055 Bitley Pheasant
The jungles of Somalia are characterized by the fact that the plants are generally relatively short, most of them less than six meters, and the trees are mainly boxwoods, vertebral fruits, and acacia trees. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Frankincense, myrrh, gum tree, sumac... These economically valuable trees are also quite common, and there are a small number of baobabs --- trees that can store water in the jungle!
The trunk is very stout, without branches, and the canopy has large clusters of leaves, and the adult baobab tree, which can even store several tons of water, can save lives in the desert, and if someone runs out of water during the journey, they can dig holes for water.
There are many plants that make the shrubs and jungles look vibrant, but the coverage is average.
After all, this is African Somalia, where drought and water shortages have not improved for a long time, dry season plants have been reduced, yellow soils on the surface are hard and dry, and there is a serious lack of moisture!
As a result, it is mainly drought-tolerant and heat-tolerant plants and weeds that survive, or near water sources, and the vegetation at the edge of the bushes is relatively sparse and dense.
"Is this the place? It seems quiet, huh?"
Li Wei stopped, asked everyone to come down, and looked at the border area of the Gobi jungle in front of him, although the area is wide, it does not have a sense of luxury, which is far worse than the tropical rainforest.
"You have to go inside, there is no prey outside. The chief's son, Hamadi, explained that within the scope of the cover, they chose three to five kilometers inside, where pheasants are infested.
If you want to find pheasants, you have to look at the droppings, and the areas with the most chicken droppings must often come to forage for food, and it is easiest to successfully catch a large number of pheasants, which is an accumulation of experience.
Li Wei also knew that he followed them, carrying a shotgun sleeve and clip, into the sparse bushes. The most experienced hunters take the lead, observing and anticipating danger.
In the jungle, there are all kinds of killing opportunities, such as fierce beasts and poisonous snake traps, etc., if you are accidentally bitten by a gray cobra, you will definitely die!
Leopards are not easy to mess with, they are good at lurking and stealing surprise attacks, and they are extremely fast! Of course, they usually do not dare to attack crowds, and jackals are no different.
"China-Li, it used to be here, we killed a leopard, it suddenly rushed out, sneaked up on us from the back of the team, and almost succeeded!"
"Isn't it? It's really fake....." Li Wei was surprised.
"Of course it's true! You ask Hamadi that they were there at the time, and luckily we spotted the danger and shot it, killing it!"
"That's right, just a few years ago, that leopard skin was sold for fifty dollars, which is quite expensive!" Hamadi also introduced Li Wei as he walked, lamenting that it was very dangerous.
"Poof~50 dollars?" Li Wei almost vomited blood, sure enough, it was a bun of buns, so he only bought 50 dollars, even if it was a thousand dollars, it was cheap, right?
"China-Li, you see, that's a bomb tree. ”
Someone reminded Li Wei that he was stunned, this bomb tree seems to have heard that the fruit will explode when it is ripe, and the fragments can fly out at least 20 meters, which has a certain lethality.
The system explains that this fruit is really interesting, the fruit is ripe and fermented, and it can produce a large amount of energy, and then expand and burst.
Along the way, many strange plants, occasionally pheasants and rabbits pass by, the speed is very fast, it is unlikely to be successfully hit with a shotgun, and you can't waste bullets!
Half an hour forward, the jungle has changed, the vegetation is getting more and more vigorous, the ground is slightly wet, and some water sources appear in the bushes, and all kinds of dung are dense.
Looking at the vague paw prints, the system popularized science: "These are the paw prints left by jackals, African antelopes, wild boars, hyenas, and leopards drinking water, and there are many pheasants nearby!"
Of course Li Wei doesn't know it, except for the animal world, he hasn't seen these animals, let alone footprints, and I'm afraid ordinary hunters don't know either. So he advised:
"Wait~ let's get the next batch of condoms first!"
Hamadi agreed, told everyone to stop, and arranged for people to start looking for a place to set up a trap, and Li Wei also set a trap, took out a firewood knife, cut down branches and sticks, and set up various sets.
The last time he went back to China, he bought a batch of tools, as well as professional trap parts, thick steel wire, nylon wire... and other standard trap accessories, specifically for small animals.
In addition to the previous hares, there are many kinds of sets that use tree branches to bend as a driving force, and there are also vertically upward sleeves that borrow tree branches as power.
Watching "China-Li" work quickly and get eight sets in minutes, the black uncles were stunned, only to find that Li Wei is definitely a master and a professional hunter!
"Oh~China-Li, you really know how to hunt?"
"Of course, I'll be ten years old!"
"I'm sorry, I thought... You're here to play. ”
Hamadi smiled and scratched his head, embarrassed to say, Li Wei nodded affirmatively, he was here to play, hunting can only be regarded as entertainment, just leisure.
In the future, the tribe should also develop the breeding industry, not rely on hunting to make a living, at most catch breeders, breed artificial free-range Bitley chickens, and sell them to the international market!
Farming technology, large-scale breeding, and furniture promotion are the projects that Li Wei supports the tribe. Of course, they themselves will also make money from it, and the furniture profit is not small!
In this regard, Hamadi they agree very much, it is difficult to make a living by hunting, and can only subsidize the living, and who is willing to hunt when the farming and breeding project starts in the future?
In the vegetable market in Somalia, wild animals and domestic animals are exactly the same, unlike China, where a hare can even be bought for 200 yuan!
Li Wei's fancy is to raise pheasants, hares, antelopes, wild deer and camels, and export them to the Chinese market, which will definitely make a lot of money and become a long-term project.
There are many hares in the Gobi, there are more Bitli chickens in the bushes and jungles, antelopes and wild deer also have them, and the tribal villagers are very willing to catch them, as long as there is money to be made.
Soon, the trap was set up and moving on.
After a certain distance, the next batch of sets, a total of about 200 or so, was exhausted, and Hamadi suggested stopping to find a place to rest and return in the afternoon.
Now at eleven o'clock in the morning, the sun is high, these covers have to wait for the afternoon, about three o'clock, five hours to take the first time is more appropriate, tomorrow morning to pick up.
"China-Li, how about going to the foot of the mountain to rest?"
"Very good, let's go check it out and prepare lunch!"
"Lunch is very simple, just get a few chickens. ”
It's just a trap, it's not hunting, Li Wei still wants to play with guns! Bring the AK--47, but it turns out that it is useless except for being embarrassed...
This is really a sad memory! The system will definitely laugh at itself in the future, and take the AK-47 to hunt, it is unbelievable, and it is funny that there is no help.
The bush is deep, and at a distance of five kilometers, there is a large mountain range, partly red sandstone, partly basalt stony, with thick soil cover.
At the foot of the mountain, there are many water sources, the vegetation is also very rich, and there are many small animals.
"Bang~" A gunshot rang out, and a black uncle shot and killed a pheasant, thirty meters away, this marksmanship is quite good! Of course, Li Wei can do it.
However, is it interesting to hunt pheasants and hares?
