Chapter 111: Call One
As Batu with the oldest bloodline of hunting dogs, the genes of hunting are engraved in the bones.
Wang Kui picked up the kettle with a branch, blew it, took a sip of hot water, and walked to it, which turned out to be a few grass roots on the ground that had been gnawed.
Badu must have smelled the saliva left on the grass roots, so he kept circling around.
But he crouched down and found that there were several scratches on the earthy yellow ground near the roots of the grass that had been eaten.
Wang Kui roughly compared the width of the scratches, and then glanced at the tender grass that had been gnawed: "This should be left by the grassland marmot, that is, the marmot, the grassland area is very rich in herbivores, and it should have been a paradise for the bovine family, just like the African savannah." β
"But in China, subject to the threat of overhunting and carnivores, the development of medium and large bovidae is not good, and now the wild bovine family is classified below, including sheep subfamily, antelope subfamily animals, represented by yellow sheep, almost all of them are classified as protected animals. β
"On the contrary, rodents have become the 'king' of the Inner Mongolia grassland, classified as many as 50 kinds, there are Daurian yellow rats, Bryde's voles, etc., this marmot, fast breeding, strong destructive power, can be called grassland bandits, destroying vegetation everywhere, digging holes at will, often included in the monitoring and killing blacklist by the plant protection department. β
"After a while, when the group of dairy goats finish drinking water, we will look for it along the road, just grab one and taste it, and by the way, we will eliminate the harm for the Forestry Bureau!"
10,000 dairy goats, queuing up to drink water, is not a small job.
Wang Kui's water became warm, and the lazy sheep finished drinking.
Riding on the Galiban, wielding a sheep's whip, the hunting army continued on its way.
But this time, he focused on using his telescope to look at the surrounding grass pits, and the prairie marmot prefers juicy and fresh pastures, and its ability to choose the location with its back to the lake as its feeding ground means that it is not too far away.
Seeing Lao Kui so serious, the audience felt that it was a little unnecessary.
In their impression, the groundhog gives people the feeling that they are just a pair of iron and simple, and they don't need to work hard at all.
Looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room, Wang Kui shook his head, "You still underestimate wild marmots, this thing's sense of hearing and smell is extremely sensitive, and it will also pass messages between the same kind, it is still very difficult to track, and they have a lot of caves, and the underground passages are very complicated, once they run home, they don't have time to plug the holes." β
"Otherwise, the grassland marmot will not become the number one target for the Forestry Bureau and the Plant Protection Bureau, we track an animal in three main steps, simple tracking, systematic tracking and predictive tracking, the first I often show you, is to follow the animal's footprints, to the pond, river and other places. β
"Systematic tracking is a little bit harder, you need to understand the behavior of the animals, and the footprints and traces they leave in the grass, and make judgments based on biological science, whereas predictive tracking requires planning and hypothesis. β
"Just like I am now, first imagine the trajectory of the prey, speculate on the behavior of the prey, and even completely substitute into the prey, the grassland marmot is a very active social creature, they eat almost everywhere, the most like juicy and high-quality grass, according to this idea, the next place with dense vegetation is the location of the grassland marmot!"
Wang Kui's tracking hunter card has been upgraded to level four, and his analysis of active tracking is not much different from reaching the top among masters.
The flock of dairy goats, which were full of water, began to speed up gradually.
Even the Galiban runs more and more powerfully.
The sun is halfway down in the west, indicating that the time has passed three o'clock, and it is finally about to cool down.
At this time.
He finally found another dense bush, no more than seventy or eighty meters away.
"Gross!"
Wang Kui let out a low roar, pulled the reins with one hand, and raised the sheep whip with the other, and the entire sheep army immediately stopped.
"Anda, stand by the spot, big belly, Batu, come with me!"
Because Anda is a shepherd dog, he is not good at hunting, and besides, the sheep always need to be guarded by hunting dogs to avoid panic or sneak attacks by other carnivores.
As soon as the audience heard Lao Kui's order, they really had a feeling of dispatching troops.
He let Galiban move slowly at a constant pace, and he used his binoculars to look around and observe carefully.
Suddenly.
Within the lens, a yellow shadow flashed into the range.
Wang Kui hurriedly pulled the multiplier closer, and when he looked closely, it was indeed a groundhog.
Above high school, Zhao Zhongheng controlled the drone to zoom in on the camera.
The audience also saw that next to the dense bushes, there were four fat yellow-gray shadows, looking down at the grass on the ground.
The largest of them was almost half a meter long, as if fat as a ball, to say the least it had to be seventeen or eighteen pounds, covered with yellow-brown hair, and its cheek pouches on both sides were bulging, looking like a hamster hoarding goods.
The little black eyes, motionless, only cared about holding the grass with its fat two front paws, revealing its big yellow teeth, full of foodies, so simple that it was to death!
[Hahaha, I want to be happy when I see this Hanhan!]
[Call one, ahhh
[Give face, call one!]
When the sailors saw these fat guys, they thought of the popular groundhog shouting emoji on the Internet.
Wang Kui jumped down from Galiban and hung the shepherd's whip on the black pannier behind him.
This is the new equipment he bought especially for this grassland hunt, because he knew that there were horses available, he bought a multi-purpose pannier bag to replace his personal backpack, reduce the weight, increase flexibility, and carry more things.
He told Galiban to stand by and be on standby.
Because the sound of horses' hooves trampling is still too loud, it is easy to alarm the savannah marmots with keen hearing.
"Lao Zhao, the drone flies higher, stay away from me!"
In the end, he whispered a word, and now only Wang Kui, Da Yu, and Batu were left, one person and two dogs, slowly approaching the bushes.
The grassland is no better than the jungle.
There is very little cover, and most of the gaps are endless and unobstructed.
He could only find a way to rely on the remaining bushes, squatting and moving, and as he walked, he also felt the direction of the wind with his hands, looking for the downwind position, and ambushed him.
The distance between the two sides.
From fifty or sixty meters, it was shortened to thirty or forty meters.
At this time.
One of the steppe marmots raised its head, its neck stretched out, and its head stared blankly to the west.
But the audience has long known from the trip to Laos that herbivores like this with eyes on both sides observe movement in this way.
Because it faces the west, the eyes on both sides can see the north and south sides.
And Lao Kui, they are now in the north!
Wang Kui didn't dare to move again.
The prey was obviously startled, because another steppe marmot had stopped its food.
He took the American hunting bow from his back and aimed his arrow.
More than thirty meters, aiming at four half-meter-long creatures, there is still a certain certainty!
Then.
The prairie marmot that was the fattest at the beginning finally felt that something was wrong, and began to raise its head and squeak, and the only two remaining ones of the same kind who were still gnawing on the grass also stopped moving.
But just as they got up and prepared to leave.
Whewββ!
