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

Upon hearing that Li Fulin was going to give a live demonstration, Yue Feng immediately perked up.

“Sure, I’ll go with Brother Li and broaden our horizons!” Yue Feng nodded in agreement without hesitation.

“Our club’s rabbits haven’t arrived yet, so let’s not bother with the whole process. How about we just go out and check on the piles and remove the hats?” Li Fulin suggested.

"Okay, I can think of most of the other things in my head, but I've never seen this hat-removal before. Let's take a look at this one!"
Is there any risk involved in this?
Let me find out first. If there are any taboos, let's be a little conservative and cautious before the exhibition starts!

Yue Feng was itching to ask, but he still made his attitude and concerns clear.

Playing around is fine, but we have serious business to attend to, and we can't let it interfere with our work.

Li Fulin smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry about that. I've already trained Duozi and Tuhu! Even if they make a mistake, they'll recognize the whistle and won't lose their footing!"

"That's good, shall we go now?"

"go!"

Soon, everyone got up and left the tea room.

Li Fulin turned and went to the next-door rest room, where he took the pair of old falcons with their hats on and an albino falcon next to them and rode them down to the release area.

The pair of old falcons in Li Fulin's hands had been kept in cages for many years, and now, with their hats on, they were holding them in his hands, behaving quite steadily.

The falcons had fluffy feathers and were very relaxed. The roar of a Liberation truck engine could be heard in the distance, but the two falcons were not affected at all.

The other albino, wearing a goldfish-eye screw-shaped hat on its head, also looked very relaxed.

"Uncle Li, aren't you going to prepare some food?" Yue Feng reminded him.

"No need, a whistle is enough! The eagles I handle are fed on time; they've developed a habit!" Li Fulin said with considerable confidence.

Since the person in question had said so, Yue Feng nodded and didn't open his mouth again.

Li Guangkun, standing to the side, scratched his head and looked at Li Fulin with some curiosity as he rode three falcons, two large and one small.

"Xiaofeng, what kind of game is this?"

Yue Feng grinned: "Just watch! It's quite interesting! The rabbits haven't arrived yet, and the tents and other things next to the release area aren't set up yet either. Let's watch this part first! The rabbit and tiger put on their hats and fly high, while Peach Blossom takes off their hats!"

As they spoke, the group had arrived at a suitable open space for the demonstration.

Li Fulin temporarily handed the male falcon near the outside of his arm to Yue Feng, then blew a whistle and used his teeth and left hand to pull the hat strap of Tu Hu halfway open, but did not take it off.

The old rabbit-tiger sensed its owner taking off the hat. With its eyes covered, it made a cawing sound, sounding extremely cheerful.

Li Fulin supported the rabbit-tiger with one arm, flicked his wrist, and raised his forearm. The blindfolded rabbit-tiger sensed the force and immediately used it to leap up, flapping its wings and circling in the sky.

After repeated training, Old Rabbit Tiger had long since adapted to flying in the dark. It seemed to draw a spiral upward trajectory in the air. The climb rate was not fast, but the flight was quite stable.

After climbing to a height of about 70 or 80 meters, it had become a black dot when viewed from the ground.

Seeing that the rabbit-tiger had reached a certain height, Li Fulin blew his whistle again, and the old rabbit-tiger began to spread its wings and fly in a circular pattern in the air.

At the same time, the hats on the whitened peach blossom stacks were removed.

The little dog has bright, alert eyes. After taking off its hat and briefly adjusting to the surrounding light, it looks at its owner, ready to give the next command.

Li Fulin whistled again, flicked his wrist, and the small pile flew out of his hand, chasing after the rabbit and tiger flying in the sky almost vertically.

The stack is small in size, but it climbs very quickly. Once it locks onto its target, it forms an almost steep vertical line as it chases the old rabbit and tiger in the sky.

Soon, the stack flew to the same height, aimed at the hat on Old Rabbit Tiger's head, rushed up and grabbed it off.

Old Rabbit Tiger was already familiar with the albino stack, and since it had just taken off its hat, it needed a few seconds to adjust to the light, so it wouldn't attack during this gap.

Having successfully caught the albino rabbit hat, it firmly gripped it with its claws and, from a height of nearly 100 meters, folded its wings and flew straight down.

It flew directly to Li Fulin's hand, then released the hat it was holding with its claws, and started barking and wagging its tail at Li Fulin.

This vertical climb followed by a mid-air hat-removal and rapid dive completely stunned Li Guangkun.

Holy crap!

Yue Feng also carefully examined the coordination between the large and small falcons from beginning to end, and was quite shocked.

Saker falcons are birds of prey with a very strong personality. In the wild, they have virtually no natural enemies and are not afraid of birds of prey such as golden eagles.

The grey falcon, in the wild, dares not challenge the saker falcon. It is in a state where it can only survive by being careful, and if it is not careful, it will be killed by the saker falcon.

However, in the hands of falconers, these two types of falcons can coexist peacefully and even cooperate, which is very rare and is equivalent to changing their nature.

"Good bird!"

Li Fulin gently comforted the little white falcon for a few moments, then patted its head.

The albino cat nestled comfortably in Li Fulin's palm, curling its paws and cuddling.

"Uncle Li, Old Rabbit Tiger has taken off his hat, and we haven't released any rabbits. Should we call him back?" Yue Feng asked.

Li Fulin waved his hand: "No rush, let it play for a while! It didn't see the dog or the male falcon take off, it knows it's training, it won't run around!"

After saying this, Li Fulin casually took off Gong Jun's hat and whistled again.

The male falcon immediately flapped its wings and took off, chasing after its companion in the air.

Once they reached a certain altitude, the two falcons began to circle in place, maintaining a perimeter of about several tens of meters.

Without its master's command, it showed no intention of flying far away, and even the range of the circles it circled remained basically unchanged.

"Uncle Li, how did you stop the big falcon from bullying Xiaoduozi?" Yue Feng asked curiously.

Li Fulin smiled and narrowed his eyes: "It's in the nature of the big falcon to bully the small one, and you can't force it to change! You can only adjust it little by little!"

First and foremost, the falcon must be trained to be intelligent and understand its relationship with its owner before any attempts can be made.

Otherwise, no matter what methods you use, it will definitely grab or bite the pile when it sees it, wishing it could just kill it and eat it!
Only when the falcon is fully developed can the second part be considered to be more approachable.

First, feed the falcon to reduce its aggressiveness, and then place the two types of falcons at a relatively close distance to allow them to gradually adapt to each other.

The artificially bred chicks that we hatched ourselves are a bit better. They don't recognize the rabbits and tigers, so they're not too afraid. We just need to keep an eye on the falcon's condition!
After eating and raising their fins together for a while, the two falcons will gradually become familiar with each other, and their hostility will greatly decrease.

Then, we can gradually upgrade our relationship, get closer, share meat, and light lamps together. When Duozi and Tuhu can squat side-by-side and sleep together, the timing will be pretty much right!

If the target is found in the wild, this training process cannot be guaranteed to be 100% successful.

Some of the falcons have been bullied by other eagles and falcons in the wild. When they see a falcon at close range, they can't let their guard down. In that case, you have to find another falcon and start training it all over again!

Besides the technical requirements, this thing also involves an element of luck!

"Then, why did you have Duozi take off the hat from Rabbit and Tiger? How were they trained?"

Before Yue Feng could ask, Li Guangkun couldn't help but ask about the key to the highlight moment.

Li Guangkun regretted asking the question as soon as it left his mouth.

This is their specialty; asking about it casually would be a bit presumptuous.

However, Li Fulin had a good impression of this cousin and did not show any emotion.

"There are even more details to pay attention to when removing hats from piles of straw!"

First, the stack and the falcon must be very familiar with each other and have no hostility towards each other before they can move on to the next step!
Secondly, the children need to recognize the food by the hats they are given; they know that if they grab a hat and come back, they can exchange it for meat!
Once you're familiar with it, you can start trying it out. Begin with training to squat on the platform and remove your hat, then gradually move outdoors, and increase the height of the rabbit and tiger to coordinate with the stack!
That's roughly the logic. Of course, there are some details to pay attention to, but I can't go into detail about those!

After listening to Li Fulin's introduction, Yue Feng nodded.

Although Uncle Li didn't go into details, Yue Feng could already understand the logic.

Training eagles actually shares some commonalities with training other animals.

It simply involves starting by establishing conditioned reflexes and gradually shortening the distance and increasing the time to get the trained animal to meet the owner's requirements.

If you do it right, reward yourself with food; if you do it wrong, there is no reward, and the mistake is corrected!
Once a clear training path has been identified and the underlying logic has been clarified, all that remains is a significant investment of time.

After listening to Li Fulin's explanation, Li Guangkun frowned slightly and thought for five or six seconds before nodding: "I understand a little bit. Impressive! Eagles can be trained like this. I've really learned something new today!"

"Haha, it's nothing special, just a little trinket passed down from our ancestors!"

Once the rabbit arrives and the venue is ready, I'll show you the full version!
In this game, the eagle and the dog need to work together, the hawk needs to work with the rabbit and the tiger, and the male falcon needs to work with the goat and the monkey! It's all about high-level coordination and high-quality execution!

"Yeah, Xiaofeng and I aren't leaving these next few days, so we're sure to get a real treat for our eyes!"

"These two falcons have had enough fun, shall we go back inside?"

"Row!"

Li Fulin whistled at the falcons in the sky, and the two waiting falcons immediately swooped down and quickly landed back on Li Fulin's arm.

During this process, Yue Feng noticed the albino peach blossom cluster nestled in Li Fulin's left palm.

The little guy wasn't afraid at all when faced with the male and female falcons descending from the sky. He didn't even lift his eyelids, let alone show any vigilance or fear.

After demonstrating their amazing skill of removing the hat from the stack, everyone strolled back home.

Before they even entered the house, they collided head-on with Ye Jianjun's car at the door.

"Xiaofeng and Brother Li are here! What are you guys busy with?!" Ye Jianjun jumped out of the driver's seat and greeted them with a smile.

"Brother Jun! I just went downstairs with Uncle Li and saw an amazing skill: removing a hat from a stack!" Yue Feng called out, laughing as he spoke.

"Is the performance over? How was it? Will you be able to deliver a stable performance on the opening day?" Ye Jianjun asked with concern.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problem!" Li Fulin said confidently.

"That's good. Do you have any plans for tonight? I'll treat you. Let's find a place to have a drink," Ye Jianjun suggested.

Yue Feng shook his head: "Let me tell you, let's go to my place tonight! I've already asked the housekeeper to prepare dinner in advance! We can cook some home-style dishes, have a lively chat with some drinks, and chat behind closed doors. What do you think?"

Since Yue Feng had already spoken, Ye Jianjun naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Okay, let's go to your place! Jinlong told me that the aunt he arranged is a really good cook, let's go and try her cooking tonight!"

"no problem!"

Ye Jianjun continued to Yue Feng, "By the way, have you looked at the exhibition layout and stuff? Since there's still time, if you have any questions, please let me know, and I'll arrange for someone to make changes!"

"Well, I didn't actually look at it! Where's the layout diagram? Let's study it together!"

"It's inside, I'll find it for you. Come on, let's go inside!"

"it is good!"

……

The group chatted as they returned to the tea room.

The others found seats, then boiled water again to make tea and started chatting.

Yue Feng took the exhibition layout from Ye Jianjun and patiently examined the details of the arrangement.

Overall, the layout is quite reasonable. The registration area, activity area, visitor area, and practical demonstration area are all divided reasonably, and the space is utilized efficiently.

The only thing that made Yue Feng feel uneasy was that the raptor display area and the free activity area were quite close together. If someone were to cause trouble, there was no physical barrier between them, making it impossible to eliminate the risk.

After thinking for a while, Yue Feng pointed to the layout on the map: "Brother Jun, switch the positions of the raptor display area and the public viewing area. Add an extra disinfection and changing area here! Anyone who needs to have close contact with live poultry must disinfect and change clothes here!!"

"Huh? What does this mean?" Ye Jianjun was slightly taken aback, staring intently at Yue Feng.

"That's exactly what you mean! You shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but you can't be without the heart to guard against others!"
The free activity area is crowded and noisy, making it impossible to have complete control. This area is too close to the raptor display area, which could easily lead to problems!

By raising the standards for epidemic prevention and protection by one level, we can reduce the risk of many troublesome issues!

The incident with the sick black magpie not long ago was still fresh in his mind. Now, for the first time, he was taking the lead in organizing such a large-scale exhibition and exchange event, and Yue Feng had no intention of taking any chances.

To put it bluntly, even if all the birds of prey, big and small, including the young eagles in the cages, died at the club, Yue Feng would only feel heartache, not serious damage.

However, Yue Feng's own main combat falcon and mature breeding birds must also be present. These eagles are Yue Feng's trump cards, and he cannot afford to take any risks!
Even if it's just for yourself, it's worth having higher standards.

After listening to Yue Feng's suggestion, Ye Jianjun nodded: "Okay, let's adjust it according to your suggestion! Besides that, there's another thing we need to consider!"

"What is it?" (End of Chapter)
