Chapter 409: Into the Mountains to Hunt Wild Boars

Gao Mingcheng's livestock consists of two dogs, a sheep and a dozen chickens.

This sheep was bought at the beginning of spring last year, and it was originally planned to be slaughtered at the end of the year, but at that time the family got a lot of wild boars, so only one sheep was killed, and one sheep was left, and this one has been left until now.

It's just that this sheep's good days are still over, because Gao Mingcheng came back this time and was going to slaughter it.

In two days, it will be the day of Xiao Xuxu's full moon, Gao Mingcheng does not plan to make a big deal, but he also wants to invite relatives and friends who get along well in the county to have a meal to celebrate.

Chickens can lay eggs, but what can sheep do? And the flesh of the little lamb is tender, and the meat of the old goat will not taste good.

So Gao Mingcheng is ready to slaughter the sheep, and when the time comes, braised mutton, lamb bone stewed radish and other dishes can be arranged.

In addition to the sheep, Gao Mingcheng also prepared to go into the mountains to check the situation of the wild boar herd.

Last year, the number of wild boars dropped sharply, but this year there are no natural enemies in the mountains, and he has not gone into the mountains to hunt, and as for the rest of the village, no one has ever gone into the mountains to get wild boars.

The rich and powerful in the village have bird guns, but the quality of the bird guns is not as good as his one, and it is reluctant to fight turtle doves, let alone go into the mountains to hunt wild boars.

Gao Mingcheng led the two dogs all the way into the mountain.

He was not at home, the two dogs were negligent in hunting, and after mixing with some local dogs in the village, the momentum on his body was much weaker.

Back then, Gao Mingcheng led them to track the wild boar herd, and even fought with the black bear, at that time, the black tiger and the elf had the momentum of a newborn calf who was not afraid of the tiger, as long as they followed Gao Mingcheng's side, they dared to open their mouths to bite in the face of the black bear.

The dog fights the human power, and the interpretation is incisive.

Gao Mingcheng is not in the village, which is equivalent to putting knives and guns into the warehouse, and horses in Nanshan. So the combat effectiveness of the black tiger and the elves, that is a plummet.

Now leading the two dogs into the deep mountains, Gao Mingcheng observed that the two dogs were not as excited as before, but a little vigilant.

In spring, summer and autumn, the food in the mountains is abundant, and it is not easy to find a herd of wild boars in the mountains, after all, wild boars do not have a fixed activity area, they will look for food everywhere to eat, and when they are energetic, they will also rampage in the mountains and take a mud bath in the mud.

Therefore, if you want to hunt wild boars, it is best to have a hunting dog, which is good at tracking prey and can help hunters find their prey as quickly as possible, so as not to wander around the mountains for a day.

But in winter, due to the lack of food, there are not many places for wild boars to choose.

If you are familiar with the situation in the mountains, you will be able to know where the wild boars are.

Wild boars are omnivores, and in winter, they mainly eat the rhizomes of acorns and kudzu, and sometimes when they are lucky enough to encounter mice, pheasants and hares, they will feast on them to supplement their nutritional needs.

Gao Mingcheng led the two dogs directly to the sunny slope full of oak trees, because the sunny slope is warm, and there are a large number of acorns under the deciduous layer of the oak forest, so the wild boar likes to move in this environment.

And in order to reduce their own energy consumption, they are not as active as the other three seasons in winter, and they are basically in a state of eating, sleeping, and eating.

When they came to the sunny hillside, Gao Mingcheng had not found any trace of the wild boar, and the two dogs had already smelled the smell of the wild boar and were able to accurately track the wild boar.

The black tiger seemed to have found a little bit of the style of hunting with its master, it barked at Gao Mingcheng and led Gao Mingcheng forward.

The elf followed, his little expression was nervous and excited.

With two dogs leading the way, Gao Mingcheng soon found a herd of wild boars.

This oak forest is relatively large and the terrain is good, so it is occupied by a large family, which has a total of 36 pigs, of which there are 30 piglets less than a year old.

In other words, these thirty piglets were all bred by these six adult pigs.

Wild boars in normal wild conditions breed once a year, generally estrus and breeding during the New Year's Day to the Spring Festival, and give birth in April to June, generally 6-12 litters per litter.

If it is in captivity, then two litters can be born per year, and each litter is 5-12 heads.

It's really alive!

Gao Mingcheng complained and decided to reduce the number of employees for this superborn family.

His gaze scanned among the wild boars, and finally he stared at a small pig that fit his eyes very well, the pig was not big, and it was enough to eat.

In the end, with the cooperation of the two dogs and Gao Mingcheng, they successfully won the little pig.

A javelin is firmly inserted into Piggy's head, killing Piggy with a single blow.

The wild boar herd was frightened and had already left the land of right and wrong.

The black tiger and the elf pounced on the dead boar and gnawed on it, their expressions gradually fierce and hideous, as if they had completely found the style of the original hunt.

Gao Mingcheng let them bite, and waited until his emotions gradually calmed down, then he walked over and pulled out the javelin.

This javelin was specially made by him to hunt wild boars and find a blacksmith, but it was useless for a long time, and the head of the gun was blunt, and he only sharpened the gun before going up the mountain.

He looked at the herd of wild boars in the distance, and he was in a good mood.

Wild boars are very fast breeding animals, and the number of wild boars in the mountains will double again next year.

When the time comes, he will lead two dogs into the mountains to hunt from time to time, and effectively control the breeding of wild boars before they are listed as protected animals, so as to prevent them from flooding.

Gao Mingcheng recalled for a while, only to remember that wild boars were included in the "Wildlife Protection Law" on August 1, 2000 years, and it is forbidden to hunt them privately.

And this year is 88 years, and it can be hunted for another twelve years!

Thinking like this, Gao Mingcheng's heart suddenly became arrogant, although he only had two dogs, but he also had the momentum of 'leading Huang on the left, Qingcang on the right, mink Qiu in the brocade hat, and Pinggang on a thousand horses'.

Gao Mingcheng picked up the wild boar on the ground and said loudly: "Children, go home!" ”

The two dogs immediately let out a coordinated bark, which sounded in the quiet mountain forest.

After they left, the forest was silent again.

The wild boar that Gao Mingcheng hunted was not big, and it was estimated that it was just an adult, about one hundred and twenty catties.

Wild boars generally grow to about eight months and are able to reproduce offspring, even if they are adults.

Therefore, the brothers and sisters of this wild boar will come into heat and breed during the Spring Festival, and then give birth to piglets around May.

In this way, it will continue to grow from generation to generation.

Gao Mingcheng carried the wild boar and ran all the way down the mountain.

After the death of a wild boar, it is necessary to disembowel it as soon as possible and remove the internal organs, otherwise it will stink.

If you are an ordinary person and your feet are not fast, then you have to find a place in the mountains to disembowel the wild boar and take out the internal organs.

However, Gao Mingcheng's physical fitness is beyond ordinary people, and when he runs in the mountains, his speed is very fast, but in more than ten minutes, he has already returned to his yard with the wild boar.

The boar wasn't heavy, so it didn't affect his speed at all.

Back at home, he began to deal with the wild boars.

This wild boar is still a small pig, the skin is not very thick, and if you remove the hair, the skin is also delicious, but it is not easy to remove the hair of the wild boar, Gao Mingcheng is too lazy to trouble, so it is still the old way - peeling.

He took out the pig-killing knife, first cut the skin of his abdomen, and then began to cut along the flesh.

This pig-killing knife is newly bought, the blade is sharp, and with a light cut, a piece of skin and flesh has been cut.

The pig killing knife is a sharp knife, with blades on both sides, when killing pigs, it is a white knife in, a red knife out, very domineering, and it is also the most important tool for killing pigs.

If someone in the village wants to kill a pig, they will usually ask the pig killer to kill it, and the pig killer will carry a pig killing knife and a bone chopping knife with him.

With these two things, a pig is fine.

The reason why he bought a pig-killing knife was because Gao Mingcheng found that he often used a dagger to deal with prey before, and the number of times he dealt with it like this was that the dagger was not sharp enough, and the dagger was given by Gao Guobing, and he still cherished it very much, so he decided not to use it anymore.

The dagger was stucked away, and the newly purchased pig-killing knife took on the heavy responsibility of handling prey, whether it was slaughtering sheep or bleeding wild boars, it was very useful.

Pig killing knives, all those who have used them say good!
