Volume 1 Building the City Chapter 81 The First Hunt (2) (Proofreading)

Hunting rabbits with lassoes, as long as the hare drills the sleeve, it will be strangled to death. As long as the hunter is diligent in checking and collecting, he will not be stolen by other birds and beasts, otherwise he will make wedding clothes for others.

In order to be on the safe side, to increase the chance of catching rabbits, you can also use the clamp trap to hunt rabbits, but now there is no such trap as the rat trap in later generations, Wang Tian still uses the rope trap method.

Different from catching with clips, Wang Tian took out a bundle of rope this time, picked up some thick wooden sticks and rattans, and made a pocket that could only be entered but not exited by weaving.

Once the bunny gets into it and touches the trap, as long as the teeth of the primitive rabbits cut through the sticks as fast as they cut the straw ropes, they should be able to catch live rabbits today.

Because the main goal this time was to catch live pheasants and hares, Wang Tian went up and down a lot of these traps along the way.

This kind of sleeve needs to be located in the place where the rabbit walks slowly, and can also be located in the rabbit's foraging ground, and when the lasso does not work, the use of the clamp will work well. In this way, the hunter must not tread on the trail either.

For this reason, before setting up the set, Wang Tian specially instructed everyone to be careful not to step on the traces, but after a while, he found that he was thinking too much.

50 meters in front of him, there was a flock of pheasants pacing leisurely, clearly seeing everyone, but still strolling leisurely.

In the eyes of this group of pheasants, the group of two-legged beasts in front of them did not pose any threat to them. Running in the jungle is not as fast as itself, and its movements are not as agile as they are, and humans are not afraid to stand in front of them, let alone care about the slightest smell.

Once they sense the danger, they kick their feet into the bushes, or flapp their wings a few times and fly away, although the pheasants are not very good at flying, but there is nothing humans can do with them in the jungle.

When the tribesmen saw the chickens, they all took off the bows and arrows they were carrying excitedly, and prepared to shoot arrows with bows.

Wang Tian stopped them in time, and signaled everyone to stop advancing, and slowly retreated, don't alarm the pheasant flock, brother wants to live, don't give me a whole death, practice and wait for the next wave.

Looking at the group of Gallic chickens in front of him who despise everyone and are proud, Wang Tian smiled, chickens, chickens, your concepts have fallen behind, I, Wang Tian, will obediently go back to the tribe with me to lay eggs and hatch chickens.

There are many varieties of pheasants: wild pheasant, colorful pheasant, chaise grande, guinea fowl, red-bellied pheasant, partridge, quail... All belong to the scope of pheasants.

The pheasants in front of them are not good-looking, like the wild pheasants of later generations and a bit like colorful pheasants, but the feathers of the colorful pheasants are more colorful, which may also be the reason why there are relatively many females.

I carefully observed the terrain near the pheasant flock, and the place where I am now located is a mountain stream between two mountains, and the mountains on both sides are steep.

This is really God helping me, Wang Tian felt a burst of secret joy in his heart.

He asked the people to take out the fishing nets at their own ends, lay them according to the trend of the mountain, or hang them between two trees, or lay them flat on the bushes, in short, to make a large arc-shaped net, which took on the form of a semi-circle and a semi-encirclement.

Then arrange 10 people, squatting and hiding behind the bushes, when everyone drives the pheasant to this side, before the pheasant touches the net, do not show the figure, otherwise the pheasant will change direction when he sees it.

When the pheasant is chased and turns into the net, cut the straw rope and lift the net cover to the pheasant flock.

If these nets had been made of slender and sturdy nylon ropes in later generations, this step would have been spared, and it would have been difficult for panicked pheasants to break free once they were entangled in the nets.

But nowadays, these nets are all the thickness standards for catching wild boars, and the pheasant flocks must be covered by manpower.

After explaining this clearly, Wang Tian signaled the leader boss and the second brother to lead 10 people each to outflank them from the left and right.

He led the remaining 5 people to make a detour to the mountain stream behind the pheasant, and the three people formed a semi-encircled situation.

Everyone held spears in one hand and picked up some branches with the other, and the three pullers slowly closed the encirclement, and after completing the encirclement, they slowly pressed towards the pheasant flock.

When the crowd was less than 40 meters away from the pheasants, the flock finally began to riot, and all the people shouted and drove the pheasants in the direction of the nets.

In this process, Wang Tian reminded everyone that it is absolutely forbidden to shoot arrows with bows and arrows, and now there are his own people on all sides, and it is easy to be injured by mistake.

The book is complicated, in fact, the whole process is also a matter of Wang Tian's several gestures, primitive people are all natural hunters, and it is not difficult to understand Wang Tian's intentions.

After the commotion of the pheasants, the three parties in the encirclement also stepped up their drive, and the pheasants fled as they had planned to the side where the nets had been laid and there was no movement.

The frightened flock of pheasants plunged headlong into the fishing nets, fluttering in the sky, blocked by the nets hanging from the trees, and burrowing into the grass and stopped by the nets spread on the bushes.

After Wang Tian observed that the pheasants had all entered the range of the fishing nets, he hurriedly sent a signal for everyone to close the nets.

The 10 squatting guards who had received the order immediately appeared to cut the ropes of the fishing nets and covered the pheasants all over the world.

Behind the chicken feathers on the ground, under the fishing nets that were spread on the ground, pheasants were still fluttering.

Wang Tian motioned for those brightly colored ones to be left behind, and after leaving three or five of them, all the others were killed, and as for those earth-gray females, none of them were allowed to be harmed, and all of them were caught alive.

The people of the tribe rushed up. The method of killing chickens is a bit cruel: the second brother of King Kong, the gorilla, grabbed the chicken's neck and twisted wildly. After death, the chicken is clamped under the wings by the neck, removed from the net and thrown into the back basket behind it.

The leader is much simpler, and after distinguishing the rooster and hen, the big foot girl stepped on it, and even stepped on the directly. As for those lone roosters, they will be killed directly with a stick.

"Everyone, be lighter, don't slaughter all the roosters, leave 5 big ones."

Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Wang Tian wanted to remind everyone to see the male and female clearly, but don't slaughter the hens.

In the end, I thought about it, and made a preliminary estimate, this time there will be at least forty or fifty harvests in the encirclement, and if you kill it by mistake, you will kill it by mistake.

Pheasants also have a strong sense of territory. With so many pheasants in one place, it seems that this is still a big family, but it was served by Wang Tianlian almost instantly.

In the case of pheasants, if there were people of different ethnic groups in the same area, the original landlords would desperately come out and drive them out.

Later hunters took advantage of this characteristic and used one or two domesticated pheasants as live bait in advance and released them on the territory of a pheasant flock.

Then some rope nooses or traps are laid around the domesticated pheasants, and when the landlord pheasants of this land rush over to drive away these domesticated pheasants, they will step on the rope nooses or traps and be caught and captured.

This method may also be tried in the future, as it requires a large number of people and may not be used for every hunt.

Catching pheasants can also be under a special pheasant set, the pheasant set is a rope sleeve tied into 30 cm with a thin rope, tied with five locks, generally in the wild grass or grass grove.

Carefully check out the pheasant walkway, where the pheasant often walks the grass is poured, pay attention not to step on the grass, nail the wooden peg to fix the tendons.

Tie a thin line at the end of the circle to make a 12 cm set, hang it on the pheasant road or the road that must be passed, about 12 cm from the ground, try to be narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, as long as there is a pheasant through the harvest!

The advantage of this kind of trap is that it does not need to be supervised, and once the pheasant is hanged, as long as it is not cheap to eat other carnivorous things, it can be taken directly.

While Wang Tian was thinking about this, everyone in the tribe had already cleaned up the results of the battle, and a total of 45 large and small pheasants were captured, including 15 roosters, and 9 were killed.

"Haha!" 30 hens were obtained at once, and even if only half of the chickens laid eggs, 15 eggs were harvested every day.

It seems that there is egg drop soup to drink, thinking about the deliciousness of egg drop soup, Wang Tian only feels that the saliva at the corners of his mouth is secreted faster.
