Chapter 2 (2/2)

You can do without a bow or a knife, but you can't do without a hound.

This is the first hunting experience that the old Andes mountain folk Hunter taught his son or apprentice. To be exact, the survival experience is because the consequences of not bringing a hound are not only related to the amount of prey to harvest, but also often they can't bring back their own lives.Dogs with keen senses are more likely to find not only prey, but also predators, especially at night.

Experienced Andes mountain people will not easily camp in the mountains without hounds.

Sean's Hound pack is made up of three Andes, three long haired and six wolfhounds, which are large even among Andes mountain folk hunters.

Not every dog can be a hound, and the potential loss during hunting means that to maintain such a large hunting population, it is necessary to have more than twice the number of spare dogs (usually composed of two-thirds of puppies and one-third of adult dogs).

Even if it is in free range, the dogs will solve part of the food by themselves, but fixed feeding is still indispensable. If the link of establishing feelings is missing, the dogs will not be raised, but wild dogs.

This is the price that Sean often likes to hunt alone. There must be more than two bases of various types of dogs in a pack to prevent one from getting hurt or dying.

If there are many people hunting, it will not be so troublesome. Each person with three or four dogs can form a huge, fully functional hunting dog group.

Once the number of hounds exceeds three digits, all animals in the mountain range have to give up, including the usually arrogant slave hunters. However, such scenes are not common, and the efficiency is not high. Only in the year of hunting large-scale hunters and the flood of prey, will it appear.

Andes mountain folk hunters usually prefer small hunting teams based on their families. In the end, a small number of people like Sean like to act alone. People who like to do so are either extremely confident or have their own secrets. Both Shaun and Shawn are involved in both, and they are not counted as such.

This time, he was not hunting alone. Behind the pack of hounds, he was followed by more than a dozen people, more than a dozen and a half boys. The oldest one looked only a year or two younger than Sean, and the youngest was seven or eight years old.

Running in the mountains like flying, he is obviously an old hand. While running, he sends out a strange cry of ”Lotus”. With the hounds, he creates the illusion that the injured Andes bear is full of enemies in all directions.

In front of the hounds that are good at tracking, the injured Andes bear has no chance to escape. It is surrounded by hounds in an open area by a swift stream three kilometers away from the boulder trap.

At ordinary times, this mountain stream less than 10 meters wide will not cause any trouble to the Andes bear, but after losing nearly one-third of its body's blood and falling into a state of extreme weakness, it has become an insurmountable obstacle.

Several attempts to cross the stream were blocked by the hounds. The cold water accelerated the heat loss of his body, and each attempt only made him weaker.

Wang! Wang! Wang!

The hounds form a huge circle around the Andes bear and attack in turn.

If we observe them carefully, we will find that their attack is not a wild bite, but a reasonable division of labor and hierarchy.

The twelve hounds were clearly divided into three groups, each consisting of an Andes, a long haired and two wolfhounds.

Each attack is launched by the Andes hound. If the Andes bear's attention is attracted by it, it swims away and turns away.

The hounds in this small group will take the opportunity to attack from the side or behind of the Andes bear. If the Andes bear does not notice him, it will launch a substantive attack, and make full use of the truth and falsehood to give people the illusion that the attack will always come from behind or on the side of the Andes bear.

The attack style of hounds is not the same as that of their close relatives wolves. Especially when dealing with large prey, the hounds seldom rush to bite and bite. They are more likely to bite or pat.

It is not so much killing the prey as attracting their attention to lure them to launch an attack. This is to maximize the consumption of the prey's physical strength while waiting for the hunter. If the prey is injured, it will accelerate its blood loss speed, so as to achieve the purpose of laying down the prey.

The reason for this difference is that hounds have a deadly weapon that wolves don't have - hunters.

In hundreds of years of common hunting life, hounds have gradually changed their hunting habits.

But once back in the wilderness, it won't take long for the hounds to return to the wolf pack.
