Chapter 263: A Good Hunter Won't Let Himself Get Hurt
The starry sky at night was exceptionally bright, but it was cold and dewy in the mountains, and it was quite uncomfortable to stay outside the tent.
When the first rays of sunlight shone on the ground in the morning, the wolf rang the pot for cooking.
Lu Xiaochuan and Brother Kui slept in a tent with a thick moisture-proof mat, which was not bad, but the smell of two men drilling into a tent was not very good.
"We have a heavy task today, and if we want to camp at the top of the mountain, we can't afford to delay time. ”
Zhang Zhandong has rich experience in entering the mountains, and with his cousin and friends, he chose the most familiar route, "The place for lunch is a bit far away, so we need to leave early." ”
According to Zhang Zhandong's plan, it takes about four hours to reach the next suitable area for rest.
Counting the time spent hunting and collecting food, if you want to eat lunch at a normal time, you have to move quickly.
After a hasty breakfast, the group continued on their way.
Mike, along with the grizzly bear and the wolf, were veterans of entering the mountains, and they not only took care of breakfast, but also put away the camp while the others were eating and drinking.
Things like tents, moisture mats, sleeping bags, etc., need to be repacked, while household waste needs to be inspected, and what should be buried is buried, and most importantly, to make sure that no fire is left behind.
Continuing along the river, Zhang Zhandong introduced the scenery and animals and birds to a group of friends.
Although the altitude of Bashapu Mountain is not too high, the natural environment is maintained quite well because there are no human beings.
The residents of Luwei Town don't care much about this, and even hate it.
It is precisely because of the environment that the wild animals live carefree, and the population continues to expand, which in turn affects the lives of the town's residents.
Destroying the dealer, breaking into the town, and even attacking humans.
Along the way, Mike and Grizzly Bear told countless such examples, and Lu Xiaochuan and Brother Kui looked at each other.
After staying in a country where people can be seen everywhere for a long time, it is really hard to imagine the predicament faced by Luwei Town.
However, Xiao Ruo's brain turned quickly, and he directly said that shooting was irresponsible behavior for his companions, and he would never go hunting, so Mike and Grizzly Bear laughed and stopped talking nonsense.
These two guys were worried that the ladies would not be able to accept the bloody scene and dare not hunt their prey, so they deliberately enlightened.
However, they were telling the truth, and last year a herd of reindeer broke into the town, destroying a lot of crops, and wild boars hurt people, and every three or four years, it always happened.
Zhang Zhandong had encountered it before, but the wild boar that broke into his vineyard was very small, and there were many people and guns in the fishery, so there was no chaos.
At the bend of the river, I encountered a herd of reindeer.
There are about more than a dozen of these deer, and the leader is a male deer with huge antlers, which is considered a big one.
"Do you want to hunt that stag, its horns are so big!"
Luo Xingwan seems to be in a good mood today, and he is much more lively, "Is such antlers worth collecting?"
"No, the antlers are still too small. ”
Zhang Zhandong is very experienced, "There are only eight forks, not even ten forks, it's useless to hunt." ”
Luo Xingwan stuck out his tongue, unspeakably shy and cute, and the tool man hurried over, shaking the shotgun in his hand, saying that as long as the employer was willing, he could kill an eight-pronged reindeer at any time.
There are usually no humans in the mountains, and occasionally hunters enter the mountains, not a few times a year.
Most wild animals have never seen humans since they were born.
This was clearly the case with the reindeer, who looked at each other across the river with a group of people, lowered their heads and continued to nibble on the moss by the river.
"Now is not the time to hunt, we are too far from the noon camp to carry the prey up the mountain. ”
Grizzly explained with a smile, although his tone is still familiar, but the words are very clear, and everyone can understand Chinese.
Continue to walk up the river, the weather is good today, the sun is shining in the forest, quite a bit of poetry.
Around the bend of the river, the wolf began to gather some wild vegetables.
Lu Xiaochuan and his gang had never seen this thing, so Zhang Zhandong helped explain, called Ziqi, likes a humid environment, is common in places where rivers bend, can be used to fry meat and eat, and it tastes good.
is worthy of being an employee of the foodie boss, Luo Xingwan and Xiao Youwu and Xiao Ruo expressed their expectations.
After eating meat and staple foods for a day, it is inevitable that you will feel greasy, especially for girls.
The purple leaf is more than half a meter tall, the rhizome is very thick, the branches are forked, and the leaves are triangular, Lu Xiaochuan picked a leaf casually, rubbed it and put it on the end of his nose and smelled it, the taste was really okay.
The tool man's sense of smell is quite sensitive, and he is born with a bonus, and later he has been specially trained, so the analysis of the breath is quite in place.
Gathering enough of them, the group continued on their way.
Climbing a mountain is really tiring, especially the non-stop rush.
But there are pleasant scenery, there are novel animals or birds, there is always something to talk about, even if you are carrying a load, no one is tired.
Along the way, I have encountered wild beasts and birds such as white-booted rabbits, hazel chickens, and North American river blacks, but they have not hunted, Zhang Zhandong said in advance, today's lunch will be very simple, and there is no need to prepare in advance.
After finding a slope overgrown with celery, everyone put down their backpacks and rested.
This place is also a resting spot chosen in advance, where you can rest your feet, drink some water, and pick a handful of celery by the way.
On the way, I ran into a few more reindeer herds, which showed that these guys were really flooded.
It's just that no one wants to do a senseless hunt, at most two shots, and drive them deeper into the mountains.
"Hey, boss, look over there. ”
Mike looked ahead, but his finger was poking at the woods behind him, "There's a cute guy in the tree, don't scare it." ”
Like thieves, the group secretly looked in the direction that Mike pointed.
A dwarf beech squatted on a Canadian lynx.
This guy is nearly a meter long, with brown and yellow fur, like a shrunken cheetah!
This season, the brownish-yellow fur can provide it with a good latent effect.
Whether it's hiding from other hunters or hunting down those critters, it's a great outfit.
The lynx has a strong body, strong limbs, black tufts of hair at the tips of its ears, long drooping hairs on its cheeks, and short hairs on its body with spots on its hair.
This guy is a meat eater and a hunter.
However, there is no need to worry about it attacking humans.
For the lynx, humans are too large to be included in its diet.
On the other hand, if it is not careful, if it is injured by a human, even a small injury, it will have a fatal effect.
In the mountains and forests, a good hunter cannot be injured.
As if he had discovered himself being secretly observed by humans, the lynx straightened up, jumped a few times, and disappeared into the woods.
"Good luck to this little guy!"
Zhang Zhandong looked at the direction where the lynx disappeared with a smile, "It's time for us to continue on the road, how about eating wild boar at noon?"
