A team of nearly 100 people and dozens of hunting dogs set off in a majestic manner, and almost all of them were sturdy men from all over Xiaowangzhuang, ranging from their twenties to their fifties. At the request of Wang Yunhai and several other experienced old hunters, the group watched their hunting dogs to prevent them from making noises, and every ten people were formed into a group, and when they arrived near the wild boar forest, they began to lay nets and install animal traps from different directions.

It took about two hours to walk from the birch forest to the wild boar forest, and because it was to enter from the northeast, it was necessary to walk a little more mountain road, and at about eleven o'clock in the afternoon, the hunting team finally arrived at an oak forest less than two miles from the wild boar forest.

Along the way, under the explanation of his grandfather and several other old hunters, Zhou Yu also understood some of the habits and characteristics of wild boars.

Wild boars are omnivorous animals with a well-developed intelligence and can rank among the top few on the planet, so even the most experienced hunters will have a hard time trying to catch them. Large wild boars can weigh more than 100 kilograms, have a large body, have infinite strength, usually do not come out to walk around during the day, and generally forage in the morning and at dusk. If you want to put a herd of wild boars in a nest, the best time to do it is to do it while they are sleeping in the middle of the day.

They eat not only young grasses, grass stems, reeds, horsetail rhizomes, leaves, berries, nuts, but also bird eggs, insects, worms, rodents, locusts, rotten fish, and carcasses. It loves to eat snakes the most, and is not afraid of poisonous snakes, and wherever wild boars often move, snakes are completely extinguished.

Wild boars are very destructive, because wild boars like to arch over the grassland, whether in the mountain meadows or plain oases, often arch the patches of grass in a mess, turn one or twenty centimeters deep, dig plant rhizomes, earthworms, insect larvae to eat. Wild boars are more harmful to farmland, and they love to eat corn, potatoes, oats and other crops, often causing great losses to nearby mountain people.

Whether in mountain forests or oasis swamps, wild boars often move in groups, sometimes up to a dozen, but in this part of the northeast, there are often large herds of dozens of them, mostly a sow with a group of piglets, or boars moving alone. Wild boars in the mountain forests like to lie on the edge of the puddle to bask in the sun, often stick to the pine resin when rubbing the itch on the pine trunk, and stick to the clay on the mountain, repeat many times, often make the old pig "wear" on the "armor", difficult to penetrate.

The fangs of the boar's mouth are sharp, the mane and skin are coated with coagulated pine resin, and shotgun bullets are not easy to fire. Therefore, when catching wild boars, it is always necessary to dispatch several teams of men and horses to hunt separately. Hunting dogs are used to locate wild boars, and wild boars are driven out of the dense forest, and then hunted with shotguns, machetes, and hunting nets.

When hunting wild boars, it is most taboo to encounter the old boar, the old boar has a pair of intimidating fangs, which is very lethal, and the whole body is covered with a thick layer of hard armor, even ordinary tigers, leopards, etc. do not dare to collide with it. But male boars generally like to live alone, and I hope everyone is lucky not to meet the old boar this time.

Of course, it does not mean that other wild boars other than the old boar are easy to provoke, although the general wild boar is afraid of humans, and will stay away when they see humans, but once injured, the wild boar will become particularly ferocious, and will take the initiative to attack, by charging, and hurting people with their fangs. According to the grandfather and several old men, there were several wild boar hunts in the mountains before, and when the frightened scene of the injured wild boar frantically attacking the hunter was mentioned, several old people still had palpitations.

After resting for a while in the oak forest, ten groups of mountain people slowly approached the wild boar forest in a fan shape, first laying more than thirty large nets on the periphery, and then laying some animal trapping racks in the sparse parts of the woods, and then making marks.

After doing this, two groups of people made a detour through the wild boar forest, came to the southwest of the forest, and placed all the large nets and animal clips they were carrying there, so that the wild boar forest was basically surrounded by large nets and animal clips.

Seeing that these men in Xiaowangzhuang had set up many traps and encirclements under the command of several old men, Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly: It is said that wild boars have high intelligence and are much smarter than ordinary animals, but how can they fight humans?

How nice do you think it would be for these guys to bask in the sun and sleep in the mountains when they are not in trouble? Of course, when you are idle, you can also enjoy the happy life of sex, and give birth to a few more little wild boars or something. You shouldn't have run down the mountain to trouble the crops, you said that if you don't let people live, people will let you live? The result of greed is the demise of the population.

At this time, everyone has entered the wild boar forest, this is an old forest with a mixture of pine and oak trees, are some dozens of hundreds of years old trees, lush branches, ancient trees towering, because the light is almost blocked by dense branches and leaves, the forest seems a little dark, a small stream about four meters wide slowly flows down the slope, but I don't know what the stream is a little turbid, and there are some weeds and tree roots floating on it.

At this time, Wang Yunhai, who took the lead, whispered to the people behind him: "Don't go forward, don't you see what this stream looks like?" Not far further is estimated to be the habitat of the wild boar herd, now everyone listen to my orders, Zhijiang and Zhishan your group almost all use shotguns, you continue to walk, until you find the wild boar, you will climb the tree slowly, see the hound scattered the wild boar herd you shoot, remember to try to kill, the first injured can be hit, rather cut off one finger than hurt its ten fingers, the rest of the uninjured are too busy to let go of the people left behind to fight. If I am injured and don't die, I'm afraid that the people behind me won't be able to hold it.

Dazhu, you and Erzi took the people of your group to follow your brother Zhijiang and them, and after they all went up the tree, you climbed the tree about thirty or forty meters away from them, because most of the bows and arrows used by your two groups are bows and arrows, although this thing is not as powerful as a shotgun, but if it is shot accurately, it can also knock down a few wild boars, and the rest are all knives, so you start to arrange hunting nets and beast traps from here, especially the creek is full of beast traps for me, I estimate that most of the frightened wild boars will escape from this stream, and after the hunting nets and traps are set up, you will hide in the trees, and if you see a lone or seriously injured wild boar, you will have to come out in a small team of at least five people to kill the wild boars.

As for the wild boars that run out of here, don't chase them anymore, we still have hunting nets and traps around us, if they can still live in that way, then they will die, God will not let them die, we will let it go. But I don't think there will be too many wild boars that run away if everyone guards their stalls.

But there is one thing that everyone must remember that you are all the pillars of the family, safety first, and you must not be injured in order to kill wild boars, in that case the gains outweigh the losses.

Dozens of people nodded, and then carried out their own work one after another.

Seeing that his uncle continued to walk forward with more than 20 people, Zhou Yu dragged the super spear of nearly two zhang and followed closely behind, his face turned red because of excitement. It's about to face actual combat, and I haven't seen a wild boar caught up with it for the first time, so can I not be excited to catch up with such a large-scale operation for the first time?

Who knew that when Zhou Yu's blood was boiling and passionate, he was grabbed by his grandfather behind him, "Xiaoyu, you can't go any further, you can just find a tree here to climb and watch the excitement, and it will be dangerous to go any further." ”

Grandpa's words Zhou Yu didn't dare not listen, so he couldn't find a pine tree with a good line of sight nearby and climbed up, found a more comfortable branch to sit on, and the big gun was obliquely placed on the branch. The fourth and fifth uncles also climbed up and sat next to Zhou Yu. After seeing that his grandson was settled, his grandfather and dozens of people from several other groups also climbed the nearby big tree, their eyes staring ahead.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, it is estimated that several groups of people and horses in front of them have climbed the big tree to hide, and grandpa gave an order, and several mountain people who were responsible for guarding the hunting dogs below yelled at the hunting dogs a few times, and dozens of hunting dogs ran happily towards the wild boar forest.

It didn't take a few minutes for the forest to remember the barking of dogs and the snorting of wild boars, which were extremely terrible, and then the sound of a shotgun was heard......

Zhou Yu felt that his palms were full of sweat at this time, and he said to the fourth and fifth uncles beside him a little nervously: "Two uncles, listening to this voice, it should be hit in front of you, I don't know what the effect of the road is?" I don't know if I can escape a few of them to come to us, so that I can enjoy it. ”

The two mountain men shook their heads with a wry smile, and the fourth uncle said, "Nephew, you are so easy to fight as a wild boar in the mountains?" Your grandfather and they estimate that there must be twenty or thirty wild boars in this group, and it would be good for your uncle to put down half of them in the first wave, you kid can rest assured, there must be at least four or five wild boars running here, and it is possible that there are more than a dozen if we have the idea to memorize. Of course, if we carry the idea home, if we meet two male boars who happen to be here too, then we will have a lot of fun. ”

Zhou Yu listened with sweat all over his head, but he didn't expect that this fourth uncle was still a pessimist, either "if" or "if", but I hope he is not a crow's mouth, otherwise things will really make a big fuss.
