Rebirth of the 1980s: Hunting the Blind Bear at the Beginning

Clipping a big skin, that is, catching sable, this kind of little guy who was listed as a first-class endangered protected animal in later generations, has been wildly sought after by people during the Republic of China.

Coats made from their furs were once sold for thousands of oceans during the Shanghai Tan period

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, although the popularity of the people has declined, the price has been rising after 60 years.

Now, even if a sable skin is not in good condition, the purchase price of the state-run store is as high as 300 yuan!

That's 300 pieces in the 80s!!

Xia Feng risked being torn to pieces by a black bear last time, and the bear bile that he got in most of the day was worth about seven or eight hundred.

In other words, two large skins of acceptable quality are equal to one bear bile!

The price of the 56-type semi-automatic that Xia Feng wants to buy is between 2000-3000, which is less than 10 large skins.

As soon as he thought of this, the heat in Xia Feng's heart could not be suppressed.

Rubbing his hands, which were a little numb from the long journey, Xia Feng said while sorting out the clips: "Erzhuzi, look at it, follow me below." "

"Good. "

Wang Erzhu nodded, engrossed.

He had long wanted to know how Xia Feng planned to clip the big skin.

In these years, everyone knows that big leather is worth a lot, and one is equal to four or five months' salary.

Catching two sables a year is basically enough for a family to live.

But.

Including Xiaohe Village, it is estimated that several surrounding villages can make up two or three large skins in a year.

The scarcity of numbers is partly the reason, but more importantly, it is too difficult to catch!

Dealing with the traps of Greyhound and Wong Tai Sin can't deal with sable at all.

That little thing is far smarter than people think.

However, since Xia Feng chose to do this, there must be a reason for him.

Wang Erzhu didn't ask much, just follow suit.

In fact, just as Wang Erzhu thought, Xia Feng gave up digging the bear warehouse and turned his head to choose to clip the big skin, which was indeed not a decision made with a pat on the head.

Two difficulties in clipping large skin:

First, the trail is hard to find

Second, the trap is hard to set

Sables are not like wild boars, black bears and other large beasts of prey, they like to wander around, and their range of movement is small.

Therefore, there is no talk of tracking at all.

However, this is not difficult to resist the summer breeze.

In the previous life, when he found this bear barn on the sunny slope, he happened to see a sable foraging for food.

Sables like to pile up in winter, and since one has been found, it means that there are many more.

As for the traps, that's even more to worry about.

Xia Feng knows a special method to catch a small and very agile little creature like a sable!

Quickly tidying up the clips he brought, Xia Feng bent down and carefully examined the traces on the snow.

Soon, Xia Feng found what he wanted-

Sable footprints!!

Several lines of footprints were scattered across the snow, spreading from a distance into the trees.

The footprints are messy, intertwined with each other, and in different directions.

It can be seen that those sables have traveled back and forth on this route for an unknown number of times.

As the old saying goes: snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths.

Not only rats and rabbits, but also sables like to follow the same route.

They don't change easily unless they have to!!

And that's exactly what Summer Breeze takes advantage of.

Handing the paper in his hand to Wang Erzhu, Xia Feng carefully approached those footprints, and then stopped at a distance of seventy or eighty centimeters.

Squatting down slowly, Xia Feng took off his gloves and began to dig holes in the snow with his bare hands.

Dig all the way to a depth of twenty or thirty centimeters, and then dig under the footprints.

During the whole process, Xia Feng was very cautious and careful.

He knew very well that once something went wrong at this time, it would be a waste of all his efforts.

Like the yellow skin, the sable does not have good vision and relies mainly on hearing and touch to ensure its own safety.

Of course, these two methods will not detect the trap, but they will find that there is an anomaly in the path they normally walk, such as a disconnection, a hole, or other animal footprints.

will immediately hide, or simply change habitats.

Once an experienced hunter finds traces of sable, he will not start casually, but will go back and prepare a lot of clips at one time, and serve them in one pot!

Because they know that the big skin is a one-shot deal.

Once the sable finds an anomaly, it will disappear regardless of whether the enemy is detected or not!

Xia Feng dug carefully, digging a hole the size of two bricks under the footprints, less than the thickness of a fingernail from the top layer of snow.

From the outside, there are hardly any anomalies.

It was only at this time that Xia Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Erzhuzi, take a clip for me." "

Reached out and took a clip from Wang Erzhu's side and carefully put it into it.

Then he took another piece of paper.

Cover it over the clip.

This is done to prevent the sable from triggering the clamp first when the sable falls into the trap.

That will only catch the snow, not the sable.

Never underestimate the sensitivity of a sable.

Those little ones are much tougher to deal with than squirrels!!

After confirming that everything was okay, Xia Feng backfilled the snow that had been dug up before.

All the movements are replayed in slow motion, and Xia Feng feels that he has not been so careful when touching abalone in his previous life.

"This trap itself is actually not difficult, the main thing is that the range of action should be small and the force should be light..."

Xia Feng told Wang Erzhu some details.

There was nothing difficult about this work, and after repeating it a few times, Wang Erzhu saw it.

It took the two of them several hours to bury all the more than twenty clips.

"Boss, this can be caught, why don't we just send it!!".

A big leather is 300 yuan, and 20 pieces are 6,000 yuan, Wang Erzhu said that he had never dreamed of so much money!!

The 10,000 yuan households in the 90s were synonymous with the rich, let alone the 80s

Xia Feng rolled his eyes: "Don't dream." "

"If you can catch one-third, it is all the ancestors who burned high incense. "

Sable is really so easy to catch, where will the price increase every year?

Xia Feng estimates that there are more than 20 clips, and if you are not unlucky, you should be able to catch about 5.

That is, a conservative profit of 1500 yuan!!

Earn 1,500 yuan in a few hours, and there is no risk.

This is obviously much more comfortable than a bear hunt.

It's a pity that it can only be bought and sold with one hammer, and Xia Feng only remembers such a sable habitat.

If you want to catch it again, you can only try your luck in the mountains.

The environment there is much more severe than here, don't look at it as early winter, the snow is at least waist-deep!!

Even he didn't want to go to any kind of ghost place.

After packing up his things briefly, Xia Feng looked up at the sky, and the sun was already above his head at this time.

At this time, even if you go home, you won't be able to make it to lunch.

"Erzhuzi, hug the fire, let's eat something and then go down the mountain. "

"Okay!".
