Chu Jiaqiang found a place where hares often appear, this kind of place is not difficult to find, and people who often go out with the fifth uncle can generally find the right place.
The slope is gentle, and there is lush grass here, and it is not high. If you look at the dirt here, it's not as hard as the mountains just now, and the creek is not far away. Such a place is basically infested with hares.
First, the rabbit is clever, it will usually find a higher place to dig a hole, so that it can observe the enemy. Second, food should be plentiful and water sources should be relatively close. Thirdly, the slope of the place should not be too large, otherwise it would be inconvenient for them to retreat.
"This kind of place can catch hares?" At this time, some people looked around the environment, and did not find obvious traces of hare infestment, but they didn't know the point, how to find this kind of place.
Chu Jiaxiong nodded and helped Chu Jiaqiang answer: "Hmm! Of course! There are basically hares in this kind of place, just look for a hole in the soil. ”
This afternoon, everyone is not going to have enough food and clothing. They followed Chu Jiaqiang and learned a little bit of wild hunting skills. Of course, there are also many people who still go out in groups and enjoy themselves by themselves, which is rare to come once.
In fact, with tigers and snow sculptures, they don't have to worry about having nothing to eat in the evening. Moreover, when it was close to dusk, everyone was not prepared to eat very full, and they could eat it after they went back.
After listening to Chu Jiaxiong's words, everyone swept their eyes to these meadows. No rabbit holes were found.
"Some rabbit holes are not so easy to find, and simply looking for rabbit holes is not very realistic, you have to be able to tell whether it is a rabbit hole, whether it is a new hole or an old hole, etc., it is very troublesome. In addition, there is also the road to find rabbits, rabbits generally follow the old road, and rarely take the road they have not walked. At last. You can also look at wild grasses, if there are more rabbit grasses, then the frequency of rabbits will be much greater. Chu Jiaqiang explained.
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already cleared a clump of grass. A rabbit hole appeared in front of everyone's eyes. At the same time, Chu Jiaqiang also pointed out several kinds of wild grasses that hares like very much for everyone to know.
In the past, the fifth uncle also taught Chu Jiaqiang and others to ambush hares, and the best time was actually dawn and dusk. And the place of ambush, three are often chosen. The first is on the main path of the hare's activity; The second choice is in the place where rabbits often go to forage; The third choice is in the water source where rabbits often go to drink, especially in the dry season, if the water source range is not large, the effect is the best.
"In the north, it's easy to find rabbit tracks. Especially when it's snowing. As long as the animals are moving in the snow, they can follow the tracks to find them. In the south, it is not easy to find hares. Xu Hao said.
Even in the snow, sometimes the inexperienced can be beaten by a shrewd hare.
When the hare is hiding in wait. In order to hide its footprints, it often jumps high or sideways, and walks out of many circles or double tracks; Or run back and forth on its trail several times, forming a trail of children's footprints back and forth. Then he gently walked towards the hiding place without leaving a trace; Or jump to the side to form a broken trace, hide in place, or walk on the grass with little or no snow for a while, hide its traces, so that the searcher falls into a state of hesitation for a while.
"Not necessarily, there are quite a few rabbit roads here." Chu Jiaxiong said. His biological research is definitely not as good as Xu Hao's
One in a thousand, but I still know a lot about the habits of these common animals.
"Oh? How did you find it? Say it, and everyone will see it. At this time, the tourists demanded one after another. They feel in their hearts that these rural people are really amazing sometimes, and they can count some things that they feel intangible.
"Huh! If you look around you carefully, you can find out. Chu Jiaqiang smiled.
Chu Jiaxiong pointed out a few traces on the ground without grass in several places: "When rabbits walk, they all step backwards and pedal hard, and it is easy to kick out their footprints. You see, these are rabbit footprints, and this one is still new. ”
Everyone looked carefully and suddenly realized. It seems that it is not as mysterious as I imagined, but I am not careful enough.
This is the way the world is sometimes. Before it is exposed, there will be a sense of mystery in people's hearts, and it will feel incredible. But after it was really exposed, I found out that it was actually just a very ordinary truth.
This time, the monkey didn't dare to reach in casually. Last time, he was bitten by a snake, and the guy was wary of these little dirt holes.
"How do you know this is the rabbit hole? Is there a rabbit in it? Someone asked.
"There is a rabbit road, which is naturally a rabbit hole!" Someone on the side immediately said.
"Not necessarily, it could be a rat hole, or a snake hole. Speaking of which, rabbits are actually not very dependent on burrows, unlike rats that have to dig burrows. We have to look at the structure of the hole, and the animal droppings. Chu Jiaqiang analyzed them one by one.
It's not the time for the hares to go out, so if you're sure it's a rabbit hole, or it's new, there's basically rabbits hiding in there.
"What now? Hole digging or smoking? "There was a person who participated in the rat extermination operation in Chujiazhai last time, and the most violent thing was digging a hole. Although this method is very destructive, it is the gentlest method for rats. If you change it to flooding and smoking, that's going to be fatal.
"Isn't it possible to set up? Those methods seem cruel! "Someone just said it. He had heard others say before that these animals could basically be trapped, and they could catch their prey without harming them.
"Not right now, unless you're going to spend the night here, or you're going to get it tomorrow. And don't think it's cruel. If you tie the rabbit to the neck, the rabbit will not turn back, it will just kick forward. In this case, it will only tighten the bolt more and more, and finally be strangled to death. Chu Jiaqiang said to them.
Chu Jiaqiang had done it before, and he also set traps, put iron cages, clips, etc. The lasso should be set on the main path of the rabbit and the running path of the rabbit in the forest, and must be selected in the place where the hare runs. When setting the set, you can not step on the trail of the rabbit, but walk on the side of the rabbit path, and the lasso is vertically supported with the rabbit path. These are quite particular.
"It's just that, sometimes, even if the rabbit is tricked, it doesn't necessarily have your share. If you don't take it in time, you might get some birds and beasts in the mountains. Chu Jiaxiong also spoke.
This kind of thing has happened before, obviously caught the prey, but I don't know what animal ate it. Sometimes I deliberately leave a leg or something like that, disgusting you.
According to Chu Jiaqiang's method, everyone quickly caught the pair of rabbits hidden inside easily, and did not hurt the rabbits. Wild rabbits are very smart, tourists are easy to like, three or two to divide them. Listening to their tone, they are going to take it back, as for whether they can feed it, Chu Jiaqiang doesn't dare to say it.
