Chapter 550: Excited Black Bear
The total number of open hunts for black bears is one hundred.
Once the number is reached, the ranking is settled.
It is now the morning of the fourth day.
A total of more than sixteen black bears were killed, and everyone was motivated and ready to do a big job in the coming days.
Some hunters even carried a large bag of supplies and lived in the forest. After hunting a black bear, they did not plan to return to the town to rest, but set up a tent and continue hunting.
Fortunately, I am not there, otherwise I would definitely smell the strong odor of sweat.
Many people even had a strong smell of blood on their bodies, but they didn't care at all that their odor was smelled and attracted by large carnivorous beasts.
Japan has no wolves, tigers, or lions, which are agile and extremely threatening super predators. The only large beasts that exist are black bears and brown bears.
It would be fine if he doesn’t come, but it would be great if he could come. The hunters are sharpening their knives and are looking forward to it.
Continuous sunny days have made today's weather even hotter than the previous two days.
The soil exposed on the surface and exposed to the sun can be crushed into powder with just a pinch of the hand and slides down through the fingertips.
Bifang grabbed a handful of sand from the ground, came to a high ground, stepped on a huge rock, looked at the woods at the foot of the mountain, and slowly squeezed out the fine sand in his hand.
Watch it float in a certain direction and then dissipate in mid-air.
"It's a southeast wind, and it's very light."
Bifang squinted at the sun, his body felt like it was on fire, every skin cell wailing in the high temperature. He opened the kettle and poured all the water on his head. A breeze blew by, taking away some of the heat.
Bifang wiped his face and said, "Most wild animals fear humans far more than humans fear them, even large animals are no exception, so black bears generally stay away from humans."
"I've said before that black bears have a keen sense of smell and hearing. They can smell odors half a kilometer away with the wind and hear footsteps 300 steps away. So if you want to get close to them, it's best to go against the wind rather than with it."
"If the wind is blowing in your favor, the scent will reach the black bear before you do, and out of caution, it may leave early, making our hunt more difficult."
It is not advisable to wait in the same place. After killing a black bear in one place, it is time to move to another place.
This is due to the black bear's strong sense of territory.
Throughout nature, any medium-sized or larger carnivore has a history of attacking humans , but their attacks are rarely for food.
Carnivores in nature have their own relatively fixed diets, and they rarely eat food outside of their diets.
For example, although lions will hunt carnivores such as leopards and hyenas, they will not eat these animals unless they are extremely hungry.
The same is true for black bears. They are also afraid of unfamiliar things and will actively avoid them driven by their instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.
However, black bears are solitary animals with a strong sense of territory.
Animals are usually territorial and will be hostile and aggressive towards anyone who intrudes upon their territory.
"I mentioned this the day before yesterday."
Bifang pursed his lips and started climbing the hill.
After exercising for a while, his spirit was completely awakened and his muscles began to regain strength.
People usually experience muscle weakness right after waking up, but this weakness can be relieved after a short activity.
This is because the muscles and nerves of the human body are not fully awake. The more soundly you sleep at night, the more obvious the fatigue you will feel in the morning.
After more than ten minutes of hiking, which was equivalent to a set of warm-up exercises, Bifang had recovered to his normal physiological state and was eager to try.
Five hours of sleep is not insufficient. If necessary, Bifang can keep his physical fitness above a certain level by going without sleep for three days and three nights.
This is the basic quality that almost every special forces soldier must have.
And after training, most elites can enter deep sleep in seconds, using the least amount of sleep time in exchange for greater rest.
But that is a special situation. The nerves are always tense. After extreme fatigue, the brain is emptied and the person falls asleep quickly.
Generally, you sleep for an integer multiple of a sleep cycle.
For example, one and a half hours, three hours, four and a half hours, etc., are used to allocate the shift change time at a time.
There is no need for Bifang to reach that level right now. He still feels as tired as a normal person when he wakes up in the morning.
It seems that there is a more advanced polyphasic sleep method, which is to sleep for 30 minutes every 4 hours, and a total of 3 hours of sleep in 24 hours, which can improve cognitive ability better than sleeping for 3 hours at a time.
It is said that the Da Vinci sleeping method is even more outrageous. This sleeping method is to sleep for 15 minutes for every 4 hours of work. There are 24 hours in a day, which means that you can sleep for 6 15-minute periods a day, which adds up to one and a half hours, which can save more time.
But Bifang himself has never tried it.
Sleeping like this means you want to go to see the King of Hell as soon as possible. Oh, in Leonardo da Vinci's words, do you want to see God?
Bifang can be considered a half-health master. He thinks that insisting on polyphasic sleep will only destroy the human body's circadian rhythm, leading to adverse reactions such as physical and mental fatigue, anxiety and tension, and decreased immunity.
If this is made into a daily lifestyle, people’s performance in this state will be much worse than normal.
It has no other function besides this.
If you have homework to catch up on in the last two days of your winter or summer vacation, you can give it a try. You can create a miracle in one night.
Extending his shoulders, Bifang stepped on the rocks and advanced at a fairly fast speed through the forest. After he climbed over the hillside in front of him, he continued speaking.
"Generally speaking, the territory of an adult black bear is between 10 and 40 square kilometers."
"Most people may not have a specific concept of this data, but you only need to know that 10 square kilometers is equivalent to the size of 1,400 standard football fields."
[Fuck, it’s so big? ]
[It’s so funny. I have an idea of a standard football field, but I have no idea of 1,400 football fields.]
Bifang changed the subject: "But there are too many black bears in Japan, and humans occupy most of the territory. Under the pressure of the same species and humans, the territory of a black bear may not be that large."
[Have black bears also started to roll inward? (Funny)]
【Roll, give them all to me! 】
"In addition to straying into their territory, there is another situation where black bears actively attack animals they encounter, and that is female black bears with cubs."
"Female black bears with cubs are extremely protective of their cubs, so if a person encounters them at this time, the black bear will actively attack if it feels that the cubs are threatened."
Generally speaking, black bears will actively attack humans in these two situations. At this time, the black bears are very dangerous and appear in a furious state.
This is quite unfriendly to hunters.
Mastering the initiative to attack is very important in hunting.
"Of course, it's unprovoked, at least from a human perspective, and there have been cases of black bears attacking humans."
"However, most of these attacks occur in the summer, around the mating season. Animals in love are driven by hormones and, like humans, are very excited and enthusiastic, which causes them to look at things differently."
"One thing to note is that the mating seasons for black bears in different regions are also different."
Bifang bent down and pushed aside the grass, and a piece of steaming dung appeared in front of everyone.
