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

"Something's wrong! This big wild boar king has mixed into another group of pigs! Look, there are big footprints next to the pig sty, there's no mistake!!" Yue Feng said with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

"Looking at the traces, there are quite a few pigs here. What should we do? Continue following the trail? Judging from the details of the traces on the ground, they should have just left this morning!" Xiaowen echoed.

Yue Feng did not rush to answer, but frowned slightly and thought for a moment.

After a moment, Yue Feng said, "Let's follow the traces for a day, but it's too late to make a quick decision!"

"What's going on? Is there any explanation?" Ye Xiaojun asked curiously.

Yue Feng answered truthfully: "This wild boar king was seen several times last year, leading a group of wild boars. It is said that there are hundreds of wild boars or even more!

I asked my master and several other veteran hunters, and no one knew why it gathered so many wild boars.

Later, a few of us went into the mountains specifically to try our luck at finding it, but the wild boars had dispersed and the big wild boar king was nowhere to be found!
Judging from the footprints left on the ground, this group of pigs followed the Wild Boar Dynasty in the same direction. This time it is not Dugong anymore!"

After hearing this, Jin Long patted the hunting rifle in his hand and said, "If it's not Dugong, then it's not Dugong. We have guns in our hands, and the firepower is sufficient. Why should we be afraid of a lot of wild boars? We can knock them all down and carry them home!"

Yue Feng waved his hands: "You can't say that!
As the herd grows larger, the alert range will expand. Maybe before we get close to the wild boar king, the wild boars on the outermost edge have already discovered us!

Unless we are in a mountainous terrain with a very good view, we will have no chance to shoot at all!

Not only that, when the pig herd grows larger, the dogs can no longer play a restraining role.

Dozens or even hundreds of wild boars are charging at the same time. Not to mention our hunting dogs, even the tiger's big claws have to temporarily avoid their sharp edge!"

After hearing what Yue Feng said, Jin Long and Ye Xiaojun looked at each other, and there was a hint of confusion in both of their eyes.

Although they have hunted before, their understanding of this special phenomenon is too shallow. In many cases, it is not enough to have strong firepower, but they also have to consider their own absolute safety.

A true hunter will not risk his own safety on luck. This is fundamentally different from an army fighting a war.

Jin Long continued to ask: "What should we do next? Continue chasing? Or give up?
Now that you are here, why not give it a try! "

Yue Feng nodded: "Let's follow the traces for a while to verify whether our judgment is correct.

If the judgment is correct, I roughly know where it should go next! "

"you know??"

“Yes, it’s not 100% accurate, but you can take a guess!
Let me follow the traces for a while. Once I confirm my guess, I will explain it to you!"

"Then let's go!!"

……

After a brief communication, everyone followed the lead dog and continued to move forward.

Following the footprints, Yue Feng crossed mountains and hills and walked for more than an hour before stopping again.

"It completely overlaps with the direction I predicted. We can't continue chasing it on foot!" Yue Feng said without any context.

"Hmm? What's going on? It's so confusing and we can't understand it!" Jin Long asked again.

Yue Feng glanced at the others. Xiao Tao, Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu also looked confused, but they completely trusted Yue Feng and did not ask any questions.

"Since the wild boars left their overnight resting place so early in the morning, we can preliminarily judge that this is not normal behavior of the wild boars releasing their prey.

I guess it is likely that the wild boar king is leaving, and the other piglets in the herd followed him spontaneously!

If you leave the direction of Forest Area No. 22, cross a few ridges and walk a little further, you will reach the vicinity of Forest Area No. 35!
The markings for the mountain area here are based on the terrain of the column. There is a big ditch between No. 20 and No. 30, and the forest farm likes to call it Dadonggou! "

"Well? And then?"

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet! Last year, Uncle Zhao told me about some of the routes of the Wild Boar King's activities.

Among the older generation of hunters, there is a saying that the Wild Boar King is patrolling the mountains!
This is the area it patrols the mountains!

We have been following and verifying it for so long, and this rule should not have changed!

It’s nothing more than the number of ordinary wild boars following it after patrolling the mountain for a long circle!

There has been less rain in the mountains this year, and the number of wild boars is much smaller than in previous years. They probably can’t gather in groups as large as last year!”

"Oh, I understand. What should we do next? Don't chase them right behind? Or should we go around to the front and wait for them to fall into our trap?" Ye Xiaojun nodded and asked.

Yue Feng said: "Yes! If the wild boars follow a normal rhythm and go to the mountain field to feed after getting up, we can catch up with them by following them!

But if they follow the wild boar king to patrol the mountains, they don't have much time to feed and are always on the go. Humans cannot catch up with these four-legged guys with just two legs!

We have to go back, speed up our journey by car or motorcycle, and then choose a suitable place to wait for the pigs!!”

"What are you waiting for? Go back and get the car!
Hehe, you are worthy of being the Wild Boar King. It is getting more and more interesting. If we can ambush clearly, can we catch a lot of wild boars at once? "

"It's possible! Xiao Tao, Xiao Wen, you two take Ye Shao back to drive the car, we will wait at the side of Chaiji Road!

During this period of time, I just want to think about the most likely position! "

"Okay, you guys stay here first, we'll come up as soon as possible!"

The three of them temporarily left the team to drive the car. Yue Feng took out the leg splint from his calf and started writing and drawing in the snow.

Last year, through the actual hunting of the tiger with Uncle Zhao and Uncle Chen as his military advisors, Yue Feng learned the way of thinking of the older generation of hunters.

Now he has mastered this technique to a certain extent.

He used the tip of his leg knife to draw a rough map of relative positions and distances on the snow crust, then connected the trajectory map of the wild boar king's activity area and integrated it with the terrain around the forest farm in his mind.

What are the mountains and hills around? What are their general conditions?

Wherever there were "resource points" in previous years, there might be small groups of wild boars scattered around.

Which is the area name that Uncle Zhao mentioned when the Wild Boar King patrolled the mountains last year.

According to the normal movement speed in the Wild Boar Forest, how long would it take to get from this area to the next stop, the next stop, and so on...

In Yue Feng's head, high-speed analysis of thoughts started, and various objective conditions were summarized together, just like the human brain version of big data analysis.

After a brainstorming session, Yue Feng used his calf stick to draw a big triangle mark at a punctuation point.

"The chances of success through sniping are the greatest here. We still have half a day to a day to prepare!" Yue Feng said in a very affirmative tone.

"This is where?"

Jin Long couldn't understand the various marks made on the snow at all. His curiosity was like a kitten scratching the soles of its feet, and his heart was itching.

Yue Feng replied: "This is a mountain field near Forest Area 43, not far from Tiger Leaping Cliff!
Below is the upper reaches of Datonggou, with its exceptionally wide and deep bottom of a mountain pond.

If the previous speculations are accurate, then there is a high probability that the Wild Boar King will pass by here!

We set up an ambush position on the sunny side of the slope, and we will be able to see the area below after crossing the ridge.

I left about half a day of extra maneuvering time!

If everything goes well, the Wild Boar King will arrive here this evening or tomorrow!"

"So we're going to spend the night on the mountain?"

Xiaowu knew the terrain, so he understood.

“Yes, be prepared to spend the night in the mountains!

However, it also depends on the progress of the Wild Boar King's patrol and his efficiency. If he eats on the way or rests at night, the arrival time will be delayed.

To be on the safe side, we have to spend the night on the mountain! Then, with the vehicle's speed advantage, we can inspect the other points in the middle to confirm whether the real-time information has deviated! ! "

"I see. Then we don't have to rush to chase the pigs away. Let's go down the mountain and bring the tents and other supplies up."

"Yes! Let's set up the largest tent. At least it will be more comfortable for people and dogs.

This kind of opportunity is not easy to come by. People will suffer a little, but the margin of error is increased a lot! When the wild boars really come according to the plan, we can catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"It's okay to endure a little suffering, as long as you get the job done! You are the captain, we will do whatever you say!" Jin Long roughly understood what it meant after listening.

Probably less than an hour later, the hunting team's motorcycles and cars arrived at the side of Chaiji Road.

Yue Feng explained the situation to a few people, and the six-man team was temporarily split into two groups.

Xiaowen and Xiaotao went back home and brought up the largest spare tent and supplies for spending the night on the mountain from the new house.

Yue Feng took Ye Xiaojun, Jin Long and Xiaowu and drove to Forest Area No. 43 in advance to determine a place to set up tents for the night.

Before they knew it, the whole morning had passed and no one had even seen the shadow of their prey. However, after Yue Feng's careful analysis, no one felt frustrated at all, but rather quite expectant.

With a motorcycle as a vehicle, the efficiency of going up and down the mountain is greatly improved.

At about 1:00 p.m., Yue Feng and his companions met up with their companions who were going down the mountain to pull up the tent. They found a relatively flat area with a wide view next to a firewood road and temporarily set up their tent. Some people may be confused when they see this. Obviously, there is a firewood road for vehicles to pass through. Logically speaking, it is much more efficient to go up and down the mountain. Why do they have to spend the night on the mountain? Don't the wild boars rest at night?
After determining the route and location, can't you just sit in the car and observe, go home and sleep when it gets dark, and then rush back early the next day?
Theoretically, this can be done, but Yue Feng is not sure about the details of the wild boars' activity schedule.

When spending the night in the mountains, the purpose of the tent is not to provide a place for people to sleep, but to make people a little more comfortable. You certainly won’t sleep at critical moments, and you have to be on standby and keep watch even at night.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the members of the Yuefeng Hunting Team had a hot lunch and briefly entered a dormant waiting phase.

Whether the judgment of the young hunter Yue Feng is accurate or not will be verified within a day or two at most.

……

While Yue Feng was organizing people to prepare in advance through the "big data analysis method" and trying to sit back and wait, on the other side, Qiao Muzhou's hunting team drove a Jiefang truck straight to forest area No. 35.

Ma Laosi's information helped them avoid some detours and save a lot of time, but the result of several people rushing to Forest Area 35 and continuing to track and chase the Wild Boar King with Blue Wolf was not optimistic.

People were chasing after them with dogs, but the wild boars did not rest or feed and just kept on moving forward.

How can an ordinary person tracking with a dog possibly catch up with the strength of a wild boar? This is a simple matter of common sense.

The result was that Qiao Muzhou and his companions found the trail of the wild boars and followed them for several hours, but they still showed no intention of stopping to rest and eat.

The blue wolf led by Old Ji showed no signs of exhaustion, but Qiao Muzhou and the other masters were all a little overwhelmed.

"We can't chase him anymore. I can't take it anymore, Third Master!" Master Zou's stomach growled with hunger, and his legs began to tremble.

Qiao Muzhou's physique is slightly stronger than Lao Zou's, but only to a limited extent. He hadn't eaten lunch and had been holding on for a long time.

Seeing Master Zou stop by holding the tree trunk, Qiao Muzhou also stopped.

Qiao Saner took out a cigarette with trembling hands, lit it and took a puff, then said with pale lips: "I can't bear it anymore, let's take a breath.

What are these piglets planning to do? They chased after us with their cars and dogs, and we chased them for five or six ridges but still haven’t seen the real boss! "

"Mr. San, give me a cigarette too! I left my cigarette in the car and forgot to take it down!" Wang Yufei was not polite at all and stretched out his hand to Qiao Saner.

Qiao Muzhou directly handed the cigarette box to Wang Yufei: "You can smoke it, I have another box!
Lao Ji, what do you think?
These pigs, are they scared? Why are they running non-stop? "

Among the four people, Lao Ji and Wang Yufei have the best physical fitness.

Originally there was another strong man who was also considered to be physically strong, but ever since he was shot by Zhou Yuanchao last time, he couldn't go up the mountain even after he recovered from the wound.

Apart from visiting each other during the holidays, he has basically faded out of Qiao Muzhou's team.

Old Ji rummaged in his bag and pulled out a few pieces of slightly yellowish rock sugar. He put one piece in his mouth and chewed it into pieces, then spread out his palm and gave a few pieces to his companions.

After swallowing a mouthful of sugar water, he frowned and said, "It shouldn't be because they scared the group that they are rushing on the road. I guess there are other reasons that we don't know.

I don’t know if you have noticed that in the section we are chasing now, in addition to the footprints of the big wild boar king, the number of footprints of other ordinary wild boars has also increased!

Could it be…”

Having said this, Old Ji did not continue speaking. He turned his head naturally to look at Master Zou.

Master Zou understood what he meant and continued, "Third Master, do you remember what they said last year about the wild boar king gathering a large group of wild boars in the Dumb Valley of Woniu Mountain?

Judging from the time, this time now is not that far away from last year!"

Old Ji also said leisurely: "The wild boars in the mountains are in heat and circling from October to the end of December!"

Many times, we cannot connect the details together, and it may be impossible to discover the truth of the matter, but what makes us human is our unique wisdom.

After a few people discussed it and connected the legendary information with the actual information, many groundless speculations were reconciled.

Qiao Muzhou slapped his head and said, "Fuck! What you said seems to make sense!

The wild boar king has been cracking leaves from the beginning of spring to the beginning of autumn this year, and almost no one has mentioned seeing it!
Is this a time-stamped patrol of the territory?"

"Very likely! With its physique, it must be a very gifted pig. Wherever it goes, it must be the leader of the herd, and its territory must be very large!
The territory is so large, it might take a long time to go around it!" Master Zou continued to infer.

"No wonder, the logic behind its pig herd growing larger and larger also makes sense!" Wang Yufei couldn't help but interrupt.

Qiao Saner spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and cursed in a low voice: "Fuck, if this is really the case, then we can't just keep chasing after them with our two legs!
God knows how long the wild boars will run in the forest before they rest and eat! We are just a few people relying on our fleshy feet, and we will never be able to catch up with their four legs even if we die of exhaustion!"

Lao Ji continued, "If you chase, there is hope. If you don't chase, there is definitely no hope at all!

There are not only big wild boars in their herd, but also the young spotted boars from the past. They have to stop to rest and eat after a long time! I think we can't give up!"

Wang Yufei also nodded: "I think Brother Ji is right!
Otherwise, Third Master, you and Master Zou can take a break, and Brother Ji and I will chase them for a while! Take a break, you can still hold on for the time being!"

After Wang Yufei said this, Qiao Saner was really moved.

I'm getting old and I can't help but admit it. I've come all this way and I really can't take it anymore.

"That's fine. Otherwise, let's meet up somewhere. Lao Zou and I will go back and drive, and you and Lao Ji will continue chasing!"

Lao Ji nodded and said, "Okay, if we follow this direction, we will most likely go to Forest Area 39. If we don't stop before dark, we will probably reach Forest Area 41.

Uncle San, please turn back and drive your car, then wait for us near the main intersection of Chaiji Road in Forest Area No. 41!
If there is still no progress, we will go down the mountain at dark!"

"Okay! Just do it like this, my body can't take it anymore at my age!

You two can bear with the hard work. Old Zou and I will drive the car! Oh, by the way, you guys take the cigarettes. I have this in my pocket, you guys take it too!"

While speaking, Qiao Saner took out a silver flat wine flask from his pocket, opened the lid and took a sip, then handed the rest to Wang Yufei next to him.

"Damn, you brought some wine with you. Why didn't you take it out earlier? Let me have a sip first!"

Wang Yufei took the wine jug and took a sip. As the strong liquor went down his throat, a line of fire ran from his throat to his heart, and the chillness accumulated from the journey was dispelled a lot.

When Master Zou saw Qiao Muzhou take out the wine, he also took out the dried venison he had brought into the mountains.

"I still have some bacon on me, I'll give it to you too! Remember the agreed location, don't chase after him! It's cold in the mountains after dark, it's hard to bear!"

"Hey, Brother Ji, here are some wine and dried meat. If we eat them sparingly, it will definitely last us until dark!" Wang Yufei took the small bag of dried meat and felt even happier.

The team quickly decided on the follow-up plan. Two people continued to chase with the dog, and two walked back to drive.

……

At 43: in the afternoon, six members of the Yuefeng Hunting Team had found a flat location sheltered from the wind near Forest Area and set up their tent.

It must be said that this military gadget is very convenient to use. Once the tent is tidied up and a small stove is built inside, there is no problem for people to spend the night in the tent.

Yue Feng and his brothers prepared a place to spend the night and cleaned up the stove. Only now was they able to have their first proper meal since entering the mountains.

After eating and drinking to their heart's content and resting a little after most of the day's fatigue, Yue Feng said goodbye to Xiao Tao, and the two brothers rode out on their motorcycles, carrying their guns, leaving the others to rest in the tent for a while.

Yue Feng’s idea is very simple. Although the previous inference seems reasonable, there are still many variables as to the actual situation.

If you want to determine the actual situation, you have to drive to several key map nodes.

At the very least, you should go to the map node closest to the foot of the mountain to have a look. If you guess wrong there, you will definitely go astray later.

At this time, the motorcycle's strong maneuverability and flexibility were demonstrated. Yue Feng rode the motorcycle with Xiao Tao, Canglong and two falcons, and headed towards the node closest to the foot of the mountain.

When they reached the first suspicious area at the bottom, the two brothers locked their motorcycles, parked them on the side of the road, and went down the ditch with the dog.

Canglong had a very sharp nose. He found the boar after walking down the ditch for less than a mile. He looked up and followed the smell in the air for several hundred meters. Soon Yue Feng discovered a large number of wild boar footprints left by a wild boar passing by halfway on the sunny slope.

"Brother, look! The footprints left by the Wild Boar King and the pigs! You guessed it right! They definitely went this way!" Xiao Tao said in a low voice, suppressing his excitement.

Seeing these extremely fresh footprints, Yue Feng's heart was finally at ease.

The wild boar king and his herd of pigs passed through here, and all of Yue Feng's previous inferences and analyses were verified. The subsequent arrangements made based on these analyses were feasible.

Yue Feng nodded: "It's stable! The movement route of the wild boar king and these wild boars is most likely based on our previous analysis!"

"What should we do next? Continue to the next place? Or?"

Yue Feng shook his head: "If the pigs pass through here, they will definitely go to the next place. There are deep ditches and ridges along the way here. It makes no sense for the pigs to not go through the ditches but deliberately go over the mountains and dig through the thorns.

The wild boar king has very sharp ears. If we ride too close to it on a motorcycle even if there is a strong wind, it will still be able to hear us in advance!

We are unsure of the speed at which the wild boar king and his herd of pigs will move, so it is safer to wait for the pigs! Go back, take a break, guard the camp, and wait for the pigs to pass by!"

"Okay, listen to you!"

……

In less than an hour, Yue Feng and Xiao Tao returned to the camp on a motorcycle tricycle and immediately told other personnel the information they had discovered and verified.

Now, the brothers were more confident. They called the eagle down to feed it, then put on their hats. They also gathered the eight dogs into the tent and gave the command in advance to keep quiet.

All preparations have been made, and we are just waiting for the wild boars to pass under the deep ditch and pond on the shady side of the slope. (End of this chapter)
