The little monkey has good insight, but hunting prey is not its forte.
If you really let the little monkey follow the scent and search bit by bit, it will probably be able to find it.
But it's just a rabbit, it's not worth wasting the time.
"Awang, look, there are a lot of rabbit droppings around here."
Chen Dazhuang suddenly said something and pointed to the grass on the ground nearby.
Chen Wang looked around and really saw a lot of rabbit feces, and a lot of them looked fresh.
Rabbits are rectal animals and have no sense of fullness. Theoretically, they can keep eating and pooping. Many times, they even eat and poop at the same time.
This is why they grow and reproduce quickly.
"There must be a lot of wild rabbits around here. Let's make some simple noose traps and check every time we pass by. Maybe we can catch a few every time."
Chen Wang suggested.
Chen Dazhuang's eyes lit up and he nodded, "Good idea."
Then, the two immediately began to look for places to set traps around.
Chen Dazhuang had taught them this simple noose trap.
In his previous life, Chen Wang had also watched some videos from wilderness survival experts that taught how to set this kind of trap.
First, step on the ground with a rope to get the smell of soil on it, which will help increase the chance of catching it.
Next, find a suitable small tree, fix one end of the rope to the tree, then make a sliding noose on the other end of the rope, find two small wooden sticks and insert them into the ground to support the noose.
It should be noted that the rope is about four fingers high from the ground, and the loop is about the size of a fist.
In this way, a fried egg trap is ready.
In fact, you can also sprinkle some carrots, vegetables or corn that rabbits like to eat around them, but I didn’t bring any today, so this is all I can do.
After working for about an hour, the two men set up more than a dozen traps within a few dozen meters.
Whenever a rabbit passes through this area, the chance of it being caught is very high.
"Brother Zhuang, it's almost done!"
Chen Wang patted the dirt off his hands and said to Chen Dazhuang who was not far away.
"Well, remember to bring some corn kernels next time."
Chen Dazhuang stood up and said.
Chen Wang nodded in agreement.
Although hares are not worth much, they are still meat after all. Moreover, this passive hunting method does not require them to exert too much effort.
From now on, you just need to bring some corn as bait, and check the trap every time you pass by here, and you can harvest cute little rabbits continuously.
"Let's go, and check it again when we return."
Chen Wang said with a smile.
Chen Dazhuang responded, and then the two of them left the area and continued to search for prey.
In order to make it easier to find his way around, Chen Wang named some special places himself.
For example, the place where they often hunted flying squirrels and dug out their nests was called the Flying Squirrel Forest by him.
For example, the place where three wild boars were killed before is called the Wild Boar Forest.
At this time, he named this area where traps were set to catch hares "Horse Forest".
After walking for a long time, the two men came out of the woods and came to the ravine where they had met the father and son of the Yang family from the neighboring village and killed two wild boars.
Of course, the wild boar forest that we saw last time was no longer visible in the ravine, and there seemed to be no other animals around.
The two walked along the ravine, searching the woods on both sides.
“Squeak!”
Suddenly, the little monkey sitting on Chen Wang’s shoulder cried out and looked towards the woods on the left.
The two men looked delighted and looked in the direction of sight, but they didn't see any prey.
"Let's go and take a closer look."
Chen Wang whispered.
Chen Dazhuang followed without saying a word.
Both believed in Jixiang's insight.
When the two men walked into the woods, Chen Wang accidentally stepped on a dead branch, making a crisp sound. At that moment, an animal like a deer jumped out from behind a tree not far ahead and fled forward at a rapid pace.
It was a roe deer, its fur the same yellow as the surrounding dead grass, making it difficult for the two men to detect it with the naked eye when it was motionless just now.
"It's a stupid roe deer. Awang, you go chase it, I'll stay here!"
Chen Dazhuang shouted excitedly.
There are some explanations why the silly roe deer has this derogatory name.
For example, when a hunter is chasing a roe deer, it may turn around and be caught by the hunter even though it has apparently escaped after being scared away.
This is because roe deer will move around in a fixed area for a period of time. When frightened, they will escape to a place they think is safe, and then return to the area where they live and forage, and thus fall into the hands of hunters.
This is also why Chen Dazhuang let Chen Wang go after them, while he stayed behind to guard.
