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

Xiao Weimin was not a hunter, but from Yue Feng's attitude towards his falcon and hound, he sensed many subtle emotions that only a hunter could have.

On the surface, Yue Feng seemed to have a good attitude, sending his dog and eagle into battle to give the film crew a chance to shoot good footage.

However, Xiao Weimin could still tell from Yue Feng's subtle expressions as he examined the hunting dog and treated its wounds that Yue Feng was feeling sorry for.

How could I not feel heartbroken? I raised them from a half-grown cub, eating and sleeping in one room and growing up little by little. And jackals have exceptionally sharp teeth; a bite from one of them would leave a wound.

Yue Feng felt he had naturally concealed these subtle emotional changes, but he never expected that Xiao Weimin had captured them all on camera.

At that moment, Xiao Weimin made a decision in his heart: even if he had to submit a report to his superiors, he had to preserve these precious shots!
Falcons, hounds, and hunters are all the main characters in the documentary, and Yue Feng's performance deserves the respect of all viewers.

After treating the dog's wounds, Yue Feng rinsed his hands with water from the kettle and went to the fire.

Looking down, I saw that Xiao Weimin and the others had grilled the venison and placed it in a far spot, but they hadn't started eating it yet.

"The meat's all grilled, so eat up! It'll get cold soon!" Yue Feng said with a smile.

Xiao Weimin grinned and handed one of the venison skewers to Yue Feng: "You're our main hero today, so don't worry about us being late. We'll start eating after you're done!"

Yue Feng took the venison, glanced at it, and then took a bite.

The meat of the venison is tender and juicy after roasting. It is seasoned with salt, cumin and chili powder, and has a subtle pine aroma.

This tastes quite good.

"You guys should try it, it's delicious! This venison meat is so tender!"

Yue Feng had already made the introductions, so everyone picked up the meat skewers in front of them and took a taste.

To be honest, the venison skewers grilled in the open wilderness under extremely rudimentary conditions tasted far better than expected.

Xiao Weimin also took a bite of the meat and couldn't help but exclaim, "Tsk tsk, it's really delicious! The outside is slightly charred, but the inside still holds the juices! So fresh and delicious!"

I've eaten venison before, and compared to this lamb venison, the difference is quite obvious!

"Hehe, eat more if it's delicious. Now that we've finished our business, we just need to get home before dark. There's plenty of time!" Yue Feng tore off another piece of venison and swallowed it.

Xiao Weimin said meaningfully, "Yes, the important business is almost finished!"
Tonight we'll go back and quickly organize the footage we've shot these past few days! If nothing's been missed, we'll be heading back by tomorrow or the day after at the latest!

"You're already heading back? Not staying a few more days? We even agreed that you'd visit my farm on the mountain!"

Yue Feng became slightly anxious upon hearing about the plan.

After all, the farms on the mountain also need additional exposure. If the documentary can dedicate a certain amount of time to them, it would be equivalent to doing an advertisement with the backing of CCTV.

Once the documentary is released, it may be seen by audiences both domestically and internationally, giving Yue Feng new opportunities to expand his network.

Xiao Weimin didn't refuse and replied, "It's only noon now. Let's eat and drink our fill and then head down the mountain to the farm. We should have enough time!"

"Sure! Can the news from the breeding farm appear all over the area? To be honest, I already have two nests of gyrfalcons!"
I want to use this documentary to expand my network and connections for future development!

Yue Feng didn't mince words with Xiao Weimin and went straight to the point about his plans.

"A large portion of the film is definitely not realistic, but I can guarantee you a short exposure of the scene!"

After the documentary airs, I'm sure many people will be interested in the offspring of our two falcons, one black and one white!
As you know, both domestically and internationally, there are actually quite a few people with the resources to train birds of prey!

"Hehe, that's perfect! If someone introduces the seedlings, I can make some money while I'm at it!" Yue Feng scratched his head and grinned.

……

A wild and untamed BBQ meal ended in a relaxed atmosphere of eating and chatting.

The remaining meat from that fawn was not finished even after everyone had eaten their fill.

As for the other doe that was slaughtered, it was left completely untouched.

After eating, drinking, and resting well, Yue Feng led the film crew down the mountain.

The two female deer, each weighing approximately 70 to 80 pounds (excluding internal organs).

Yue Feng carried the blind doe on his own, and then had the film crew help carry the other, lighter doe that had been slaughtered. He led the dog gang and the film crew back the way they came, stumbling along the way.

As for the pack of jackals at the edge of the woods, they suffered heavy losses in the battle against the Falcon Dog Gang, losing at least four or five adult jackals. After hearing Yue Feng fire his gun to drive them away, they had already fled without a trace, leaving only the jackal carcasses torn to pieces on the ground.

Around 2 PM, everyone returned to where they had parked their cars.

They loaded the spoils into the car, set up the camera equipment, and had the eagle and dog follow behind. They then drove down the mountain in a grand procession, heading straight for the breeding farm.

An hour and a half later, the group arrived at Yue Feng's breeding farm.

There are still more than three hours until dark, so the lighting is more than enough for shooting.

Hearing the sounds of the dog gang and the car engine, Zhao Dashan came out to greet them early.

"Xiaofeng, how did the filming go today? Was everything going smoothly?" Zhao Dashan asked Yue Feng with concern.

Yue Feng grinned: "Hehe, Master! We exceeded the mission target! We not only had the Dog Gang and Falcon work together to catch three deer—two big and one small—but we also fought with the jackals from Deer Valley and killed at least four or five of them!"

"Did they really go to Deer Valley to hunt jackals? Are they large and numerous?" Zhao Dashan asked excitedly upon hearing this.

"There are quite a few of those red jackals! At least fifteen or sixteen of them are involved in the melee. The jackal queen looks quite young and is standing at the edge of the woods overseeing the battle; she hasn't come down!"

After listening, Zhao Dashan nodded and said with some concern, "A large herd of fifteen or sixteen jackals... that means the deer herds in Deer Valley are going to have a tough time this winter!"

"Hehe, there aren't fifteen or sixteen left now, at most a little over ten!"
"You haven't seen it, but these four wolf-blooded dogs of ours are incredibly fierce fighters! They can grab a jackal by the neck in one bite, and with the help of their companions, two of them can tear the jackal apart in a single round!" Yue Feng described vividly.

"These dogs of Canglong are really good, smart and strong! Now you're not in a hurry to go back, are you? We'll eat on the mountain tonight, and this old man will stew meat for you!"

Xiao Weimin nodded: "Hehe, grandpa, we won't stand on ceremony with you this time! We were just talking to Xiaofeng on the way here, about wanting to film all the animals in our farm. We heard you even trained a black bear?"

Zhao Dashan: "Okay! Let's go inside and have some tea and rest for a while. I'll show you around later!" And so, the film crew followed Yue Feng and Zhao Dashan into the breeding farm.

Since Xiao Weimin was Xiao Dong's friend, Old Zhao considered him one of his own, so he treated everyone with great hospitality.

After boiling water and making tea, and settling everyone in, he called out to Coal Ball, who was sleeping in the storeroom.

“Our black bear is quite intelligent, so don’t be afraid. I’ve called it inside!” Zhao Dashan added before it went inside.

"Don't worry, we're not afraid!"

Before he could finish saying "I'm not afraid," Xiao Weimin saw the coal ball, like a black mountain of flesh, 'squeeze' into the doorway of the north room.

The hunger he experienced as a child instilled in Coal Ball an innate and extreme craving for food, making him seize every opportunity to eat.

It can eat a lot, so it grows fast. In addition, it doesn't hibernate in winter and continues to eat and drink to grow. At only one and a half years old, it has already grown into a big guy weighing nearly 300 pounds.

Coal Ball was wearing a leather armor that Yue Feng had made for him. The combination of his huge physique and the armor gave him an imposing and awe-inspiring appearance at first glance.

"Coal Ball, come here!" Yue Feng called out, waving at Coal Ball.

The clever coal ball immediately approached Yue Feng and hugged his trouser leg like a child being affectionate.

Yue Feng reached into his pocket, pulled out two pieces of rock candy, and handed them to Mei Qiu.

Coal Ball rolled up the rock candy with his tongue and swallowed it into his mouth, then crunched it up with a satisfied expression on his face.

"This black bear, you said it's only a little over a year old?" Xiao Weimin looked the large bear up and down, somewhat incredulous.

Yue Feng nodded: "That's right! The bear cub from the winter before spring! It was taken down the mountain by lumberjacks before it even opened its eyes. I bought it from my classmate Xiaoyao's house! I've been raising it on the mountain ever since!"

At this moment, Xiao Tian couldn't help but ask, "Under normal circumstances, a wild bear cub that's a little over a year old should only weigh a little over 100 pounds at most, right? Is ours a mutant species? How come it's growing so fast!"

Zhao Dashan chuckled and explained, "This bear cub isn't a mutant! It just eats a lot and doesn't have to hunt for food itself, which is why it grows so fast!"
In addition, wild bears hibernate in winter, spending the whole winter in tree holes without food, losing at least 30% of their weight!
The bear cubs are raised by humans and have no shortage of food in winter. The fat they gained in summer and autumn doesn't need to be reduced, and they will continue to grow in winter!

If it were a bear from the same den in the wild, it would weigh at most 150 pounds! Coal Ball is a male bear, and it's estimated to weigh around 260-270 pounds now! By next spring, it should weigh over 300 pounds!
"Hey, come here, show us your talent!"

At Zhao Dashan's call, Meiqiu unfurled Yue Feng's trousers and eagerly trotted over to Zhao Dashan.

"Come on, let's give everyone a fist salute!"

The bear immediately stood up, clasped its hands together, and looked adorable.

"Roll over again!"

The coal ball continued to do as it was told, rolling off the ground and huffing and puffing as it went to ask Grandpa Zhao for candy.

The old man gave the candy to the coal ball while patting its head.

"This little guy may look simple-minded, but he's actually very smart! He can understand human speech!"

It used to eat and sleep with me in the north room. But it got a bit fat around autumn, and we had to open both doors to squeeze in. I jokingly told it that if it got any fatter, it wouldn't be able to get into the north room and would have to sleep in the storeroom!

As a result, starting from the second day, Coal Ball went to the barn to sleep with its little blanket. When I got up in the morning, it was already waiting at the door. It would help me clean the cages in the farm and even help move wood!
All the animals here, big and small, recognize the coal briquettes and are no longer afraid of them!

After listening to Zhao Dashan's introduction, Xiao Weimin developed a strong interest in this intelligent black bear.

Xiao Weimin suggested, "We're planning to film some documentary footage of Xiaofeng's eagle enclosure later, so let's have Meiqiu come along! Our bear is more intelligent than any circus bear!"

"The animal training skills of ordinary circuses are far inferior! They rely solely on starvation and whipping to keep going!"

Have you ever seen a domesticated wolf in a circus? We have wolf cubs on our mountain that are three-quarters wolf blood!

The circus has tigers and lions, but there are no wolves!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Weimin's attention immediately shifted again.

"You still have wolf cubs on the mountain?"

Yue Feng nodded and explained with a smile, "To be precise, this cub is the offspring of Canglong and a silver she-wolf from the mountain! Canglong was originally a hunting dog with half wolf blood, and now he has bred with the she-wolf and had a cub! So they have three-quarters wolf blood!"
These wolfhounds of mine were all trained and managed by my master! The next batch of puppies will also be under my master's care.

Once the wolf cubs are a bit older, after a simple selection process, we'll continue breeding them. In just a few generations of selective breeding, we'll have a hound breed that's as good as, or even better than, the Azure Dragon!

"That's professional!" Xiao Weimin exclaimed, giving a thumbs-up in admiration.

After finishing his tea, Xiao Weimin couldn't sit still in the room any longer.

Afterwards, following Yue Feng and Zhao Dashan, they arrived in the courtyard and saw the wolf cub that Yue Feng's master had mentioned.

The wolf cubs, only a few months old, were just like puppy cubs, showing no fear of strangers at all, and instead displaying remarkable liveliness.

The puppies and the coal ball didn't fight; instead, they played and frolicked together like partners. This natural and peaceful atmosphere made it seem as if they were all members of a large family on the mountain, creating a very harmonious scene.

After filming several videos of black bears and wolf cubs, Xiao Weimin arrived at the cage of Yue Feng's gyrfalcon eagles.

The black and white lances, both wearing artificially created leg bands, were agile and resembled the Great Black Eagle and the Little White Spear by at least eight or nine points, clearly their offspring.

In contrast, falcons kept in cages for breeding are a little more nervous around people.

They were only close to Grandpa Zhao. Even with Yue Feng, because they spent less time together on the mountain, they were only less averse to him.

The birds that bred last spring are now a year and a half old. If all goes well, they will be able to pair up and breed next spring, or maybe a year later.

At that time, the second-generation spear falcons can be produced continuously.

To help Yue Feng, Xiao Weimin filmed a lot of footage of these gyrfalcons, which was then edited into the final film, thus filling the last gap in the content on eagle training, raising, and raptor breeding.

On the mountain, Xiao Weimin saw a bear that seemed to understand human nature, an obedient wolf, and a top-quality falcon.

He thought he had already gained enough for the day, until Yue Feng took him to see the pure white sable. (End of Chapter)
