Dashan Makes a Living 1984

"Brother, what are you?"

"We need to determine where the upwind is," Wang Tianxiao pointed to the right hand side. "We have to go around from here to the leeward direction, so that we can get close to the honey dog's nest. Their noses are very sensitive. If they are in the upwind direction, they will definitely be able to sense it." Show our taste."

"Is it really that strong?"

"Of course, every creature in this mountain has evolved for tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of years. If there is no effort to suppress the bottom of the box, how can it survive the cruel competition?"

"Oh." Wang Tianxin was thoughtful.

"Also, when you walk, you should be lighter. They can also know that other creatures are approaching based on the vibration of the ground. Especially if you believe in it, don't always bluff and make too much noise when you walk."

"Well, I see."

"Okay, let's move on. If I'm not mistaken, we'll be able to see their trajectories in about one or two hundred meters."

According to Wang Tianxiao's instructions, the three of them slowly circled to the downwind place and continued to explore forward.

Because there are no footprints, it depends on two dogs to find the way.

Ten minutes later, the two dogs stopped suddenly, looked ahead and whimpered.

"There is a situation, hurry up."

Wang Tianxin stepped forward quickly, hid behind the bushes, gently poked two holes in Xue with a branch, and looked ahead.

Seeing it, he gasped and almost sat down on the ground.

Seeing his pale face, Wang Tianxiao knew that he must have seen the scene of Mi Gouzi hunting. He immediately thought it was funny, and gently pulled his brother up, motioning him and Wu Wenhua to squat behind the bushes.

Only then did he focus on the hunting scene.

On the snow field fifty-six meters ahead, at least seven or eight honey dogs were besieging and killing a gray-white animal.

The animal was about one meter long, with horns on its head, but it was very short, a bit like a three-pronged tree branch.

Its ears and eyes are big, its neck is longer than that of sika deer, its limbs are quite long, its hind limbs are slightly longer than its forelimbs, and its tail is quite short, almost hidden in body hair from a distance.

It turned out to be roe deer.

Wang Tianxiao was also surprised.

There are sika deer in Ziwuling, and naturally there are roe deer, which is also a kind of deer.

Looking at the appearance of this roe deer, it should be a male roe deer that has not fully grown up. The male roe deer has short branch-like horns on its head, which is far less beautiful than the sika deer.

The coat color of roe deer changes with the seasons.

In summer, roe deer are generally maroon, or a slightly lighter brown-yellow, but when it gets colder in autumn, the color gradually becomes lighter and turns brown-gray. When it snows in winter, many roe deer even directly turn gray-white.

Just like the roe deer in front of you.

Roe deer originally eat all kinds of grass, fruits and bark, so in winter, the snow-covered mountains are fatal to roe deer. Not only do they lack food, but they also lose their resting places, often putting themselves in danger.

People near the mountain thought the roe deer was a fool.

They seem to have some pretty unintelligent behavior.

For example, when a hunter or a hunter encounters a roe deer in the mountains, the roe deer will run away quickly, but if the hunter does not chase them, they may stop and watch not far away, even in the snow in winter, if you are lucky, take A wooden stick can hit those roe deer lying on the ground and unwilling to move.

This is not because the roe deer is stupid, but because of living habits.

In other words, it is the harsh environment of nature that forces them to choose such a survival mode.

For example, why do roe deer always stop to watch after seeing the predators? This is actually because roe deer are always cautious. It is not easy for them to find a place where they can eat or rest temporarily. willing to give up.

And the hunters in nature will not continue to chase after the roe deer is alarmed, so they can wait until the hunters leave and return to the original place.

But human beings are much smarter than predators. Human beings can use strategies and explore laws.

When hunters discover that the roe deer has this habit, they just need to startle the roe deer away, then hide and wait near the original spot, and there is a high probability that the roe deer will throw themselves into the net.

Another example is the kind of roe deer who is directly stunned by a stick, and there is also a kind of bitterness behind it.

Due to the lack of food in winter, roe deer are generally weak in physical strength, especially female roe deer.

Roe deer is the animal with the longest pregnancy period in the deer family. It is similar to human beings. It takes about ten months from pregnancy to birth.

Other seasons are fine. In winter, the pregnant roe deer already have insufficient food, and they have to bear the nutrition of the child in their stomachs, so their bodies will become very weak.

They can only eat some dry bark or hay for a living.

Once the heavy snow has passed, the snow will press down all the food, and they have to dig the snow to find a place where they can eat and live.

And because of lack of physical strength, once they lie down to rest, they are reluctant to stand up again, even in the face of sudden danger.

Therefore, most of the roe deer that hunters can knock out with sticks in the mountains after snow are female roe deer, and most of them are pregnant.

In Wang Tianxiao's previous life, he would not hunt this kind of roe deer. Hunters have a basic rule, they cannot kill pregnant prey, they cannot kill chickens to get their eggs, and they took away the future of Dashan.

Of course, the roe deer are pitiful, but there is no need to show them too much sympathy.

In fact, for human beings, the roe deer is harmful but not beneficial. Once the number of roe deer increases and they cannot find enough food in the forest, they will go to the villagers' fields to steal food, sometimes in groups Come in groups.

Therefore, if there is too much roe deer, the forestry department will organize hunters to kill them until the number is reduced to an ecologically acceptable level.

back to the scene.

It was also the first time Wang Tianxiao saw a honey dog ​​hunting a roe deer.

At a rough glance, this roe deer weighs less than 30 kilograms. Although it is not fully grown, it is at least a meter or more. The honey dogs that surrounded it looked like kittens, with a difference in size Very different.

But honey dog ​​hunting is a group attack.

They are flexible, large in number, and have sharp teeth. Although the roe deer in winter has an advantage in size, their strength and speed are greatly affected.

They are basically seldom alone, at least three or five live together, and I don't know what's wrong with it.

Perhaps feeling the danger of his life, the roe deer exerted all his strength, thinking about throwing off the honey dog ​​on his body, but the two honey dogs were tearing the flesh on its back tightly, and it did not shake off.

As the roe deer moves, the honey dog ​​looks like cancerous tumors growing on its body, or blood-sucking leeches.

No matter how it swings from side to side, accelerates suddenly, or other methods, it can't escape the bite of Migouzi.
