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

Forest Area No. 22, deep in the forest.

The wild boar king, with his massive body like a mountain of flesh, seemed quite relaxed as he lay in a large pigsty on a sunny slope.

This is a medium-sized pig herd that has been in Forest Area 22 for a long time. The largest pig in the herd was an old sow weighing about kilograms.

Following the old sows, there are several young pigs weighing more than 200 pounds, then two-year-old pigs weighing about 100 pounds, and young piglets weighing dozens of pounds.

There are eight pigs in the entire herd, which is considered a large herd compared to the surrounding areas.

Even if they encounter other groups of wild boars of the same level, conflicts generally will not break out. After all, they are strong in both manpower and horses, and they cannot gain much advantage by fighting for territory.

The oldest sow is the emperor of the pig herd, and all wild boars follow her lead.

However, after the arrival of the Wild Boar King, the pattern of the pig herd changed completely.

As soon as the wild boar king got into the group, he used his strong pig snout to knock the old sow to the ground several times, and the old sow dared not resist at all.

The whole process took less than a minute and the wild boar king became the new leader of the herd.

If a boar from other herds joins the group, it will not cause any serious consequences to the herd. After staying for a while and finishing the circle, the big boar will generally leave and will not harass or bully other members of the herd.

But the arrival of the wild boar king was different. After beating the old sow, he occupied the pigsty for the night. The other pigs could only sleep outside the pigsty around him.
As mentioned before, wild boars in Changbai Mountain will build nests in winter. Adult wild boars will collect many branches, leaves, grass and other nesting materials, pile them up in an area to form wild boar nests to isolate the cold air below, and keep warm in the nests at night.

Under normal circumstances, the big pigs in the group sleep on the outside, acting as the walls of the shelter. On the one hand, they protect the weaker members, and on the other hand, they use their body temperature to warm the piglets through the cold nights.

However, this wild boar king was extremely domineering. He ignored all the goodwill from the old sow and did not fulfill his obligations as the head pig. He occupied the most comfortable core area of ​​the pigsty and let other wild boars block the wind and keep him warm.

To put it realistically, this guy is a scumbag in the wild boar world.

As soon as it got light in the morning, the wild boar king felt the warmth of the sunlight and crawled out of his den early.

When the other wild boars saw their leader getting up, they all made room to the side. The wild boar king ignored the other wild boars and left his sleeping bunk to sniff around.

Because it is quite early, normally the pigs would still gather together and continue to sleep at this time. They would not get up until the sun rises at around eight or nine o'clock to water the pigs, and then follow the head pig to feed the pigs in the mountain fields of their territory.

The wild boar king was very clean and got up from the pigsty. He walked nearly a hundred meters before he urinated under a big tree stump.

After releasing the water, the wild boar king returned the same way. Many little pigs could not wait to lie down in the middle of the warm nest.

The old sow was grunting at the wild boar king, with white foam coming out of her mouth. It was obvious that she was in heat and was begging him to hurry up and get down to business.

Faced with the old sow's display of love, the wild boar king did not react at all. He pushed the old sow aside with his mouth, glanced at the other members of the herd, turned around and left the core area of ​​the pigpen, climbing up the nearest ridge.

The wild boar king is very smart. It has been being hunted down by hunters for several days in a row. It knows that its situation is not good.

The purpose of spending the night here with the pigs is not to reproduce, but to use the power of the pigs to make themselves more comfortable at night.

Now that it's daybreak, it's time for it to continue moving forward. If a team of hunters chases it here, these wild boars can help share some of the firepower pressure.

The wild boar king stood on a protruding ridge, listening attentively to the movements in the distant forests, but the wind had begun to blow, and the information he gathered through hearing was extremely limited, and he found no trace of the enemy.

Should he go back down the mountain to seek revenge by making a big detour? Or should he return to the mountains before the enemy catches up with him?

The wild boar king was also briefly entangled for a moment.

Brother Yue Feng and his guess were correct. The bullet that hit it was a bit unfortunate. It passed through the back edge of the buttocks and broke the two iconic sturdy testicles of the wild boar king.

Although the current wild boar king's size and combat power have hardly been damaged, without the support of the ovaries, its hormone levels are continuing to decline, and it no longer has the desire to continue to multiply and expand its herd like a normal boar in its breeding period.

This change in emotions made the Wild Boar King feel a little confused. He no longer wanted to think about the sow or occupy the territory. He felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know the answer.

The wild boar king had not smelled the scent left by the people who hurt it for several days while moving around at the foot of the mountain. As time went by, the hatred gradually faded.

After standing on the ridge and thinking for a short while, the wild boar king turned around and tumbled down the shady slope from the ridge, moving towards the direction of the deep mountains.

It wants to go back, back to its core territory.

I don’t know if the wild boar king had some special pheromones or something, but a few minutes after it went down the ridge, the old sow in the pigpen realized that the head pig was about to leave, and suddenly let out a few sharp cries to urge the members of the group to get up.

In less than ten minutes, eight wild boars of different sizes followed the direction in which the wild boar king left.

From a bird's-eye view, the pigs' goal is very clear. They are chasing the wild boar king in a straight line along his footprints. This has long deviated from the normal thinking logic of pigs' activities.

But it happened just like that, and the hunters who went up the mountain knew nothing about it.

Half an hour later, the four core brothers of Qiao Muzhou's hunting team entered Forest Area 22, leading the experienced dog Qinglang.

For fear that the Wild Boar King would hear the noise of the car engine from afar, we got off the car and walked a few kilometers in advance. It took us some time to get here.

When we arrived at Forest Area No. 22, the blue wolf became obviously extremely active.

When its owner told it not to bark, the blue wolf would smack its lips constantly, with its mouth opening and closing. One could only see the movements but could hardly hear any sound.

"Have you found your prey, Blue Wolf? Chase it!" Xiao Fei noticed the dog's reaction and immediately gave the order!

The four men, carrying guns, followed the blue wolf and headed straight for the pigsty where the wild boar spent the night.

If Qiao Muzhou and his companions had arrived an hour earlier, they might have been able to trap the Wild Boar King in the pigsty, but now they were too late. Not only did the Wild Boar King leave, but the group of wild boars also left the pigsty where they had spent the night.

After waiting for half an hour, several people followed the dog to the wild boar's den. They were a little confused when they saw the empty den.

It's just past eight o'clock now. Normally, the wild boars have not gotten out of their nests at this time. Each of them has a pool of overnight urine. As long as the hunter has enough firepower, it will be very easy to achieve results in a surprise attack.

"Third Master, something is wrong!"

Lao Ji carefully checked around the wild boar's den and came back with a frown.

"What's wrong, Lao Ji?"

"The snow around the pigsty has melted. The wild boar must have spent the night in the pigsty last night. But we came here quietly at this time, but we found nothing!" "Are there any traces of the wild boar king's footprints?"

Xiao Fei added: "I saw a few clear footprints here! There is also a puddle of urine under the tree stump, which should be left by the wild boar king.

Why doesn't this thing play by the rules? It wakes up so early!"

"Old Zou, what do you think?" Qiao Saner turned his head and looked at Master Zou.

Master Zou looked around, then frowned and said, "We relaxed a little for one day and didn't chase it so closely, but it got mixed up with the wild boars!
Judging from the size of the pigsty, there are quite a lot of pigs, at least seven or eight!

Now it has left early with the herd of pigs. Could it be that it has discovered us in advance?
But this doesn’t make sense. We’ve been so careful along the way, we definitely wouldn’t have been discovered in advance!
The snow and mud next to it has frozen again. Judging from the situation in the pig sty, it will take more than an hour to get out of the sty and prepare the base.”

Qiao Saner nodded: "If it's not our fault, then it's due to the Wild Boar King's own habits!
It might have been frightened and knew we were going to deal with it, so it didn't plan to play at the foot of the mountain anymore.

Judging from the traces, it has been moving deep into the forest!"

Master Zou continued, "I think so too! We have to keep chasing!
If the pigs move slowly, we still have a chance to catch up!

They have families with them, so when they are hungry they will definitely find a place to eat!"

"Let's go, hurry up and chase it! If it runs into the mountains and loses its track, it will be hard to find it if we want to hunt it again!"

The four people reached a consensus and immediately followed the footprints to chase after them.

……

On the other side, after the wild boar king found that the group of wild boar friends had caught up with him, he did not slow down, but continued to move forward along the relatively easy ridge as if tirelessly.

This walk took several hours.

The wild boar king was quite familiar with the surrounding environment and terrain. He took the "burden" behind him and walked through the No. 22 forest area and came to the No. 35 forest area of ​​another column.

This place is quite close to Chaiji Road, and there are already lumberjacks and farmers in the forest going up the mountain to start working.

The wild boar king, who was very aggressive two days ago, seemed to have suddenly changed his nature. He clearly heard the braying of the livestock, but instead of actively approaching and waiting for an opportunity to attack, he consciously avoided the route and took a detour.

After crossing another ridge, another group of six wild boars unexpectedly met the Wild Boar King.

The pigs here seemed to be aware of the existence of the Wild Boar King. The original leader pig only symbolically resisted for a few minutes and was knocked to the ground by the Wild Boar King before quickly surrendering. They naturally merged into a new large group.

At this point, the wild boar king, who originally lived alone, now has 14 wild boar minions of all sizes under his command.

If the team continues to develop at this speed, the Wild Boar King will be able to roam around his territory for a few more days to recruit all the scattered pig groups, and the grand scene of hundreds of wild boars gathering together again will be just around the corner.

But it didn't stand a chance.

At 10:30 in the morning, the wild boar king and his new herd members had just crossed a ridge when they were spotted by a hunter who had gone into the mountains to trap.

From the perspective of hunters' business scope, trapping and catching ordinary prey is the most common and lowest-level work in hunting. Anyone who knows a little bit can go into the mountains to set traps and try their luck, and the threshold is relatively low.

The hunter who witnessed the wild boar king leading a large group of wild boars only had an old-fashioned bird gun in his hand and had no way to deal with the large group of wild boars.

This wild boar king is not joking when he leads his tribe to patrol the mountains. If they are discovered, humans cannot outrun the mad wild boars.

The hunter who had set the trap didn't even care about the remaining traps, turned around and went down the mountain along Chaiji Road.

Speaking of which, Qiao Muzhou's team was lucky. While they were following the trail, they met a hunter coming down the mountain.

"Ma Laosi? What are you doing up the mountain? Sneaking a trap?" Qiao Muzhou recognized the familiar hunter who was coming down the mountain.

"Mr. Qiao San! Are you guys going into the mountains to hunt?
Believe me, don't go up. I just saw the Wild Boar King patrolling the mountain in Forest Area 35. There was a group of thirty or forty wild boars.

The leading cannon egg is like a small tank and looks like it weighs at least 1,500 kilograms!"

Ma Laosi likes to brag. He more than doubled the size of the Wild Boar King's pig herd.

However, when Qiao Saner heard this, he was not disgusted at all. Instead, he felt a little excited.

"Where did you see the wild boar king? In forest area 35?"

Ma Laosi: "Yes! There is a group of traps over there. I just climbed over the ridge and before I could go down the shady slope to the bottom of the ditch, I saw a huge group of them!
The bird gun in my hand couldn't do anything to the wild boar, so I hurried down the mountain!"

Qiao Saner took out a freshly opened box of Ginseng brand cigarettes and stuffed it directly into Ma Laosi's hand: "Your intelligence is very timely, it saves us a lot of trouble!
So, let me make a deal. Can you lend me your skis? We are in the car down there, and it’s hard for us to catch up on foot! I will send them back to your home when you are done using them!"

"No problem at all, I'll take it off right away! Are you going for that wild boar king?" Ma Laosi took the cigarette happily, then bent down to take off his skis.

"Yes, this wild boar king came down the mountain and injured many people in the Dead Man's Valley. We gathered people to surround it a few days ago but failed to capture it, so we are chasing it today! If we can defeat the wild boar king later, you will be counted as one of them!"

"Haha, that's a great feeling!!"

……

After a brief greeting, Ma Laosi took off his skis, and Qiao Muzhou asked Xiaofei to tie on his skis and take a shortcut down the mountain to drive!
As mentioned before, Chaiji Road is similar to the winding shape of a mountain road. With skis, you can save a lot of time on the road.

After a brief greeting, Ma Laosi walked down the mountain happily with a cigarette in his mouth. Qiao Muzhou and his companions stayed on the spot to rest, waiting for their companions to drive up.

While Qiao Muzhou and his companions were waiting for Xiaofei to go down and drive the car, the members of the Yuefeng Hunting Team also followed Canglong and chased to Forest Area No. 22.

There were dense saplings in the forest here, so Yue Feng and his companions were particularly cautious. The eight dogs were let go of their leashes and given orders to follow the people as guards.

Under Canglong's leadership, everyone rushed to the pigsty where the wild boars were spending the night.

After surveying the footprints and traces, Yue Feng rubbed his face a little annoyed.

The intelligence is wrong. How come the wild boar king, who used to hunt alone, has joined a group? Now it is at least twice as difficult to hunt it. (End of this chapter)
