One shot and one nest
Half an hour later, the leopard's limbs and claws were tied up by the hunters who came over.
As for the tour guide and the person in charge, they apologized to Chu Mingcheng and said that this time their consumption in the reserve would be free of charge.
The person in charge of the reserve also presented an additional intact leopard skin and giraffe skin.
Later, the group soon learned the reason why the leopard appeared near the tent.
There were some bite wounds on its body. Judging from the time of the wounds, they should have occurred in the past few days.
From the animal experts in the reserve, we learned that this was a female leopard that had just grown up. She failed to compete for territory and ended up here.
In fact, there are hunters patrolling around the tent house at various times every day. It was a coincidence that this leopard appeared just after their patrol.
In addition, these wild animals generally do not attack people. It is mainly the dogs that attract the leopard's attention.
Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo couldn't deny this, and were surprised that there had been no accidents on their side for so many years.
In the end, they accepted the apology. After all, what if they didn't accept it? They spent time hiring international lawyers to file a lawsuit against them for compensation?
They don't have that time!
I accepted the apology and asked them to take the dogs away and take care of them.
In the African savannah, these two products are very delicious dog meat, at the bottom of the food chain.
The next day, Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo took an off-road vehicle to the true route of the Great Migration according to their itinerary.
"Moo~"
"Mea~"
As soon as you catch sight of it, there are hundreds of thousands or even millions of wildebeests, mixed with hundreds of thousands of zebras and antelopes, heading north with great momentum.
A rough grassland smell hit their faces. The cameras in Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo's hands kept clicking. Even they probably only saw this spectacular scene once.
These animals are not afraid of visiting vehicles at all and seem to be used to them.
But the source of their danger lies in the hunting animals that roam nearby.
Chu Mingcheng was lucky and happened to encounter a group of lions preparing to hunt.
There were only five lionesses in the pride that came out to hunt. However, the wildebeest that far outnumbered them all rushed to escape. This was a fear engraved in our bones!
Soon, the lions selected a target and launched an attack.
A wildebeest with an injured leg seemed to be their target. It just ran a little slower and was finally knocked down by a lioness. The surrounding lionesses ran over and swarmed it.
"Nature is so cruel!" Jiang Luoluo couldn't help but sigh when she saw the lions hunting at close range.
At this moment, the car has arrived next to the lions and is very close. The distance between the two sides is only more than 20 meters. It is estimated that the lioness can jump up in just a few seconds.
However, the lionesses seemed completely accustomed to the cars and ignored them at all.
"So reincarnation is a science!" Chu Mingcheng shook his head and teased.
Rather than envying those who were born in Rome, he felt that he was lucky enough to be born as a healthy person.
Next, they came to a riverside and watched the crocodile's feast.
Tanzania is a beautiful and diverse country with some of the best wildlife habitats.
The country's relatively small population has made it a paradise for wildlife, with a large number of protected areas.
Because of the diverse terrain, there are also many types of wild animals here.
Three-quarters of Tanzania is wilderness, which is a paradise for hunting enthusiasts.
After admiring the animal migration, Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo set off for the hunting camp.
This is still a tent house, and it is not as luxurious as the previous tent house.
There are only beds and simple wardrobe arrangements inside, but fortunately there are still separate toilets and bathrooms.
The last entertainment project in the reserve is hunting, and they have prepared ten days of hunting for tourists.
Each hunter's prey is fixed, which are a leopard, an African bison, an East African zebra and a Nile crocodile.
In addition, guinea fowl and partridges can be hunted without limit.
They also have supporting animal skin processing services. For example, zebra and leopard skins can be processed into leather products, which are easy to take away and store.
Of course, you can also sell the prey to them directly to get some blood back.
The price is naturally very cheap. With Chu Mingcheng and his friends traveling around the world, they can definitely bring things to Europe and the United States and sell them at high prices.
The prey hunted here all have relevant legal certificates, so it is no problem to sell them in some countries where it is legal to trade.
Unfortunately, China's policy restrictions prevent them from taking their things back.
The day of hunting officially began. In the morning, after it got dark, Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo had breakfast, then picked up the firearms and ammunition they rented yesterday and started hunting.
"What prey do you want to hunt first?" asked the hunter who was leading the way.
Different prey live in different locations, and tourists need to make their own decisions before hunters can take them out to find prey.
Chu Mingcheng thought for a moment. Bison, zebra and Nile crocodile are all animals that live in groups, and their whereabouts are very easy to find.
On the contrary, adult male leopards are solitary and their whereabouts are relatively hidden.
"Let's hunt the leopard first, the prey later will be easier."
Jiang Luoluo's only interests are guinea fowl and partridges. As long as he has time to hunt these two prey, everything else is easy.
Therefore, Chu Mingcheng specially rented a shotgun for her. When she fired the shot, the bullets dispersed into one piece. As long as she aimed at the position of the prey, she could basically hit it.
Most shotguns are like this, which can give tourists a very good experience.
However, Chu Mingcheng rented a single-shot shotgun, which is more powerful and suitable for hunting large prey.
"It's okay to look for leopards first. Leopards are indeed not easy to encounter. Some tourists hunt other prey first. At the end of the game, they don't have enough time to find the leopards, so they have to give up." The hunter nodded and agreed.
.
As for other prey, leopards do not hunt casually.
Female and minor leopards are not allowed to hunt, only adult male leopards are hunting targets.
Of course, basically there are records of leopards in Tanzania, and they will often control the balance between the two.
When there are too many female leopards, they will also choose to let tourists hunt some of them.
There are a lot of female leopards this year, so they can target females that are not pregnant or have babies.
The driver drove the hunting car on the prairie. After about three hours, they came to an area with dense trees.
The hunter stopped the driver and picked up his binoculars to observe. Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo did the same.
I saw two guinea fowls with blue faces and red crowns, and fat black bodies covered with small white dots. They were paying attention to them with their heads raised, as if they were ready to escape at any time.
"Guinea fowl!" Jiang Luoluo was immediately excited. Unexpectedly, he met the guinea fowl when he arrived. It was a complete surprise.
The distance between the hunting car and the guinea fowl is about fifty meters, which is within the range of the shotgun.
Jiang Luoluo lowered his binoculars, took out his shotgun and got out of the car to aim.
Yesterday when she rented a gun, she learned how to use it and tried firing a few more shots. She knew how to use it.
Anyway, the gun is rented and the bullets need to be purchased by yourself. Not to mention letting her fire a few more shots, Chu Mingcheng spent almost the whole afternoon playing with it yesterday.
"Bang~"
The sound was not very loud, but Jiang Luoluo, who was holding the gun, took two steps back because of the recoil of the gun.
This was also the reason why she only fired a few shots yesterday afternoon. The recoil was a bit too strong for her and her shoulders hurt.
"Wow, I'm hit!" Jiang Luoluo stretched out his head and took a look. He didn't find the guinea fowl that had escaped. Instead, he saw one lying motionless on the ground, and he immediately jumped up happily.
"Not bad, not bad, we have harvested on the first day." Chu Mingcheng was also very satisfied, then got out of the car and walked over to collect the prey.
An adult guinea fowl weighs about three pounds, which is very suitable for an ordinary family's daily meal.
This thing is a very common ingredient in Tanzania, just like old hens in China.
However, when they walked over, they were surprised to find that there was more than one lying on the ground.
The two they saw were probably on guard duty, but there were actually three more at this location.
In other words, Jiang Luoluo shot a brood of guinea fowls here and brought them to the brood one by one, leaving a smile on her happy face all the time.
Carrying five guinea fowl back to the hunting car, she was satisfied today.
No leopard was found here, so the hunter asked the driver to continue driving and search along the forest range to the east.
He told Chu Mingcheng and the two that this was the territory of an older female leopard. Because there were too many young female leopards, these older ones would be artificially eliminated.
Neither of them were Virgins and had no reaction to this.
Maybe Jiang Luoluo would have sympathized with him in the past, but since she followed Chu Mingcheng to kill fish, she has unknowingly taken a dim view of such things.
