide field, unobstructed view, and a body weight of more than ten kilograms are factors that perfectly suit the hunting ability of the gyrfalcon.

That's a perfect professional match.

The big black eagle, which had succeeded in its attack, turned at a height of seven or eight meters and continued to chase forward.

Of the other two foxes, one was locked by the little white spear. After two consecutive dive attacks, it failed to hit the vital part and had already run more than ten meters.

The big black eagle flapped its wings desperately, climbing altitude while chasing.

When Little White Spear aimed his attack at the second fox, who was kicked over and lost his balance, he also swooped down and kicked decisively.

Snapped!
There was another crisp sound.

The second fox was even more unlucky. When he fell and rolled over, the big black eagle kicked him hard in the soft belly.

The fox was bent over like a shrimp. It tried to turn over twice but failed and could not stand up anymore. It let out a sharp cry.

Without a second's delay, Little White Spear swooped down again and kicked the fox in the head again.

The seriously injured fox was motionless.

The two eagles working together to fight these small beasts on the ground were extremely efficient. In less than three rounds, the two fire foxes were taken down.

At this moment, of the three foxes that jumped out from the hidden entrance of the cave, only the last one was left, and he fled without looking back.

"There's still one left, keep chasing!!"

Yue Feng pointed in the direction where the third fox fled and continued whistling.

The two eagles adjusted their directions in the air and continued to chase forward.

The fox ran about forty or fifty meters away, which was just a matter of a wing for the eagle.

However, when the big black eagle and the little white eagle were about thirty or forty meters away and were about to get close to the fox, they suddenly raised their flying altitude at the same time.

The two eagles dodged to the sides, one on the left and one on the right, in a very tacit understanding, as if there was an invisible wall of air in the middle.

Yue Feng was slightly stunned when he saw this.

What the hell, could it be that this Fire Fox has some unspeakable skills or something? Is this to increase the strength of the Eagle?

The next second, the big black eagle made a very oppressive rattling sound, and suddenly turned over in flight, revealing its pair of sharp eagle claws.

It was at this time that Yue Feng saw a bird of prey that was at least one or two sizes larger than the black eagle swooping down at high speed from the sky and rushing straight towards the black eagle.

With just one glance, Yue Feng recognized the big guy swooping down.

Golden eagle!

The only raptor of this size and flying posture is the golden eagle!!

Many people may have a misunderstanding that only falcons hunt by climbing to a higher altitude in exchange for diving speed.

In fact, the golden eagle can also do this. The golden eagle is large in size, has a long wingspan, and its adult weight can reach nearly 10 to 20 kilograms.

This big baby's speed in level flight is not outstanding, but its long wingspan allows it to save energy when climbing with the help of air currents.

In addition, the golden eagle has excellent eyesight. If it swoops down at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour for a surprise attack, even the black eagle will not be able to withstand it.

Fortunately, the gyrfalcon had excellent eyesight and discovered the golden eagle still high in the sky in advance when it was chasing the last fire fox.

Otherwise, it would be very uncomfortable if you were attacked by a golden eagle.

The camera then turns back to the big black eagle, which has predicted in advance and made a flying gesture of turning over and showing its claws, causing the golden eagle that was swooping down to attack to obviously hesitate.

The two eagles were no more than one meter apart and passed each other by.

Having successfully survived the sneak attack, the Black Hawk immediately adjusted its flying posture and climbed high upwards.

As it climbed, it made a cackle, and the little white spear not far away also made a cackle in response.

Seeing that the most difficult crisis had passed, Yue Feng finally relaxed.

Everyone thought the golden eagle was powerful, but Yue Feng knew that without its speed, the golden eagle could not gain any advantage against the hexagonal warrior gyrfalcon.

Now that its most threatening sneak attack has failed, the smartest thing to do is to immediately fold its wings and run away.

If it dares to show off and continue to pester it, once the big black eagle has the advantage in flying altitude, it is not impossible for it to be shot down like the little white spear.

The big Black Hawk was in Yue Feng's hands and had already shot down two other birds of prey in air combat.

One time, I shot down a falcon with a silver head and a flowery tail in Luming Valley.
One time was when I shot down the current little white spear at home.

These actual combat operations have given it rich air combat experience.

Conventional chasing and friction cannot actually determine the outcome; at best they can only consume some physical strength.

The final victory can only be determined by climbing to a higher altitude and then swooping down at high speed.

Looking at the golden eagle again, after its attack failed, it quickly adjusted its position to chase the big black eagle above its head.

But after chasing for a few seconds, he found that his climbing speed was too far behind that of the Black Hawk, and they were not even in the same league.

After symbolically chasing for a few seconds, the golden eagle turned around and chased the little white spear which was in a lower position.

The Little White Peregrine Falcon is also a gyrfalcon, and its level flight and climbing speed is no worse than that of the golden eagle.

The two eagles chased and entangled in the air for a few seconds at a height of fifty or sixty meters, and then the big black eagle above their heads swooped down again.

Whoosh! ! !
The extremely fast black eagle folded its wings tightly, and from the front it looked like a round torpedo as it smashed towards the golden eagle.

If this kick is powerful enough, even a golden eagle would be crippled!

At the critical moment, a loud eagle cry was heard again from the clouds above the meadow.

The big black eagle was dazed when he heard the cry, and his accuracy was obviously a little off.

The golden eagle took the opportunity to turn sideways to avoid the vital points, and was plucked by the black eagle's claws from the area above its tail that was wrapped around its waist, and a handful of hair and a tail feather were plucked out.

For a moment, dark golden eagle feathers scattered from the sky.

Yue Feng looked up into the sky following the loud cry.

The second golden eagle swooped down from the clouds at an extremely high speed, also making a sharp whistling sound.

This is an adult male golden eagle. The golden feathers on the back of its neck emit a faint golden glow under the sunlight.

The male golden eagle's wingspan and body size are slightly smaller than the previous one, and its dive speed and flying posture are also much lighter.

According to preliminary judgment, these two golden eagles, one male and one female, should be a pair.

It is very likely that the area near this pheasant meadow is their territory.

Now it's getting lively, a pair of golden eagles are fighting against two gyrfalcons from the Yuefeng Hunting Team.

"Brother, another golden eagle is coming! The golden eagle is so much bigger, our big black eagle won't be at a disadvantage, right? How about we give it a shot?"

Xiao Tao has good eyesight and asked with some concern.

Yue Feng: "It shouldn't happen! Let's see first, if it doesn't work I'll call the eagle down!
The golden eagle's flying speed is not as fast as the gyrfalcon! The big black eagle got the upper hand just now!"

Yue Feng's words did not contain any subjective emotions, but were rather very objective cognition.

The ensuing battle was indeed similar to what Yue Feng had predicted.

Being fast really allows one to do whatever one wants. After the male golden eagle swooped down to join the battlefield, four eagles engaged in a melee in the sky. The two larger golden eagles were suppressed almost the entire time.

After the female golden eagle had a handful of its fur grabbed, its subsequent desire to fight was significantly reduced.

After struggling for several rounds in the air, it yelled at my husband a few times, turned around and fled to the southwest.

The black eagle is quite aggressive. If it were in the wild, it would probably be a fight to the death today.

But in Yue Feng's hands, seeing that the battle was almost over, Yue Feng did not let the Black Hawk continue chasing, but blew the whistle.

The big black eagle heard the whistle of its master and decisively gave up chasing into the distance. It turned in the air and landed back on Yue Feng's arms.

quack quack quack

After the big black eagle landed, it proudly puffed out its chest and cackled loudly.

The meaning was very clear: Master, look how powerful I am. I beat away such a big golden eagle!
Soon the little white spear also fell down, and the two eagles stood side by side on Yue Feng's right arm, with fluffy feathers, and a state where they still had plenty of energy to spare.

"Alright, alright! You two are great. Just beat them away and forget about it! There's no need to chase them anymore!!"

Yue Feng touched the heads of the falcons one by one, and then touched the feathers on their backs, and the emotions of the two eagles gradually calmed down.

……

After the golden eagle couple's disruption, the fire fox finally escaped to who knows where.

Xiao Tao and Xiao Wu picked up the two foxes that were kicked to death by the eagle.

Xiaowen ran a long way and picked up the golden eagle's tail feather.

"Look, this is the hair on the tail of the big golden eagle just now, which was plucked off by the big black eagle!" Xiaowen said.

This eagle feather is a good thing. It is the tail feather of an adult female golden eagle. In ancient times, it was the top-quality material for making eagle feather arrows. It is very rare.

Yue Feng took the eagle feather and examined it for a few seconds: "Judging from the color and pattern of the tail feathers, this female golden eagle is about three years old.

The male golden eagle has golden feathers on its neck and the flowers on its chest are completely gray! It must be at least seven or eight years old!

This pheasant meadow should be within their territory!

If I’m not mistaken, these are the two golden eagles that Uncle Zhao mentioned before. They have a nest in Xuanyingjian!

Uncle Zhao said that this young female golden eagle was mated later, as the previous female golden eagle was killed by a tiger cub. "

Xiao Tao reached out for the eagle feather, looked at it for a few seconds, and pouted: "Who cares whether they were paired first or later!

Compared to our big black eagle, it is nothing! With such a big body, it was beaten and ran away in panic! "

Yue Feng grinned and said, "Haha, if the golden eagle is stronger than the gyrfalcon, then the name of the Saker Falcon would not fall on the gyrfalcon!

But this overall grid is indeed quite intimidating.

If it were in Inner Mongolia or southern Xinjiang, it might be of some use, but for us, golden eagles are useless if we just hide in the forest all day long!"

"Brother Feng, can you train this golden eagle?"

Xiao Tao listened obediently and immediately went to Yue Feng for confirmation.

Yue Feng nodded: "You can train, but it's unnecessary and not practical!

Whether it is training eagles, falcons, or eagles, the principles are actually the same. It’s just a matter of combining their respective habits and making certain adjustments.

Small eagles are held flat with their hands, medium-sized birds of prey are held with their arms, and if they are as big as a golden eagle, they have to use arm support poles!"

"What is an arm bar?"

“It’s just a Y-shaped bracket that supports the arm!
This adult golden eagle weighs nearly 20 kilograms. It is hard work to hold an eagle. No one can bear to hold an eagle with their arms hanging for a long time!"

"Apart from its large weight, is this golden eagle easy to train?"

"It's not easy to train. The heavier you are, the higher your physical reserve will be, and the longer your training cycle will be!
It takes half a month or even longer just to lose weight!

However, this golden eagle is also very smart. If it can be tamed and raised, it can recognize people and its home!

Why are you asking these questions?

What, you want to train a golden eagle? Now that you have trained a purple eagle to hunt, do you have a new goal in mind?"

Yue Feng looked at Xiao Tao with burning eyes. Based on his understanding of Xiao Tao, he knew that whenever this guy opened his mouth, he must have some ulterior motive.

Xiao Tao scratched his head and chuckled: "Hey, I won't bother with that! I'm just asking out of curiosity!"

"You'd better just ask casually. There is another risk in training a golden eagle that I haven't told you yet!"

"What's the risk?"

"The black eagle's claws have such long nails, doesn't it feel a bit exaggerated?

If it is an adult female golden eagle, the length of the big ring is close to ten centimeters, and it is three-edged with a blood groove, like a bone dagger.

If you squeeze it firmly, you can even crush a wolf's skull!"

While speaking, Yue Feng opened his right hand and grasped the air, which scared Xiao Tao so much that he reflexively shrugged his neck back.

"That's fine! If I grab a handful of this, who can bear it?"

Xiao Tao squatted down again and lowered his head to skin the fire fox. He no longer dared to study the golden eagle.

"Hey, put away those unrealistic fantasies.

What we are playing with now is the most high-end stuff. The falcons of the ancient emperors were one in a million, but they are not as good as our big black eagle!"

Yue Feng touched the big black eagle's breast again with great pride, and felt extremely happy.

The battle to blast the fox cave ended with the two golden eagles being driven away.

There were four foxes in this litter, but only one ran away. Yue Feng had no intention of continuing to chase it. If it ran away, it ran away. It was not something as expensive as a sable, so there was no need to worry about leaving it a glimmer of hope.

These two fire foxes, one male and one female, have very good quality fur.

After cleaning up, the brothers gave some of the fox meat to the dogs. After they had eaten their fill, they took a short rest as they still had work to do in the afternoon.

Yue Feng and his brothers, who were busy catching long-tailed pheasants, were completely unaware of this.

While chatting, he told his companions that even dogs with golden eagles were not trained, but not long after, he had no choice but to take on the difficult task of training a golden eagle.

Of course, this is a story for later. (End of this chapter)
