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

Facing his second uncle’s praise, Yue Feng grinned and said, “Hey, I said the dogs were okay!
It's no problem to take care of this big guy. These dogs have a lot of practical experience and are very smart!"

The second uncle held the gun in his hand and asked, "Kill directly? Who will do it?"

“Died in the mountain? Isn’t that a pity? We didn’t bring anything to store deer blood or anything like that!” Yue Feng looked regretful.

"With such a big beast, we have no other choice but to kill it and dismember it and drag it down the mountain on a sled. Do you have any other good ideas?" asked my second uncle, putting down his gun.

Yue Feng frowned and thought for a while: "Otherwise, try my trick.

Let's see if we can bring this big guy down the mountain alive?"

"Hmm? Lead it down the mountain? We brought a lot of ropes, but the problem is that this big guy doesn't listen to anyone. It's easy to kill him, but how can we lead him down alive?"

Yue Feng grinned and said, "Let's try it. Last time we led a team to hunt in the mountains, we encountered a sika deer and we tied it up and led it back!

Xiao Tao, Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu, come over here and lend a hand. Let's work together to knock the deer down. I'll blindfold it!"

"Okay, Brother Feng, you decide how to arrange it! We will all listen to you!" Xiao Tao responded.

"Let's do this. First, each of us will have a rope and a noose. I'll be responsible for tying the neck, and the others will each have a leg. Be careful not to get stepped on or kicked. This big guy is no small thing!"

"Don't worry, I have no strength left, how much ability can I have!

We were all young guys, not afraid of anything. As soon as the captain Yue Feng gave the order, we all took out the ropes, tied the noose and started to prepare ourselves.

The seven dogs that entered the mountain thought that their owner would shoot the prey to end the fight, but they didn't expect to see Yue Feng approaching them with his bare hands holding a rope.

Several dogs immediately wagged their tails.

Yue Feng praised, "Good dog!" while staring at the big guy.

When the big guy saw the terrifying upright ape approaching, he immediately screamed and tried to get up and continue running away.

However, he was so exhausted that he only struggled to stand up for about three seconds before squatting down again weakly.

Yue Feng saw the opportunity, took the noose in his hand and put it in front of the prey, then said to Xiao Tao: "Xiao Tao, you feint! Attract attention!"

Xiao Tao nodded: "Okay! Come on, big guy, look here, buddy wants to play with you!"

While making sounds, Xiao Tao moved closer to the side of his prey with great movements.

Xiao Tao moved closer, and the big guy focused his attention on him, continuing to struggle to move.

Yue Feng seized the opportunity and decisively threw the noose in his hand up.

Hit the target with one strike!
Yue Feng immediately pulled the rope down and tightened the noose.

Suddenly a rope was tied to him. The big guy struggled to get up and was about to shake his head. At this time, Xiao Tao next to him immediately threw the noose in his hand over to him.

One of his hind hooves was caught in the hook, and Xiao Tao exerted force decisively to tighten the buckle.

Tied with two ropes, one in front and one behind, the big man felt extremely dangerous. He kept shaking his neck and pulling back his hind legs, but his strength was not very strong.

After exerting force several times, his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

The brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu, who were standing on both sides, seized the opportunity and tied ropes to their front legs.

The brothers were all in place. Yue Feng shouted, and they all worked together to push to one side, knocking the big guy, who was at the end of his strength, to the ground.

The next second, seven dogs rushed forward like crazy, each of them aimed at the right position and bit the moose, burying it under their bodies.

"Bite them all, no biting, no grabbing crotches, what are you doing, Tan Lang, open your mouths!" Yue Feng saw the dogs rushing over and hurriedly gave orders to them.

If we let these wolf cubs run wild, they will rip open the big animal's stomach in no time. By then, there will be no way we can bring the deer back alive.

When the dogs heard their master's command, they immediately calmed down a lot. They lay around their prey, tearing and controlling it to prevent it from getting up. This saved Yue Feng and his companions a lot of energy.

Yue Feng handed the rope in his hand to his second uncle, and then took out a pair of spare leggings from the hunting bag.

Yue Feng folded his leggings several times, and then carefully came to the head of the moose.

The big guy already knew that he couldn't hide today, tears flowed from his eyes and his face was sad.

Yue Feng skillfully covered the deer's eyes with the bandage, then wrapped it around and tied a knot behind its head.

"Alright, the eyes are covered, everyone, let go! All the dogs, let go too, get to the side!"

At a greeting, all the dogs let go and came to the side to wait patiently. After everyone loosened the ropes, the big guy barely raised his head.

"Is that all?" asked my second uncle.

Yue Feng shook his head: "It's still a long way to go! Let it rest for a while, and when it has recovered some strength, give it some salt water to drink! Xiao Tao, gather some firewood and make a fire, the water in the kettle is frozen!"

Seeing that the deer's eyes were covered, everyone immediately relaxed a lot.

Gather branches to make a fire, then place the kettle next to it to thaw.

On the other side, Yue Feng looked at the surrounding trees, came to a birch tree, took a razor knife and cut it up and down, and soon peeled off a large piece of birch bark.

Folding the birch bark at both ends, it can become a simple water container. Wait for the water to melt and sprinkle a handful of salt on it. Yue Feng held the salt water and carefully came to the blindfolded big man.

Having completely lost its eyesight, the big guy became noticeably calmer. Yue Feng touched its forehead and it stopped struggling frantically.

After the initial adaptation, Yue Feng used his hand to scoop up some water to moisten the big guy's lips.

This guy had already exhausted his energy at this point, with white foam on both sides of his mouth.

After tasting the salt water, he quickly fumbled for it and started drinking it.

Large animals have a huge demand for salt, but the ways to obtain it in the wild are extremely limited. Especially after running away and sweating in excessive amounts of activity, their bodies are extremely lacking in salt and electrolytes.

After adding salt to the water poured out of the kettle, the big guy gulped down the water in the birch bark basin like a cow.

After drinking the water, the big man's condition was obviously relieved. Yue Feng pulled the rope tied around his neck and tried to guide him. The other party seemed to consciously want to stand up, but still couldn't.

"This is because I was bitten and chased by the dogs. I am exhausted! After drinking salt water, I should be able to stand up in a while!" Yue Feng said softly.

"Hey, this is quite interesting. If you blindfold it, it won't be afraid anymore?" My second uncle had been watching curiously from the side and was very interested in Yue Feng's method.

Yue Feng: "Of course I'm still afraid, but since I can't see, I don't have the intention to run away!

As long as you are a little more obedient and don't give negative feedback, you should be able to gradually listen to others!
A doe this big must weigh at least eight or nine hundred kilograms!
If we cut it up a little at a time and drag it back, we'll have to work for most of the day! If we can bring it back, none of the deer blood will be wasted!"

As he spoke, Yue Feng reached out and gently touched the big man's head. The man's ears moved slightly, but he did not struggle.

The guys roasted the fire and rested patiently for an hour or so. After drinking the water, the moose slowly struggled to stand up from the ground again.

Yue Feng gave it a second basin of water and let it drink while pulling the rope to guide it to move.

The moose was very hungry for salt water, and when it sensed the guide moving, it slowly followed.

Seeing this scene, Yue Feng felt relaxed.

Whether it is a moose or a sika deer, although there is a huge difference in size, their temperaments seem to be not much different.

After some methodical guidance and feeding it salt water with its eyes blindfolded, it seems that it is no longer as resistant as it was at the beginning.

In the next hour or so, Yue Feng repeated the operation of feeding water, pulling and guiding the movement, and the doe actually followed the rope and walked in the woods.

Seeing this scene, the second uncle was completely shocked: "Great, nephew, you are not only good at training eagles, but you can also train such a big moose! It seems that it won't be a big problem if we pull the rope back! "

"Don't push too hard, and don't make too much noise! ​​It's not used to it yet, just go a little slower, it shouldn't be a problem!"

"Wait a minute, shall we lead the deer back? We can't catch the sable today. It will take us most of the day to get the deer back home and prepare for it!" the second uncle continued to ask.

Yue Feng nodded: "It won't take a day or two, so let's go back and take the three roe deer back with us. This trip up the mountain today won't make us go back empty-handed!"

"Whatever you say, I'll do it! My nephew is really capable! He'll lead the deer back to the village and let other villagers see it. That's real capability!"

"hey-hey!"

While the father and son were laughing and muttering, Xiaowen, who had been silent, came over and asked, "Brother Feng, do you think this adult doe will have a cub?
In which month do the big guys circle? In which month do they give birth to calves?"

Xiaowen's question really stumped Yue Feng.

The sika deer that were captured alive from the mountains last winter did give birth to calves in April and May this year, but this was the first time that Yue Feng had caught a moose alive, and he didn't know much about it.

"I'm not sure either. Second uncle, do you know?" Yue Feng looked at his second uncle for help.

My second uncle said, “If I remember correctly, the old hunter in the village said that this big guy will circle around in September and October, and give birth to lambs in June or July of the following year!
Oh, if that's the case, this doe might actually be carrying a calf in her belly!"

Yue Feng could not help but say: "Fortunately, I didn't shoot it directly! Take it back alive and ask the old hunter in the village to check it out. If there is a lamb in its belly, we can keep this big moose!
This thing is not picky about what it eats. The straw can be used as roughage by simple processing, and mixed with some cornmeal and soybean meal, it can gain weight!
Raise it for a few months, and if it gives birth to lambs in the spring, you can start to breed it from the lamb generation, and then you can raise it as a domestic animal!"

"Raising him with his eyes blindfolded?"

"Yes! With its eyes covered, this wild animal will definitely struggle and go crazy when it sees something. It will be the same if it gets used to it!
There is a blind deer in the farm on the mountain near my home. After a long time, if you knock on the trough, it will know how to eat! I know how to eat by itself. My master taught me!"

The second uncle was very excited after hearing this: "That's great, I was just worried that your eldest uncle's family got too little prey and money, so I'll give this big guy to him to raise.

If there is a chance, I can catch a few other wild animals and build a breeding farm here like you! What do you think? "

"I think it's okay! Deer, roe deer, musk deer, you can give it a try!

I'll help you find someone to ask if we can lease a few dozen acres of mountain land! If you're willing to do it, we can build a breeding farm!"

Yue Feng was very excited at the moment. Although it was feasible for his relatives at his grandmother's side to improve their quality of life by hunting, it was still too slow.

The hunting team happened to be at home now, with all the living dogs and falcons, so it was not difficult to capture some wild animals alive as a source of breeding.

Just like your own farm on the mountain, special breeding is planned in advance, and after a few years, it has reached a large scale. Even if the national policy begins to ban hunting, there is no need to worry about being beaten back to the original state! This thing can be done!

Yue Feng became more and more excited as he talked to his second uncle, and before they knew it, more than an hour had passed.

The moose recovered some of its strength and drank a lot of salt water. Then it was led away again and was obviously much more obedient than before.

Thinking about getting down the mountain early, everyone didn't eat on the mountain. They took the dog and the eagle, and then led the moose behind them, and walked slowly down the mountain.

Along the way, because the moose had an unstable temperament and kept stopping and starting, the speed of going down the mountain was a bit slow, but everyone knew that this mother deer might be able to bring her calf back alive, which would be a great achievement.

Just go slowly, be patient and go back first.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, the hunting team dragged a sled carrying three roe deer tied up, and then led a moose with a shoulder height of more than two meters, and finally went down the mountain and entered Daliushu Village.

Even at the entrance of the village, there were children who were watching the fun and were attracted by the huge moose. For a moment, it became more and more lively, with more and more villagers watching, even blocking the way home.

"Fan Xue, did you and your nephew capture a big one alive during this trip into the mountains?"

"This big guy must be wild, right? How come it is so obedient that it can be led by someone? Doesn't it struggle?"

"Uncle, do you want to kill this big moose? Do you need help?"

……

Meng Fanxue returned to the village today. Unlike the helplessness he felt yesterday after being wrongly accused, his face was rosy and he looked very confident.

"Gentlemen, please make way. This big deer is wild. My nephews and his friends helped me catch it! If there are lambs in its belly, we need to keep them as breeding stock! Children, please move aside. Be careful not to scare the deer or it will get stepped on!"

After my second uncle's call, the crowd that was standing in front watching the excitement dispersed to both sides. In the end, a large group of people followed the Meng family back to their old house.

My uncle, Yue Feng's mother, and my grandparents were all at home. When they heard the noise on the street, they came out to see what was going on.

When I looked up, I was shocked to see that my second uncle Yue Feng and the children had returned.

The one he brought back was almost as tall as the tall man on the warehouse eaves. (End of this chapter)
