Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 868 It’s not a balloon
The anesthetic works very well.

After a series of collisions in the fence, Cannon Egg began to stand a little unsteadily, staggering, and soon collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.

When Cannon Egg went crazy, the other wild boars all shrank to the opposite side of the flap door. After Lu Lu loaded the tranquilizer bombs, he also shot each of the two female wild boars.

After being attacked, a bully immediately hit the door. Zhang Shaofeng and Liang Kangbo, who were guarding the door with big wooden sticks, gave it a hammer each.

The wild boar was dazed for a moment and stood in a daze.

Another female wild boar also rushed over, completely ignoring the standing wild boar. As if she had a grudge, she ran into her head on, followed by a burst of mad bites, which made the wild boar jump wildly. .

After waiting for more than a minute, he saw that the two big wild boars were still alive and well. Lu Lu had to give one of them a stitch, and then they collapsed to the ground with their eyes wandering.

A tube of anesthetic alone won't do much for them.

As for the half-big yellow boars, things were relatively simple. They were not yet wearing armor and were only about seventy or eighty pounds in size. They were standing outside the fence. One of them took a shot and lay down before the two female wild boars.

What follows is simple.

Several people took action, took ropes from the hunting bag, and tied the wild boar's feet one by one. Even the mouth was tied with rope around the tusks to prevent the anesthesia from failing and waking up and hurting people during transportation.

Afterwards, several people put the wild boar in a mop made of tree branches and dragged it to the door of the farm warehouse. Lu Lu rode Zhui Feng to the Tunli Mountain Goods Purchase Station and drove the car over. He also found two helpers and dragged the wild boar to the farm. They were loaded into the car one by one and then driven to the hunting ground.

It was quite a distance from the hunting ground in the deep mountains and forests. It was already dark when a few people successfully released these wild boars into the breeding area.

In the next few days, several people simply asked Meng Zhaohua to drive with them along the forest farm road, going deeper into the forest and looking for various wild animals in the ravines and valleys.

There are forest farms everywhere in the mountains, not logging areas. There are also many places where simple patrol roads have been built, which provides great convenience for Meng Zhaohua to drive deep into the mountains and forests.

The easiest thing to get in the mountains is roe deer.

When they found the group of roe deer, they directly used hunting nets and rope snares to select the location and arrange it in a group. Lei Meng and Zhao Yongke rode horse Hou on the right side of the group of roe deer. Zhang Shaofeng and Liang Kangbo rode horses some distance apart. Hou was on the left, and Lu The law is to lead the dogs to chase them from behind. By simply encircling them and driving them, he can control the direction and drive them into the trap area. Either they will run headlong into the hunting net, jump around and get entangled in themselves, or It's like being put around the neck by a chain noose.

Usually, the roe deer group has its own relatively fixed activity area. For a few savvy hunters, it is not difficult to check the route and invite them into the urn.

To deal with them, you don't even need to use anesthetics. You can capture them alive and tie them up, and then send Meng Zhaohua to the hunting ground to be released.

Nine days passed in the blink of an eye, and several people had achieved great results.

There were three wild boar herds, and there were more than 20 of them, large and small.Roe deer also caught four groups, with more than 30 animals.

For a few people, this harvest is not big, and sometimes they even fail.

They had to go deeper into the mountains before the situation improved slightly.

The main reason is that it takes a lot of time to transport them. They often have to go through several turns in the mountains before they can be loaded onto the road and transported back. It is no better than hunting one by one with a gun. When capturing, you have to do various preparations such as covers and fences. Route planning is quite troublesome.

Today is the tenth day they have been in the mountains. In the morning, they rode together and led Meng Zhaohua more than 40 miles into the mountains. They stopped only when there was no road.

Five people rode horses and led the dogs to search. As soon as they climbed over a ridge, Yuan Bao barked.

Pulling in the reins, several people listened attentively.

In the distance, they heard a "howling" sound coming from the valley below.

This is a kind of cry between a cow and a lion. When heard from a distance, the sound is loud and rough, which is very shocking.

"It's a red deer!"

Lu Lu was still not sure, but Zhao Yongke had already spoken out first.

If you listen carefully, you can see a similar voice echoing further down the valley.

Lu Lu suddenly realized that it was already September, the breeding season of red deer.

The red deer is the second largest member of the Cervidae family. It is named after its strong, horse-like body, and is second only to the moose in size.

Normally, male red deer live alone, while female deer live in groups of three or five. Only during the breeding season will male deer merge into the herd.

As soon as he heard the sound, Lu Lu guessed that it was a stag looking for the herd.

Unexpectedly, after going thirty or forty miles into the mountains, he could actually see red deer. Lu Lu thought it was quite surprising. This was also luck.

Red deer can be artificially bred and antlered like sika deer, and it is a very valuable wild animal. The price of antler is not as good as that of sika deer, but the yield is much higher.

During hunting in the past few years, I have not encountered many red deer, and even fewer in groups. The main reason is that although red deer are large, they have well-developed senses of smell and hearing, are agile, and are extremely good at running and jumping. They are often found in the mountains, surrounded by dogs. Before they were discovered, they had already left.

This was also the first time Lu Lu led Chen Xiuqing to track down a red deer. He spent a whole day and a night there, and without any patience, he couldn't even see a trace of it.

Now that he had this opportunity, Lu Lu suddenly came up with the idea of ​​breeding. Whether it was to raise prey for hunting grounds or to set up a special breeding farm, it was very cost-effective.

The key point is that red deer eat grass and leaves, branches and leaves of various shrubs, and some hard grasses that many herbivores do not eat. It is very extensive and easy to raise. "It seems that we should also build a red deer breeding farm..." Lu Lu said with a smile.

A few people immediately and cautiously moved in the direction of the sound of the red deer. Before they even saw the red deer, they heard the sound of the trees shaking.

It's on the run!
Lu Lu immediately gave instructions to Yuan Bao and the others, then rode Zhui Feng and chased them in the direction of the sound.

In fact, the trees were so dense at this time that Lu Lu couldn't run fast even on Chasing Feng.

In comparison, Yuanbao and the others were quite convenient. Not long after, Lu Lu heard the barking of Yuanbao and the others. When he arrived, he was a little amused to see this majestic red deer running away. , the eight-pronged antlers on his head got caught on some thick forest trees and couldn't get free.

Facing Yuanbao and the others, they could only keep kicking with their four feet or kicking their back legs to drive them away, but Yuanbao and the others were not bitten for a while.

This was convenient for Lu Lu. He took off the anesthesia gun and shot it three times in succession for such a big body.

Later, Lu Lu comforted Yuanbao and the others, and after waiting for about 3 minutes, Red Deer finally couldn't bear the power of the anesthetic and fell down.

Zhang Shaofeng and others who arrived later looked at the red deer that was stuck because of its antlers, and they couldn't help but laugh: "With such a big pair of antlers, you shouldn't run into this mountain forest and kill yourself." Tricked."

"You can't get away without this pair of horns. The female elk probably won't even look at it if she sees it." Liang Kangbo took over the conversation and said.

"It's better to think about how to get it out..." Raymond looked a little confused: "This is a big guy, weighing several hundred kilograms!"

"The only thing we can do is clear the way, get a bigger support, and drag it out! We need two horses..."

In the mountains, this is the only way to think of it.

So, the three of them cut down the small trees that were blocking the red deer's antlers, and the two of them used the small trees to tie a ground mop with thick branches and leaves to prevent the red deer from being hurt when dragging. Then they worked together to use wooden sticks to roll the limp red deer to the ground and drag it to the ground.

After gathering the four hooves of the red deer and dragging it on the ground, Raymond and Liang Kangbo hung it on a rope and dragged it up the hillside.

The other three people were helping, using knives to repair the obstacles in front of them.

After working for almost two hours, I sent the red deer, which had already woken up from anesthesia and was struggling, to the road. I specially chose a place that was level with the car's butt to get this big guy. in the car.

Even though its four hooves were tied, it couldn't break free.

But it was not good to tie them up for too long. Lu Lu immediately asked Meng Zhaohua to drive back and put the red deer into the hunting ground as soon as possible.

"Eldest brother, second brother and fourth brother, the three of you go back first and take away the tranquilizer gun. You have to help herd the red deer. Otherwise, when you arrive at the hunting ground and rashly untie the rope that binds the red deer, it is very likely that you will When attacked by a red deer, this thing is not weak in combat. If it is stepped on or jumped with its horns, it can easily kill the person. If necessary, use a tranquilizer gun to anesthetize it before unloading the car."

Lu Lu handed the box containing the anesthetic gun and anesthetic bombs to Zhang Shaofeng and warned him.

"What about you two?"

"My third brother and I are going to see other red deer to make sure how many there are! I'm afraid it won't work today. They have been alarmed and they are probably all gone. Let's see if we can catch them tomorrow."

"According to what you just said, the ones who responded should be the female deer group. These don't have antlers, so I'm afraid they are not easy to catch. The deer's range of activities is quite loose and not fixed. Chain lassoes and the like are not Do you know if it’s useful?”

"It works. As long as I can get the opportunity to use the tranquilizer gun at close range, it will be easy. The key is to be too alert and not easy to get close... Both the noose and the chain noose should be able to be used. Moreover, I have Father Zhao to teach me." The best method is to grab the feet. After we go back in the evening, we will prepare some. Anyway, we will need it later."

"Okay, be careful!"

Raymond watched the car go away, so he stopped delaying, mounted his horse and called Liang Kangbo and Zhang Shaofeng to chase the car.

Lu Luze and Zhao Yongke estimated where Ma Luying's harmony came from and went there.

After about half an hour of searching, Yuanbao and Bailong gave the first warning.

After appraising the general direction, he rode his horse to a high place in the leeward direction, climbed up a big tree, and searched the forest with a sight mounted on a semi-automatic jacket. A few minutes later, he saw people eating grass and picking leaves in the forest. of red deer. After looking carefully for a while, I could distinguish five red deer.

"Good guys, five of them at once. I'll be very busy tomorrow. I hope I won't run too far!"

Lu Lu put away his gun and got down from the tree. He told Zhao Yongke about the general situation. The two of them also rode back. They didn't expect to encounter such a big guy today. They were a little too late and needed to make some preparations.

The two of them also went straight back to the hunting ground. When they arrived, they saw Zhang Shaofeng and others unloading the red deer and putting it into the breeding ground.

The few of them didn't stay too long, as they still had preparations to do, so they were simply called by Lu Lu to go to Caodianzi for dinner, and then they would prepare together and put their horses in Caodianzi.

When I passed through the village, I happened to catch up with the elementary school starting at noon.

Along the way, I saw Xiao Zhengyang following Liang Qiming, the son of Liang Kangbo's family, into the school. When he was leaving, he saw a pair of twins from Zhang Shaofeng's family.

When he saw the two of them, Lu Lu's expression became strange.

I saw that one of the two people was holding a transparent water balloon with some water in it, and they were lifting it up and down like a yo-yo.

Lu Lu thought to himself: "That's not a balloon! How do these two sixth-grade children get it?"
