Sixty-nine The first prey
"One, two, three, four...... Twelve, oh my God, there are twelve of them, all of them are brown bears," Su Zhen sighed softly.
"It's a rare opportunity for them to quickly replenish fat before hibernation, and this river is a must-go for salmon, and these big guys will definitely not let go of this opportunity." Jason said. "It's still early, and I guess there will be more bears coming here later."
"So what do we do," Carrick asked, "it's obviously impossible for us to do anything here."
"Let's pick a target, and then we'll just follow it when it's finished," Grace suggested. "There are so many bears here, we have to act collectively"
"Look, it's time to fight" Just as a few people were discussing the next move, a huge bear roar came from the small waterfall, and Su Zhen found that the two bears obviously showed signs of fighting.
"It's just two bears snatching the fishing spot," Jason said, "they won't really fight, they know very well the attack power of their own kind, and if they really fight, even if they win, the price is unacceptable, so after comparing the strength of the other side, the weaker one will retreat on its own." ”
Sure enough, as soon as Jason finished speaking, the smaller of the two bears who roared retreated, and found another fishing spot, and the two sides did not even have direct physical contact, which made Su Zhen, who wanted to see the big battle, a little regretful.
"Then I'll want it," Su Zhen said, pointing to the victorious male bear, "If we shoot from a distance with a sniper rifle, the bear won't be able to spot it, right?" Why do you have to wait for them to finish eating? ”
"With a heavy sniper, the bear won't notice, but again, the prey you hit will become a feast for its companions," Grace said with a smile.
"They'll eat their own kind?" Su Zhen was a little puzzled.
"During the mating season, the male bear will kill the cubs of the female bear, forcing the female bear to re-estrus, so as to get the opportunity to mate with the female bear, as for the corpse, the male bear generally will not be wasted, the reason why people think that bears will not eat their own kind is because it is basically impossible for a bear to kill another bear, even if a weak adult male bear, it is not weaker than the existence of a tiger and leopard, and if you want to kill each other, you will also pay a heavy price, which is inconsistent with the laws of nature's survival, but the body of a giant bear is placed in front of their kind, They don't mind helping them through the winter," Jason explains.
yes, because it's also powerful, so it won't kill each other, but what about one side that died in the first place?
"Then let's talk to Sue about the bear today, I took a look, this one should be the biggest one in this," Kalek said.
The others nodded, and agreed to take turns watching, one shift per hour, while the others rested to ensure that they had enough energy.
"Quick, the bear is leaving." Carrick, who was on the second shift, alerted the other three.
Su Zhen and Kyle and Al pointed to the bear that turned away, and then let the two guys go up to the sky, so that they were not afraid of losing it.
People in this kind of mountain forest are far less flexible than bears, not to mention that for safety, a few people must avoid other bears, so a few people can only hang far away, but can not catch up, fortunately, there are two eagles in the sky staring, but not afraid of losing, dogs will not work, if only on the ground is fine, but Alaska this bird place stream mountain stream can be very much, this way down a few people have passed through the small stream for three days.
"Damn, this bear can really run, how far has this run?" Su Zhen scolded a little panting, after chasing for two hours, several people were really tired enough to choke and had to rest for a while, this is different from yesterday's simple rush, at least there was still a road yesterday, but most of the places where this damn bear walked there was no road at all, and a few people who were tired were enough.
"Alaska is too wide, so the territory of a bear is also very wide, not to mention that this guy has crossed the territory of several bears in order to eat salmon," Carrick also gasped.
"That's right, it's good that you brought the two eagles, otherwise we would probably lose them, and this situation is not very conducive to the dog's performance," Jason said, looking at the two eagles soaring in the sky in the distance with a little envy.
"Now I know what Lu Dao is for, before you said that it would take half a month, bad luck, just looking for a bear will have to look for a long time, plus tracking, half a month may not be able to harvest" Su Zhen sighed, he always thought that hunting was a very simple thing, but he didn't expect it to be such a troublesome thing.
"Ha Luha, that's no way, if you have the opportunity to go hunting in Africa in the future, it's relatively easier, it's all savannah, you can just drive a car, it's much easier," Carrick laughed.
"It's not early, it's noon now, eat something now, if you can't catch up in the afternoon, you can only go back to the camp first, otherwise it will be dangerous at night." Jason said as he opened the package on his body, took out some cans, opened them and handed them to a few people.
"This can is really not good" Su Zhen scooped a mouthful of the can and stuffed it into his mouth and shook his head.
"That's the way it is in the field, after all, we're not here to camp, let's make do with it" Carrick frowned and ate the can in his hand, "You haven't tasted the field rations of the American soldiers, that's what is called unpalatable." ”
"Will it? I've also bought individual rations from the U.S. Army and tasted it, and the taste is okay" Su Zhen asked when he heard this, he had bought that thing on Taobao in his previous life, and the taste was so-so.
"What is bought on the market and what is issued in the army are two different things, what is sold on the market is to make money, and the taste is naturally not too bad, and if you really want to equip the US military with the kind of individual rations sold in the market, the US military's military expenditure is estimated to rise by one level," Carrick said.
This is the first time Su Zhen has heard that he thought that what was sold in the market was the same as that supplied by the army, but he didn't expect that there would be such an insider.
After eating, several people continued to move in the direction of the two eagles in the distant sky, where their hunting targets were located.
"Look, I'm finally catching up," Jason said, pointing to a moving brown object in the distance.
After several hours of long-distance tracking, Su Zhen and the four finally caught up with the large brown bear at the edge of the jungle.
"If you use a sniper rifle, this is a good position, about 800 meters away, it is easy to hit, you come?" Carrick said to Su Zhen.
"Of course, this is the prey that I am optimistic about" Su Zhen replied with a little excitement, good guy, I finally found you.
Su Zhen took off the Bartley behind him, set it up on the ground, and after adjusting the gun, he began to aim "Wow, beautiful big guy, you're mine"
I only heard a bang, and it hit smoothly, the distance of 800 meters is quite close for a high-powered sniper rifle, and it is still very easy to hit such a big target as a brown bear, the difference is just what part was hit, but obviously Su Zhen should have hit the vital point, and the brown bear did not get up after it fell.
After seeing the brown bear fall to the ground, the two eagles flew down from the sky, but they only landed nearby and did not use it to step forward directly.
"Oh my God, this guy is at least 800 pounds (about 400 kilograms), he's a big guy," Jason and Carrick ran first.
At this time, Su Zhen and Grace also walked forward, it turned out that because Su Zhen was sniping at the side of the bear, the bullet happened to hit the bear's side of the head directly, which could be regarded as a one-shot kill.
At this moment, the brown bear's belly was slightly undulating, and it seemed to be panting, but the godless eyes indicated the loss of its life.
Su Zhen suddenly felt a little sad, a few minutes ago, it was still the overlord of this vast area, but just a bullet, it completely seized everything from it, will I have such a day?
"What are you thinking?" Grace patted the stunned Su Zhen.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just a little unbelievable" Su Zhen shook his head and threw away distractions, "How can we bring such a big guy back?" ”
"It's simple, just peel off the skin and take it away, and the rest of the parts only need bear paws and bear bile, and the rest of the parts are cheap for other animals, and the bear meat is not very delicious." Grace said, "But let's take a picture first, it's memorable."
"yes, Sue, let's put a POSS here, I've got a camera," Carrick said. When Su Zhen heard this, he stood next to the corpse of the huge male bear and asked Carrick to take a photo, but he didn't know what he was doing, Su Zhen felt that he was smiling a little reluctantly.
After taking the photo, Jason began to skillfully pick up the bear skin, he opened an opening in the bear's lower abdomen, and then along the fat layer, it was very easy to peel off a complete bear skin, and then took the bear bile, soaked directly into the wine jug, and then used the mountain knife to cut off the four bear paws, the whole process is extremely skillful, it seems that he often does this work, and it took less than twenty minutes to dispose of the bear carcass.
