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

Mountain farm

There was smoke and fire in the main room in the north wing.

Wu Keji, Zhao Dashan and Chen Zhenshan, three veteran old-school mountain hikers, all had pipes or Mohe cigarettes in their mouths.

Yue Feng sat among a few people and told them the detailed information he got from the Forestry Bureau.

"That's roughly the situation! This opportunity is rare. I plan to take my hunting team members on a trip. Master, and Uncle Wu and Uncle Chen, what do you think?"

After Yue Feng briefly talked about public intelligence, he began to ask for the opinions of several senior experts.

Zhao Dashan spoke first: "This black tiger shows up again? I think we have to go, this kind of opportunity is not easy to find.

This is a black tiger. I have never heard of a black tiger in my life. If you have the opportunity to participate in tiger hunting, you must not miss it! "

Uncle Chen also nodded and agreed: "Your master is right!
But, be careful, hunting tigers in the mountains is definitely not as easy as just a few of you!
In this situation, as long as you stay alert at all times, the worst that can happen is that the hunt will fail!

With a gun and a dog, the risk is not great! ”

At this time, Wu Keji crushed the cigarette butt on the sole of his shoe, coughed twice and said: "Your master and your uncle Chen support you to go, and I also support you to try, but I have something else to tell you!"

"Master, please tell me!"

Yue Feng looked at Wu Keji and waited patiently for his opinion.

Wu Keji continued, "I know a little more about Black Tiger than the other two!
If this black tiger is the same as the one in Wangtian Mountain, the consequences would not be as simple as one death and two injuries!
At least two more poachers' lives will be saved!"

"Ah? What's going on? I haven't heard you say that before!"

Yue Feng was slightly stunned when he heard this information.

Black Tiger killed two Maozi poachers? This is a very important piece of information, which is not reflected in the materials and intelligence of the Forestry Bureau.

Wu Keji said slowly: "I got the information about this black tiger from a Russian prisoner through interrogation!

A few days after we dealt with the group of Russians who broke into the camp, the transport team responsible for delivering supplies to them went to look for the missing persons.

As a result, four or five fully armed poachers and the night duty personnel were ambushed and attacked by the black tiger in the middle of the night.

In two nights, two poachers were bitten to death and dragged away!
This black tiger is a top-tier prey with a bounty on the international black market, worth at least tens of millions of dollars. Russian poachers are eager to get their hands on it.

Maozi, who lost two companions, quickly returned to his headquarters to report Black Tiger's information and sent new personnel over.

Then the personnel from the two battalions were taken care of by our people!

Assuming that there is no water in the information, let's continue the analysis.

This black tiger is around Wangtian Mountain. It probably attacks humans because it can't find food.

A tiger weighing several hundred kilograms could definitely replenish its strength and escape by eating one person, but it sneakily attacked and killed two people in two nights!
This shows a problem, that it hunts humans not just to fill its stomach, it may be a picky eater and only eat limited parts such as internal organs.

It is also possible that he is extremely bloodthirsty. "

While speaking, Wu Keji wrote the four words "cunning" and "bloodthirsty" directly on the calendar paper on the table in front of him with a pencil.

"The information from the Forestry Bureau later said that it caused one death and two injuries, which can also indirectly confirm this point!
When several hunting teams were searching the mountain, it did not rush to escape, but instead chose a lone team and launched a sneak attack, injuring people and dogs!

Combined with the previous situation, I judge that this black tiger is extremely dangerous!"

Yue Feng listened patiently and nodded: "What you said makes sense!
We have also fought against ordinary tigers. When being chased and besieged, they would pounce on people, but they would mainly run away and hide whenever they could!

Only when you can't hide will you bite the bullet and confront the hunter head-on!"

Wu Keji nodded and continued, "After analyzing the temperament, let's continue to deduce!
This black tiger is cunning and bloodthirsty, so you can't use conventional methods to hunt it, otherwise you will definitely suffer a great loss.

Even though our wolf-blooded dog is fast and smart, it has no chance of winning against a tiger!
Based on this point, the idea of ​​letting the dog run away to chase the tiger is directly ruled out.

Even if you bring your dog up the mountain, you must not let go of it. Use it as insurance and an alarm to protect yourself!"

When Uncle Chen heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Old Wu is right!
Not only can the dogs not run away, the people can't act separately either.

Everyone must have a weapon in their hands, so that they can resist the tiger's sneak attack!"

Yue Feng nodded: "Okay, I'll pay attention to this when I enter the mountain! Anything else?
The higher-ups asked us to capture him alive, but I think that's much more difficult than beating him to death. Do you have any good ideas?"

After briefly summarizing the tiger's character, Yue Feng then focused on how to operate it in actual combat.

At this point, Master Zhao Dashan has the final say.

"From ancient times to the present, there are only a few ways to catch prey alive!
The first method is poisoning, using a controllable poison to kill the prey, and then detoxifying it after catching the prey!
We don't have such poison at hand now, so this method won't work.

The second type is a sling or trap.

As for the sling, I feel it is very difficult. Tigers have a very strong sense of smell and are very smart. They will definitely not be caught by an ordinary sling. They have extremely sensitive reactions, so even if the trap is triggered, they can easily dodge and escape!

Trap has a similar meaning. There is no point in digging a hole.

You can try using a trap, but it requires a specially customized trap that is strong enough to catch the tiger.

If you can get a tranquilizer gun, you might have a chance!"

Hearing the word "anesthesia gun", Yue Feng shook his head helplessly.

I had asked Uncle Du about this thing when I was in the Forestry Bureau. At this stage, tranquilizer guns are not popular and are even quite primitive. At least the three northeastern provinces do not have this thing in service, so it can basically be passed.

“When you think about it this way, it seems like there aren’t many strategies that are actually useful!
The tiger cannot be trapped or caught, and it must be captured alive and cannot be shot to death. This job is a bit tricky!" Wu Keji said meaningfully.

"Otherwise, I'll go down the mountain and ask Uncle Zhao in the village if he has any medicine for the tiger?" Yue Feng couldn't help but suggest.

"It's useless. Tigers are not canines. Their physiques and habits are different! This black tiger is smarter than ordinary tigers. Knowing that the hunter has bad intentions towards it, it will definitely not be fooled by the poison!"

During the discussion, after several methods were rejected one after another, the room fell into a brief silence. Everyone put out their cigarettes, lit them up again, and frowned as they thought about other possible methods.

"Is it possible to use a hanging net?" Yue Feng thought of another method that seemed feasible.

Zhao Dashan sucked on his pipe until it turned red, and exhaled a puff of smoke: "Hanging net? If the materials are up to standard, this is an alternative plan!

Tigers are strong enough, so the hanging net must be very strong, otherwise it will be easily bitten off or grabbed by its sharp claws!
Theoretically, there is a certain possibility, but it is very difficult to put it into practice!

Catching a tiger is bound to be a long chase. It is also very difficult to set up a hanging net in advance when there is no way to judge where the tiger is going!
And the smell left by humans will also make it suspicious!

Let's keep this method as a backup for now, and think of other options later!"

The tiger was very tricky to deal with using conventional strategies, and everyone fell silent again.

At this moment, Yue Feng kept recalling the documentaries he had watched or the news from his past life.

If there were drones and tranquilizer guns, the difficulty of catching this tiger would be greatly reduced.

In the previous life, Wandashan No. 1 was locked in position by a drone, but it didn’t show off for long before it was given an anesthetic needle in the butt and was easily taken down.

But the conditions are not there now, and drones are not realistic. At best, we can have a Black Hawk to assist in the search, but we still cannot provide real-time image feedback.

This path still doesn't work.

About three minutes later, Master Zhao Dashan slapped his forehead and said, "I've thought of a trick that will definitely work, but it will take a while, so now is not the right time!"

"Hmm? Master, what did you come up with? Tell me about it!"

Zhao Dashan said: "Old Chen, Old Wu, have you heard about the old people in the past, who took advantage of the melting snow on the mountain after the spring and took the villagers up the mountain to trap roe deer and wild boars with their bare hands?

You say, if there is a suitable mountain environment, can it be used to trap tigers?"

After Zhao Dashan said this, Uncle Chen and Wu Keji looked at each other, and their eyes lit up.

"You know what, I think this trick is reliable!" Uncle Chen responded.

Yue Feng scratched his head: "Trapping roe deer and wild boar? I have heard of this, but how to do it specifically? Master, can you tell me?"

Zhao Dashan said generously: "In the early years, everyone lived in poverty, supplies were very scarce, and there were very few hunters in the village who had homemade hunting rifles.

It is almost wishful thinking to go into the mountains to hunt and capture wild animals without any suitable weapons!

However, some senior expert figured out a way to catch wild animals without firing a single shot!

This method is called driving snow holes to trap animals!

The temperature on the mountain is starting to rise now, and the snow crust has slowly become crispy. When the temperature gets warmer, the snow on the sunny slopes will thaw, and the snow on the shady slopes will begin to melt.

Choose a shady slope site with a suitable downwind location, the kind of mountain site with thick snow in winter. The bottom starts to thaw, but the snow crust on top can be preserved temporarily!
After the snow melted, the ground underneath was covered with mud made of rotting leaves. If you stepped on the snow, it would be up to your knees, or even deeper!

He chose this opportunity and led a large group of people up the mountain with drums and gongs to drive away the wild animals in other ravines.

Arrange the positions of personnel in advance and drive the mountain animals to the selected shady area!
In order to escape, these frightened animals entered the pit and soon could not run any further. The heavier the animals were, the harder it was to run!
Once you are trapped, the hunt is over!
Witnesses estimated that the weight of this black tiger was about three to four hundred kilograms, which was definitely much heavier than an ordinary wild boar or roe deer!

Once you are driven into the pit, there is a high probability that you will be caught!

By then, all the nets, ropes, and hunting forks will be used. Unless the tiger has wings, it will definitely be caught alive!"

After listening to the master's explanation, Yue Feng's eyes lit up: "This trick is feasible! I think it is much better than setting traps, throwing poison bait, etc."

Wu Keji also nodded: "I think Lao Zhao's method is the most suitable! This way, we don't need to fight the black tiger in close combat. It can ensure safety to the greatest extent, and the tiger can't expect it!"

Zhao Dashan continued, "It's just that it's still a little early now!
If the temperature continues to be the same as in previous years, it will probably take more than half a month for the shady slopes to start thawing!

Xiaofeng, half a month, can you wait that long?"

Yue Feng spread his hands and said, "We haven't issued a military order. There must be more than just our hunting team going to Hucheng!
We can definitely wait, but we're afraid that the black tiger will run away and lose its trace after being chased and harassed too many times, and then we will have no way to deal with it!
Conventional methods of beating the tiger with sticks are basically useless. I feel like there is no way to deal with that black tiger!"

“Since you can wait, take your people and stay there first!

Bring more people and go to the mountain to carefully inspect all the surrounding terrain, and always understand the approximate range of the black tiger's activities!
When the time is right, we will choose the battlefield for the decisive battle just like we did last time!

The job is done!
In addition, if you want to capture a black tiger alive, you must remember to find a blacksmith in advance to make handy tiger-taming tools, such as thick hunting forks, thick tiger-binding nets, and a large cage to be used after catching the tiger. All of these must be prepared in advance!
The claws of the beast are very sharp. Even if you fall into a pit, you must not let your guard down. You must be careful!"

Yue Feng nodded: "Okay, Master, I have remembered everything you told me. I will call the Forestry Bureau tomorrow morning!
When the time comes, I will follow everyone's advice and fight it with real swords and guns! I will never withdraw my troops until I defeat it!"

"Remember, safety comes first at all times! Everything else is secondary. We, the old guys, are waiting for your good news!" Wu Keji said earnestly.

Yue Feng nodded heavily: "Yeah, I'm going to be a father soon, so I must pay attention to safety!
This time, I want to bring Coal Ball with me. If we come into direct combat, Coal Ball will be injured at most, but Gouzi won’t lose his life!"

Uncle Zhao waved his hand and said, "Bring them all! The four wolf-blooded dogs, the coal balls, and the eagle, bring them all!
Don't take the old dogs home with you. I feel like they've lost a lot of strength. Don't take the risk of killing them!"

Yue Feng was also deeply touched by his master's reminder.

A hound doesn't age in one day, but there is a critical point.

This winter, we took the dogs to the mountains to hunt. The performance of the four old dogs declined by at least 30% compared to last year. Dahei was killed by the Russians, leaving only Heilang, Dahuang and Xiaohua.

These three meritorious dogs can just guard the farm when they have nothing to do, or follow the old man for a stroll in the mountains.

If we let them fight again, there will be a high probability that they will suffer meaningless losses and only add to our troubles.

After that, everyone chatted in the house for a while. After Yue Feng held a tactical meeting, he took Uncle Chen down the mountain and sent him home.

Then, I called Uncle Du the next morning.

The preliminary communication has been completed, and the hunt for black tigers in Tiger City is officially on the agenda! (End of this chapter)
