Chapter 563 Two Bears and One Pig
In the vast forest, the huge bear's butt was facing away from everyone. When the drone took off, it could be seen that the brown bear was digging for food in the ground and was completely unaware of the danger coming from behind.
The hunting season was in full swing these past two days, with a total of 35 hunters. Some hunters caught at least one black bear each, but not a single brown bear.
The audience who had seen at least twenty black bears being hunted already had a fixed impression in their minds. After seeing it so many times, they could basically know the approximate size of the black bear at a glance.
When I saw the brown bear again at this time, the fixed impression in my mind was greatly impacted, and the shock I felt was self-evident.
It's so fucking big.
It's not even on the same level as the black bear.
Adult black bears are considered small among bears. Females are less than 1.5 meters long and weigh less than 140 kilograms. Males are generally around 1.5 meters long and weigh around 150 kilograms.
The brown bear, also known as the grizzly bear, is larger than the black bear and is one of the largest land mammals in the order Carnivora. The females alone weigh between 80 and 250 kilograms. Female brown bears are larger than adult male black bears.
The weight of adult males is even more exaggerated, generally between 140 and 550 kilograms.
Bifang took a deep breath and slowly backed away to avoid being discovered by the brown bear in advance: "The largest brown bear hunted in the world so far is almost 4 meters long and weighs nearly 600 kilograms!"
Don’t be fooled by the brown bear in front of you digging the ground and looking clumsy, or walking unsteadily. It has well-developed sense of smell and hearing, and is extremely strong. It can run at a maximum speed of 56 kilometers per hour!
Only after retreating fifty meters away did Bifang breathe a sigh of relief.
"It is said that bears have poor eyesight and are called 'black blind bears'. In fact, only the Asian black bear has poor eyesight. The eyes of other types of bears are very good. In front of an adult brown bear, an unarmed human is like a weakling."
"A brown bear can reach a speed of 56 kilometers per hour, which is as fast as a car, but this speed cannot be sustained. It is a short-term burst."
"Plus, we are in the forest. The greater the mass, the greater the inertia. The brown bear cannot charge at us recklessly. So 50 meters is a safe distance in my opinion. Even if the brown bear suddenly charges at me, I am 80% sure that I can escape directly."
It is summer now, and there is no shortage of various plants and animals.
Brown bears are also omnivores. When there is plenty of food, it is impossible for them to chase an animal desperately. In addition, the weather is hot, and brown bears with thick fur will be even hotter, so it is not worth it unless you annoy it.
[It’s fucking huge, at least as big as two black bears! ]
[If we kill him, Lao Fang will be awesome. This thing is at least two meters long. I bet it's definitely two meters and three meters long!]
[Is this the first brown bear? ]
[No, a two-person team also found one a few days ago, but it was too big, so they didn’t dare to touch it. Lao Fang will give it a try (dog head)]
In Japan, there are fewer brown bears than black bears, so the probability of encountering one is smaller.
The butt of the brown bear just now was twice as big as the one that Bifang hunted on the third day!
This guy, is he really going to hunt brown bears?
Bifang has often performed amazing feats, but when faced with such a huge brown bear, many people still show fear.
Even though they weren't the ones on stage, the audience still felt scared.
When people go bear hunting, if they fail, they are likely to be killed in return. It is a dangerous "brave action".
This was different from the time with Mugalen. At least there were two of them that time, so they were at least distracted. In addition, they had prepared enough traps and severely injured the brown bear in advance, so that they could finally kill it with one shot.
Bifang nodded without hesitation.
Of course you can't miss it.
A brown bear's score may be higher than that of two black bears combined, and he has two powerful weapons in his hands.
Toxin and tiger snake venom, either of these two things, if it gets a hold of a brown bear, will be enough to cause it to suffer a lot.
Inside the restaurant, Tanaka and Okuyama looked at the small TV on the wall and their hearts sank.
The two of them had hunted three bears. They were ranked first before last night, but today they have slipped to second place. Now they are in a period of rest. They returned to the town and solved the problem of eating. They happened to see this scene.
In the past two days, the black bear hunting season has become popular in the streets and alleys of Japan. No matter where you go, you can see the live or recorded broadcast of the hunting season.
Even in the small restaurant at this moment, the TV volume was turned up to maximum.
The noise in the originally bustling restaurant suddenly dropped to a low level. Several waiters looked at Tanaka and the other man furtively and talked in low voices.
"Brown bear, it's too big."
"I saw it from a distance before. When it stood up, it was at least as tall as two people!"
"Two people tall? Nonsense, that's more than three meters tall. Do you think it's three meters tall?"
"This guy is so brave, Sanmao is back!"
“That’s amazing!”
It was not noon yet, and there were not many people in the restaurant, only a few waiters and drunkards, but Tanaka and the other two still heard everything clearly and felt a little unconvinced.
Aoshan straightened his back, turned his head and looked at the people behind him, and raised his voice a few degrees: "This guy is just bragging. Brown bears and black bears are not prey of the same level at all! How can one person succeed in hunting?"
Tanaka nodded and agreed, "It's hard to kill a brown bear even with a shotgun, let alone primitive hunting. It's simply impossible for one person to take on an adult male brown bear."
Judging from the live broadcast, the brown bear was at least 2.2 meters long, so the two easily determined that it was an adult male black bear.
A few drunks who had come to eat since noon became interested when they heard this, and started to make a fuss, asking Tanaka why.
"Nowadays, a gun can blow a person to pieces with one shot, so how can it be impossible to deal with a bear?"
"Yeah, it's also muscles and bones, what's the difference."
Tanaka sneered at the layman's answer. "Brown bears are sturdy, with hard and thick skulls that are long and narrow. The frontal impact area is small. Even if a human's skull is blown off by a bullet, they may not die immediately if their brain stem is not damaged, let alone a bear."
"The 308Win caliber, which is 7.62X51mm, is a bit difficult to use. Bears are much stronger than humans. We need at least .30-06 caliber, which is the ammunition used by Springfield and M1 Garand rifles."
When hunting large animals such as bears and bison, in order to avoid disturbing the prey, you need to shoot from a safe distance, and a rifle is definitely the first choice.
"For example, although the 300 Winchester Magnum bullet is also 7.62 caliber, its power is 40% more than the general 308 bullet."
Tanaka had served in the military and had a hunting rifle license at home , so he knew all these things by heart.
He also hunted a brown bear a few years ago, but he used a rifle, which was completely different from the current hunting season, but it was enough for him to brag about.
Even among ghost hunters, few have ever hunted brown bears.
Seeing that several drunks were confused, Tanaka became more excited: "Hornady's new .300 PRC 'Precision Rifle Ammunition' bullet uses a very long low-drag bullet. It is the best performing of all the popular .30 ammunition on the market."
"Although modern high-speed rifle bullets have high initial velocity, long range and good accuracy, they tend to roll and break after hitting the prey. For hunters who want to get fresh meat, this is simply a waste of resources."
Ao Shan, who was standing by, was a little surprised. He didn't know much about these things...
I suddenly felt that my teacher was a little out of date and was still using traditional firearms.
"The 45-70 caliber Marlin M1895SBL lever-action rifle easily crushes large rocks."
"Large-caliber bullets have high kinetic energy and strong stopping power, and can quickly bring down large prey. In addition, they cause less damage to the prey's muscle tissue."
"The more famous one is the 45-70 rifle bullet. It is a slow and heavy bullet that kills prey with its powerful and heavy large-caliber bullet. It has a deep penetration and the bullet is not easy to expand and break. It can reduce the pain of the prey after being shot. It is a good choice for carnivorous hunting."
The drunk was completely silent.
Tanaka proudly picked up the cup on the table and drank a sip of water, then calmly said, "Only these powerful firearms can threaten brown bears. Others are useless. Aiming at the head from the front is definitely not the best option. Aiming at the soft heart and lungs from the side is the best option. If it's a primitive hunt, it's impossible for one person to do it."
A few drunks asked casually, but were shocked by this serious answer and looked at each other in surprise.
It seems like you met some extraordinary person?
They squinted their eyes and looked at Tanaka and the other man. The more they looked, the more familiar they seemed to me, and they exclaimed in surprise.
"Hiss, you, you are..."
"It looks so familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere."
Hearing this, Tanaka and Okuyama straightened their backs even more.
People live to show off.
Both of them are in their forties, but it is inevitable that they will have moments of pride, especially at times like this.
I have been killing bears for half my life, but I have never been as famous, admired and respected as I am today.
The new era is great.
Finally, one of the drunks suddenly realized what was going on and slammed the table, "It's Fujiwara and Takahashi, the ghost hunter duo!"
"Oh oh oh, I remember now, it's them!"
"You really make us Japanese proud! Come on, have one!"
"laugh!"
A low laugh came from not far away.
Tanaka and Okuyama turned around stiffly and saw the waiter beside them suddenly sitting up straight, and they couldn't hide the expressions on their faces.
“…”
On the other side, Bifang was already poisoning the darts and spears a second time.
Immerse the entire wooden tip of the dart in the concentrated venom of water hemlock. Once it has absorbed enough venom, take it out and rotate it a few times to prevent it from dripping. Wait for the surface to dry.
Next, he took out another dart and smeared it with the venom of the tiger-striped water snake.
Bifang did not make a mixed poison to avoid some unknown changes, but made them separately.
Although it seems complicated, the whole process is actually very quick. This is a secondary poisoning, not a primary poisoning.
At this moment, the brown bear did not stay there and keep throwing food. It simply turned over the soil, gnawed the last of the plant roots, and then walked away.
Bifang didn't catch up quickly, and judging from the existing traces in the forest, he would be able to catch up quickly.
After eating the rhizomes, the brown bear raised its head to capture the odor molecules in the air.
Seeing this, the audience was worried.
[Discovered? ]
[Isn’t it? ]
[Headwind or SF Express? ]
"It's against the wind. It must have discovered other prey." Bifang lowered his body even lower. He couldn't be careless when dealing with animals with a sense of smell like bears.
Not only was the wind against him, but his body was also covered in wood ash mixed with mud, leaves, and some pine needle juice, which completely covered up his body odor.
Even if it was a brown bear, the chances of discovering itself were slim.
The brown bear's subsequent behavior undoubtedly proved that what Bifang said was right. After sniffing for a while, the huge beast suddenly moved diagonally in front of Bifang with a very purposeful look.
Just at this moment, Bifang had finished poisoning and quietly followed behind the brown bear, wanting to see what this guy was going to do.
Once they chased him, they chased him for more than a mile!
During this period, the brown bear kept standing upright and watching, while the drone flying in the air could undoubtedly see farther.
Wild boar!
A wild boar was eating potatoes in the grass, unaware of the danger approaching.
Obviously, the brown bear's target was this wild boar.
[What the hell, I chased him for more than a mile, and he could still smell it? ]
[Isn't this sense of smell too sensitive? ]
But Bifang narrowed his eyes and found that things were not that simple. Without waiting for the audience to react, he retreated quickly and retreated to a distance of more than 60 meters.
[Fuck, what happened? ]
“Look up at the tree.”
The drone's camera moved around and quickly locked onto what Bifang was pointing at, instantly shocking the audience.
There was actually a black bear in the tree!
Can bears really climb trees?
The black bear in front of me is not small, with a body length of about 1.1 to 1.2 meters. But even so, it is very big . How can such a big bear climb a tree more than ten meters high?
But what is happening?
A wild boar is eating from under a black bear?
"In fact, there is evidence that black bears and wild boars have a more symbiotic relationship, especially when food is plentiful. In many areas, the two have formed a close, mutually beneficial relationship."
"When black bears climb trees to eat fruits, wild boars will quickly gather under the trees, or they will come here after the black bears leave."
Bifang speaks very fast, which is not uncommon.
People did not know about this and thought it was magical. After detailed research, they found that wild boars cannot climb trees, but the vibrations caused by black bears climbing trees and breaking branches can cause fruits or branches to fall to the ground, which the wild boars can pick up.
This scene made Bifang stop thinking about taking action immediately.
He wanted to give it a try and see if he could get the upper hand.
If he succeeds, he will be able to get a black bear and a brown bear in one fell swoop, and his total score may even exceed 30, leaving the others far behind.
Do brown bears hunt black bears?
The audience had , but Bifang was too busy to explain. At this moment, his attention was all on the three beasts in front of him.
The netizens also kept their eyes fixed on the group, temporarily suppressing them.
The black bear on the big tree had obviously discovered the presence of the brown bear and kept roaring on the tree, which soon alerted the wild boar that was eating happily under the tree.
Due to the lack of cartilage in its posterior spine, the wild boar could not see the brown bear behind the grass, but it could already smell the blood.
Almost at the moment of pause, the wild boar ran away!
But the brown bear moves faster, countless muscles are mobilized at the same time, bursting out with unparalleled power, as powerful as thunder!
