Because this was the first time he went into the mountains when it was dark, and he had to spend the night in the mountains, Xu Sheng felt a little scared as soon as he walked two steps.
"Er baby, do we really want to spend the night in the mountains? Isn't it a bit too hasty?"
Li Shiqiang turned his head and glanced at him. He wanted to tell a few jokes to ease his worries, but he still patiently comforted him: "Don't be afraid! Let's kill some wild boars tonight. We will drive up to the mountains during the day tomorrow. Let’s see if we can encounter a herd of takin.”
After saying this, Li Shiqiang turned to Zhang Baoshan next to him and said: "The job I took is for meat. Let's hunt some wild boars and takin. These two guys have the most meat."
Compared to Xu Sheng, Zhang Baoshan's temperament was much wilder. Not only was he not afraid of spending the night in the mountains, but he also excitedly played with the double-barreled shotgun in his hand and said, "It's okay, I just want to shoot something." If you are addicted, it doesn’t matter what you hit.”
"OK!"
Li Shiqiang looked at the gun in his hand, nodded and said nothing.
The double-barreled shotgun is a good thing specially used for hunting.
After all, this gun is double-barreled and can be loaded with two rounds of bullets. It is much better than a blunderbuss gun that requires one bullet to fire.
Moreover, this gun can use some ordinary shotguns at ordinary times. When encountering some large prey, it can also be replaced with large-caliber single-point bullets or other special bullets. The power is very powerful, enough to kill most prey with one shot. head.
So hunting with this gun is quite enjoyable.
No matter what it is, one shot is enough to knock it down. If it doesn't, just shoot it again!
Of course, the recoil of this double-barreled shotgun is much greater than that of other shotguns, and those who are weak would not dare to use it.
The most important thing is that this double-barreled shotgun doesn't care about accuracy. With one shot, anything within ten meters can be hit by the projectile.
As the three of them were walking, Xu Sheng suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Er baby, is this not the way to Laowu Mountain?"
Li Shiqiang nodded and said directly: "Let's go to Heitai Mountain. The wild boars in the mountains are easier to manage, and it is easier to encounter takin herds."
Li Shiqiang's sudden change of hunting place was not intentional.
But there is really something to say.
The wild boars in the mountains are wild and will not run away if they encounter people.
Takin herds often appear in places with higher altitudes, so they are more likely to be encountered in Heitai Mountain.
But for Xu Sheng, he usually went hunting in Laowu Mountain, and now he suddenly had to change into a strange environment, and he couldn't help but gradually become nervous.
But he looked at the two people next to him who looked fearless, and still refrained from speaking.
Fortunately, Zhang Baoshan was not only courageous, but also talkative. Along the way, he kept asking Li Shiqiang about his previous hunting.
Listening to the chat between the two, Xu Sheng's inner tension gradually eased.
When the three finally arrived at the foot of Heitai Mountain, Li Shiqiang also took out a flashlight he had borrowed from the Huang family before leaving.
However, he did not open it, but just held it in his hand.
"Brother, why don't you turn on that flashlight?"
Listening to Zhang Baoshan's inquiry, Li Shiqiang smiled and said: "This is a treasure I borrowed specifically for hunting, not to light our way."
Zhang Baoshan and Xu Sheng were both half-experienced hunters and had never hunted at night. After hearing Li Shiqiang's words, they were a little confused.
"What? This flashlight is not used to illuminate the road. What else can it be used for?"
Just when Xu Sheng asked, Li Shiqiang suddenly turned on the flashlight and pointed it at a little guy not far away from the three of them.
It was a gray hare. After being illuminated by the strong light of the flashlight that suddenly turned on, it froze in place.
Even if Li Shiqiang walked up to it with a flashlight, he still remained dumbfounded and did not run away.
Li Shiqiang smiled and hit the hare with the tip of the gun in his hand, knocking it to the ground.
"What's going on? Why doesn't the rabbit run away?"
Seeing this scene, both of them were a little confused.
The hare looks small, but it is actually very flexible and very difficult to catch when it jumps around.
Coupled with the terrain restrictions inside the mountain and the help of some covers, it is even more difficult for ordinary people to catch it.
But now, the two of them saw such a silly rabbit that even though others were standing in front of it, it didn't even run away.
Seeing the confused looks on their faces, Li Shiqiang suddenly turned on the flashlight again and pointed it at them.
"What are you doing!?"
"What's going on?"
The two people quickly narrowed their eyes and stretched out their hands to block their eyes.
After Li Shiqiang turned off the flashlight, they still stood there and blinked in discomfort.
"How's it going? Do you understand now? People are not used to being illuminated by flashlights at night, let alone those animals."
"And many animals are accustomed to being active at night, so they are even more unable to adapt to the flashlight being suddenly turned on."
"So that's it...!"
Listening to Li Shiqiang's explanation, the two of them nodded in understanding.
And Xu Sheng suddenly didn't feel so scared. If there was a flashlight, wouldn't hunting at night not only be less threatening, but also easier and simpler?
After casually throwing the dead rabbit in his hand into the bamboo basket behind his back, Li Shiqiang took the lead and led the way.
Wild boars like to stay out during the day and at night, and usually don't come out until after twelve o'clock in the evening to look for food.
And because it is approaching summer, wild boars usually live in places with water sources.
Therefore, after going up the mountain, Li Shiqiang led Xu Sheng and Zhang Baoshan to a place with water.
While rushing on the road, he was also teaching him how to deal with wild boars. After all, these two people were not real hunters.
"Before hunting wild boars, the first thing to determine is not the position of the wild boar, but the position of your teammates. Because it is pitch black at night, it is easy to shoot at your own people without paying attention."
"After determining the location of the wild boar, remember to stand on both sides of the wild boar and shoot, and do not shoot the head-on pig. Because the wild boar rushes in a straight line, it will not change direction even if it is shot."
"Also, it's best to stand on the hillside and shoot, otherwise the wild boar will rush over after two hits..."
After telling the two of them a bunch of ways to deal with wild boars, the moon above their heads gradually rose to the sky.
It was not far from midnight at this time. After the three of them found a place with water in the mountains, they began to wait patiently.
In fact, if it is daytime, you can find wild boars directly based on the feces or traces left by wild boars.
But because I was in a hurry, I had to start hunting at night.
Soon, as time passes.
In the forest, the grunts of wild boars gradually sounded.
The three of them immediately cheered up and looked for the wild boar's movements with the help of the weak moonlight overhead.
