Sixty-eight Tracing
With the rich experience of Jason and Grace, two excellent hunters, and the dogs' excellent sense of smell, more clues were soon found.
"Look, it's bear fur," Jason said, pointing to a tree trunk with friction marks, and then walked over and took off the bear fur to observe.
"Looks like we're in the territory of a black bear," Jason said, handing the fur to Carrick.
"It seems that we were really lucky to find a black bear on the first day." Su Zhen said.
Jason then sniffed the dogs for their fur and then had the six dogs split up to look for clues.
Soon, there was a new clue "This is the black bear's feces, it looks like it was left a day ago" Grace directly picked up the bear feces with her hands, and actually came to the nose and sniffed it, although the other party was wearing gloves, but it still saw that Su Zhen was a little disgusted, I didn't expect that the girl who is usually very quiet and can get seasick actually has such a strong time.
"Keep chasing, look in this direction, I should go to the river ahead, it's salmon season, and it's also the last chance for all kinds of bears to replenish fat, and if we're lucky, we can find more than one bear," Jason said.
"Isn't salmon tracing supposed to be in July?" Grace heard this?
"Most of the salmon migrate in July, but there are some stocks that only return in the autumn and are also known as autumn salmon," he explained.
"That's a good thing, the salmon trail usually the bears will concentrate on stoppage time, and if we're lucky, we'll be able to finish the hunt in a few days," Carrick couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
"It's a rare opportunity, let's hurry up, it's tens of kilometers, and if it's fast, we'll be there in the evening," Jason concluded.
A few people nodded, and once again embarked on the road of the long journey, you must know that Su Zhen had never tried to walk such a long way in his previous life, I believe that if it were not for long-term exercise and space water to improve his physique, Su Zhen believed that he would have already fallen down, but even so, he still felt very tired, after all, the fact that he was only twelve years old now could not be changed, although his strength and explosion were no less than adults, and even surpassed some adults, but obviously slightly inferior in physical strength, Although the other three were also slightly tired, they were not as serious as Su Zhen.
Fortunately, Su Zhen still persevered, and before evening, several people finally arrived at the river beach.
"Look," Jason pointed to a small waterfall not far upstream.
Good guys, there are three brown bears, two black bears, and several guys are clearly demarcating an area for each other. Three brown bears are being feasted on two males, one is a female bear with two cubs, and both black bears are males.
"Luckily, we listened to Jason's advice and went downstream, otherwise it would have been a problem if we were upwind." Carrick said with palpitations.
When he was about to reach the river before, Jason strongly asked everyone to take a detour to the downstream, Su Zhen was still a little puzzled when he came out, but now of course he knows what is going on, so he nodded approvingly, don't look at Xiong Hanhan, he is not a good stubble, and it is really fatal for that paw to slap on people.
"Do you want to fight now?" Su Zhen was a little eager to try.
"Not now, although most bears don't socialize with each other, no one can be sure if the other bears will be ferocious after we kill one of them, and it's getting late now, so it's important for us to find a camp first," Jason said, and Grace and Carrick nodded in agreement.
Su Zhen had to look at the bears with regret.
"Don't worry, the autumn salmon have been going back for many days, these bears will definitely not leave, we have time," Grace advised.
So the group began to prepare for camp. Later, Jason found a sheltered place under a small slope as a campsite, because it was in a dangerous wilderness, so only two tents were set up, one for Su Zhentian and one for Grace. Don't think about it, although you sleep in one room, you have a sleeping bag, and nothing can happen.
Once you've set up your tent, it's time to prepare a campfire and dinner, which not only cooks food, but also keeps people warm and deters wild animals.
As for dinner, it's simple, a few people didn't use the food they brought, you know, the river is full of salmon now, it's a pity not to eat, I don't know what kind of fish is salmon? Salmon always knows the way, right?
With Jason's guide and the help of the two Kyle brothers, they quickly got a dozen fish, and the dogs caught fish directly in the river and feasted on the riverbank.
After processing the caught salmon, the resulting roe alone fills a large plate, which is extremely delicious, although it is not as good as sturgeon roe, but it is better than freshness, isn't it? The meaty part is made into sashimi, and the rest is stewed in one pot.
Su Zhen took a spoon and scooped a spoonful of caviar directly into his mouth, and slowly squeezed the plump caviar with the tip of his tongue, and the faint fresh smell spread in his mouth, which was simply a beautiful enjoyment.
In this way, the four of them enjoyed salmon soup, sashimi and roe, and enjoyed it very much.
The night in Alaska is quiet, but occasionally there will be a few roars of wild beasts in the distance, this is not the United States, there are really wolves here, authentic North American wild wolves, they are the real overlords of this land, even if the brown bear, the overlord of the soil, encounters more than double digits of wolves, it has to retreat.
However, there are 6 Alaska and 2 Caucasian vigils, and a few people are not worried, and in fact, in addition to Su Zhen and Carrick who brought a heavy sniper, Jason and Grace who brought ordinary shotguns, Carrick also brought an M16, unless there are hundreds of wolves, how can you not be afraid at all, as for the hundreds of wolves? Hehe, you've read too many novels, except for Siberia, it is estimated that there are more than 100 wolves in the whole world. However, it was the little coyote Misha, who ran away from the road when a few people were preparing to camp, which made Grace a little worried.
Early the next morning, Su Zhen got up and saw that Grace on the side was no longer there, Su Zhen put on his coat and walked out, and found Jason and Grace preparing breakfast.
"Where's Carrick?" Su Zhen asked. "I haven't gotten up yet" This is Su Zhen's return.
Su Zhen shrugged his shoulders and swept around, there was nothing special, so Su Zhen called Ah Da and prepared to go to the river to wash up.
When Su Zhen returned to the camp, Carrick had already gotten up, and in addition to the fish, there were some berries that Jason found nearby, and it was just while eating breakfast that the little coyote returned.
"Hey, Misha, where have you been" Grace stepped forward and squatted down and touched Misha's head, of course Misha wouldn't answer, just rubbed Grace with a whine.
After breakfast, the group began to prepare for the hunt, and instead of taking back their tents, they prepared to use this place as a permanent camp for the next few days.
In this way, they went to the fishing place where the bears fished yesterday, but found that it was much more lively than yesterday afternoon
