173: Bear hunting

"The bear is around here, not more than a kilometer."

After examining the surrounding traces, Glass swore and spoke.

Lin Yao held the gun, remained vigilant, and asked without looking back, "What do we do?" ”

"The nose of a bear is very sensitive, no worse than that of a dog. The average dog can smell the owner's scent within 1 to 3 kilometers and actively track the past. Bears are similar, if there is a smell of food within a kilometer, they will be attracted to it, I have prepared a special bait, it is very fragrant for bears, and they will definitely come and see it. ”

Glass opened the kit he was carrying, and there were a lot of bottles and jars inside.

He can hunt carnivores on a regular basis, and for good reason, he carries bait for wolves, foxes, snow leopards, bears, cougars and other carnivores.

This kind of stimulating bait can succeed not only every time, but also five or six times out of ten.

Unless it's windy, rainy or snowy, or when wild animals are full, it's hard to resist the lure of irritating bait.

"How is this done, what did you use, it smells disgusting!"

As soon as the bait appeared, a strange smell wafted in front of me.

Lin Yao looked disgusted as he watched Glass smear a small jar of black, unknown things on the bark, leaves, and even stones.

This unknown thing is like a stinky hoisin sauce, and it smells of blood, and I don't know what it's made of.

"This is my exclusive secret ingredient, and I won't tell you."

Glass's expression was focused, and the rest of the hunting party asked about his recipe, and some were even willing to pay $50 for it, but he refused.

Even his son, Hawke, doesn't know the details of the recipe at the moment.

It's not that he doesn't trust his son, it's that Hawke is too young and afraid that Hawke won't be able to keep the secret.

"Is your bait really effective? If it really works, and it works, we might be able to set up a factory together, a small processing factory that specializes in the production of bait, and there must be people willing to pay for it. "Lin Yao doesn't care about the formula, but the business opportunities that the formula represents.

At this time, Citigroup was not the world hegemon in later generations, with a population of only 50 million, half less than during World War I.

On this stretch of road, especially in the west and north, there is a lot of wildlife.

Coupled with the fact that Citigroup does not ban guns, every middle-class family should be willing to spend a few dollars on two bottles of carnivore bait and go hunting on their days off.

"Let's talk about it."

In the face of Lin Yao's bewitchment, Glass looked very bland.

He didn't think that two little hunters, with some prey bait, could set up a factory and become the boss.

Seeing that Glass was not very interested, Lin Yao did not say any more.

Just keep this in mind, if there is an opportunity in the future, take Glass's recipe and open a prey bait processing factory with a small investment, a low threshold, and a good profit, which may be a good opportunity to earn the first pot of gold.

Of course, at that time, he had to at least have a little name, and he couldn't be as unknown as he is now.

If Mr. Henry, the owner of the camp, had come to discuss the establishment of the factory with Glass, Glass would certainly not have been so perfunctory.

perfunctory him, just because he is a small person, humble and light-hearted.

"Glass, don't get your bait, there's movement!"

Before Glass was finished, Lin Yao saw two bears, one large and one small, on the mountainside behind him.

The two bears, about seven or eight hundred meters away from them, probably smelled the smell of food, and were standing upright looking this way.

"Oh my God!"

Glass hurriedly threw away the canister, picked up the gun, and looked up the mountain with Lin Yao.

Upon view, the two bears were walking down the hill and soon disappeared into a thicket.

"Ambush them, and when they are within twenty meters, I will shoot at the she-bear, and when you see me shooting, you will shoot the little one. Don't be nervous, it doesn't matter if you miss, I'll make up for it. ”

Glass held the Volcano pistol, and another old breech gun was placed at his feet.

Lin Yao held his rifle and half-knelt on the ground.

There was a large tree beside them, and the two of them hid behind it, with the muzzle of the gun pointing in the direction of the mountain.

Roar!!

Soon, with the bush shaking, an adult black bear came out.

It sniffed the scent with its nose and walked unhurriedly towards the bait, leisurely as if it were walking in its own back garden.

Without noticing at all, two uninvited guests named humans had already set their sights on them.

Looking at the black bear licking the bait, Glass shook his head imperceptibly, signaling not to act rashly.

The bear cub hasn't appeared yet, and when the bear is sure it's safe, it will call the bear out, and that's when it's the best time to attack.

One second, three seconds, five seconds...

The bear didn't keep the two of them waiting, it smelled the food, and didn't even wait for its mother's call, so it couldn't wait to come out.

Lin Yao kept shooting motion, and the crosshair was locked on the bear.

Something is not going well, the bear cub is blocked by the adult black bear, and from his point of view, he can't lock the bear's head.

"I can't see its head!"

Lin Yao said to Glass in a very small voice.

In the next second, without waiting for Glass to speak, the black bear seemed to hear the movement here, and stood upright and looked in the direction of Lin Yao and the others.

Roar!!

It's as if you've smelled something unfamiliar, or seen them.

The black bear roared, gave up the food in his mouth, and trotted towards the hiding place of the two.

Bang!!

Glass fired, and at a distance of seventeen or sixteen meters, the volcanic pistol roared, and the huge projectile, propelled by gunpowder, went straight to the black bear's head.

The black bear fell in response, as if it had lost its life.

Little Bear was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know what was wrong with his mother.

Lin Yao was not stunned, they were wilderness hunters, and they ate this bowl of rice.

Aim, shoot!

The bullet whistled out and entered the eye socket of the bear in Lin Yao's sight.

He didn't have to think about it to know that this shot must have destroyed the bear's brain, and the bear was already dead and couldn't die anymore.

"Next time, be careful, bears have three times as much hearing as humans, and what we call whispering sounds like yelling to it."

Glass said as he reloaded his Volcano pistol.

Reloaded, he carried his shotgun on his back and walked towards the black bear with the volcanic pistol.

He walked so slowly that Lin Yao also had to follow slowly, wondering, "What are we being careful of?" ”

"Beware of black bears, black bears are very intelligent beasts and can break traps with stones, my grandfather once told me that he met a bear that pretended to be dead, and it pretended to be killed by a bullet, but it was not actually dead, but waited for the hunter to come by himself."

Glass was only halfway through the road, and when he was still seven or eight meters away from the black bear, he stopped and shot the black bear in the head again.

After this shot, he was sure that the black bear was really dead, and explained to Lin Yao: "Making up a shot will not waste many bullets, but it can reduce the risk, as hunters, our first thought should not be how to hunt animals, but how to protect ourselves." ”

"Alright, you're in charge of guarding, and I'm in charge of skinning the prey."

"We can get a reward of $20 for these two bears, we can keep the bear claws for ourselves, and a necklace made of bear claws is the pursuit of every hunter."

Hunters, you don't just know how to use guns.

A good hunter must be proficient in at least a dozen hunting-related skills, as well as have a wealth of survival experience.

Glass can responsibly say that he can guarantee that he will survive in any field he throws him in.

In modern society, at least at the level of Bei Ye and De Ye, the ability to survive in the wild is not necessarily worse than that of the Indians in the reserve.
