A qualified hunter can determine the identity of the prey by its footprints and track it.
After taking a closer look, Joseph could confirm that it was a bear, a North American brown bear.
Four types of bears can generally be seen in the Maple Leaf Country. Polar bears only live near the Arctic Circle, Kermode bears are rare, and the common black bears are smaller and mainly vegetarian. The larger brown bears are true carnivores.
There are tens of thousands of this kind of brown bear in the Maple Leaf Country. It is not an endangered species. The government sells hunting tickets because of its large number.
"There was no wind last night, so the footprints might not be fresh. Should we catch up and take a look?"
"OK!"
When we get to the wild, we have to listen to Joseph. This was agreed upon beforehand. The group followed the footprints and soon found a pile of animal feces.
"This guy eats a lot, such a big lump."
Xia Yu couldn't help but complain.
"That's right. After all, the resources here are so abundant that we don't have to worry about food even if we don't hibernate."
Brown bears are at the top of the North American food chain. Cougars and gray wolves cannot withstand a single blow from them. Their only natural enemies are hunters with guns.
"Continue chasing?"
"Chase, let's get off to a good start!"
The group continued to chase, but they didn't catch the brown bear. Instead, they found a dead deer that had been eaten to the point that only the bones were left.
Is this eating right after pooping? No wonder you have such a good appetite.
"The crops look fresh, so they should be nearby, no more than five kilometers away."
Joseph judged with a firm tone.
"etc!"
Xia Yu suddenly interrupted, the White Reaper Buff enhancing his perception of danger.
He seemed to feel that something was watching them. Turning his head slightly, he met the eyes of a pair of cold vertical pupils.
"Dong~~"
Xia Yu raised his gun and shot, as if it was an instinct.
A No. 12 single-barreled bullet flew across a distance of just fifty meters and penetrated the chest of a big cat.
"Oh, Jesus, that was a mountain lion, you killed a mountain lion!"
Joseph said in surprise as he looked in the direction where Xia Yu's gun barrel was pointing.
"Damn, you're more of a hunter than I am."
"No, no, no, I'm just a restaurant owner."
Xia Yu said modestly that he was just a restaurant owner who could hunt for his own ingredients.
It wasn't because the Joseph brothers were unprofessional that they didn't notice the lurking mountain lion in the first place, but because Xia Yu was too fast. He killed the prey so quickly that they didn't even have time to react.
"It looks to be about 70 kilograms. It was an adult male mountain lion. The wound is intact. It hit the heart, but it didn't cause two holes."
Arriving at the dead mountain lion, Joseph began to examine the body.
"Do you want to skin it or stuff it?"
"Skin it, I find specimens creepy."
Xia Yu said without thinking much.
"Okay, David, you stay alert and I'll skin you."
Joseph put down his gun and backpack and took out a skinning knife.
A good hunter must be good at skinning, but Xia Yu is not very good at this. He is better at finding prey, pulling the trigger, ending their lives, and then using their meat to cook delicious food and thank nature for the gift.
Strictly speaking, this seems to be game?
Xia Yu couldn't help but think when he saw the clearly defined muscles of the puma after it was skinned.
Then you need to cook it more often. High temperature can kill the virus, and you also need to add more onions, ginger and garlic.
Xia Yu has no interest in wild game, but foreign laws stipulate that the meat of the prey must be taken away.
As long as it complies with regulations and isn't too exotic, high-temperature cooking is fine. Beware of rodents, which can easily become intermediate hosts for viruses, and stay as far away as possible. After all, they have a criminal record.
"I'll find a professional manufacturer to handle the leather, and I'll send it to you once all the formalities are completed."
The fur needs to be nitrated. Even if it is done in time, Xia Yu cannot take it away without the documents. He can only ask Joseph to mail it across the country when the time comes.
"Okay, if we kill a brown bear later, we'll do the same thing."
The most valuable part of a whole brown bear is its skin, which would be very useful for making a bear skin rug.
After removing the skin, the only thing left of the brown bear is its edible value. It seems that bear meat is canned in foreign countries, but Xia Yu thinks this is a bit of a waste of resources.
He has 108 different ways to cook bear meat, and none of them can be used in China, so one can only go abroad and adapt to local customs.
"No need to eat dry food for lunch, we can cook here."
After butchering the lion, Joseph wiped his bloody hands with snow and said.
"No problem. Your skills will be shown at noon, and mine will be shown when we hunt the bear."
This time, Xia Yu did not seize the opportunity to perform, after all, he had no idea how the big cat would cook.
"Brother, how did you find the mountain lion?"
Jiang Baiying was not frightened by the bloody scene in front of her, but instead asked Xia Yu about the details.
"intuition."
To be more precise, it's the intuition of the god of death.
"Have you ever heard the saying, 'When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back into you?' This mountain lion clearly picked the wrong target."
Xia Yu is no longer an abyss, he is a black hole. Anyone who dares to spy on him is courting death.
"I see, you're amazing, senior. I was so nervous back then."
"Don't be nervous. Didn't I tell you? As long as the senior is here, you'll be absolutely safe."
Xia Yu was not bragging, he was telling the truth.
Guns, brains, and the consciousness of a top predator, in addition to the will of nature, he is the king of ice and snow, the white death.
David put down his gun and joined his brother, while Xia Yu stood up and was on guard. After all, dangers were everywhere in the wild.
As noon approached, the aroma of barbecue gradually spread.
Joseph roughly strung the puma's legs into large skewers, marinated them and roasted them directly over the fire. He chopped off the long tail and stewed it into a pot of lion tail soup.
"I was originally planning to make lion's penis soup. One of your Chinese customers taught me how to make it. He said it's very nutritious, but since the lady is here, I won't make it anymore. I'll take some time off and bring it back to you."
After serving the stewed soup, Joseph gave Xia Yu a look that all men understood.
"Thank you so much."
Glancing at Jiang Baiying, Xia Yu lowered his voice and spoke.
Fortunately, Joseph didn't stew it, otherwise what would he do if the effect suddenly came out? He couldn't do such a beastly thing.
"Xiao Jiang, come over for lunch!"
“Here I come!”
Xia Yu took a large skewer of barbecue and handed it directly to Jiang Baiying, and took another skewer for himself.
He took a bite and found the meat to be of good quality except that it was a little sour. This showed that the mountain lion he had killed was in its prime. If it was too old, the meat would have been very tough.
After taking another sip of the soup, Xia Yu felt that it tasted very fresh, the kind of fresh that comes from Lu Xian.
Oxtail soup has the effect of replenishing qi and nourishing blood, so lion's tail soup should have similar effects, right?
Thinking of this, Xia Yu pulled off a whole skewer of meat and picked up another one to continue chewing.
