In recent years, with the continuous improvement of the ecological environment, the growing population of wild boar has become a flooding trend, which endangers the safety of people's lives and property. Beichuan, Qingchuan, Chaotian and Tongjiang have been listed as pilot counties for the prevention and control of wild boars in the province, and recently, hunting operations have been launched in various places.
On November 12, cover news field investigation of the prevention and control measures, results, and dilemmas faced by Tongjiang County, Bazhong City, aroused the attention of the whole network, and the number of video manuscripts read quickly exceeded 100 million. The two topics of "how to improve the efficiency of hunting" and "it is a pity that all wild boar meat is buried" have become the focus of heated discussion among netizens.
The trapper said
A Don't rush without a shotgun
The Mianyang River Oil Hunting and Rescue Center is currently the only professional team in Sichuan with a gun license. Recently, they have been invited to Tongjiang and Beichuan to carry out hunting operations.
Cheng Tao, who is over 50 years old, is the head of the center, he has dealt with wild boars for more than thirty years and is a senior hunter. Cheng Tao repeatedly warned in an interview with the cover news reporter: Do not act hastily without a shotgun. In some places, the primitive tactic of long knife siege and slashing is acceptable to deal with smaller wild boars, but if it encounters a larger one, it is extremely dangerous. When shooting, choose a good angle, it is best to shoot dead, because after the wild boar is injured, it will often turn back in place, see people arch people see cars arch cars, brute force is amazing. The 8 wild boars hunted in Tongjiang County this time were all killed by one shot.
Guns are undoubtedly the most important factor in determining the effectiveness of hunting. Cheng Tao's team has more than 10 guns, some of which are imported from Italy and Russia, and the firepower is fierce, which is enviable. Tongjiang County has declared 6 hunting teams, and their greatest hope is to apply for shotguns for one of the teams.
B Hounds are the most important companions
Tracking and rounding up wild boars is inseparable from excellent hounds. "Ordinary hounds, rabbits, chamois, and wild boars, they will not be useful, but they will be bitten to death by wild boars." Cheng Tao's team has more than 60 hounds, most of which were imported from Liangshan Prefecture and some from abroad. These hounds, one in a hundred, or even one in a thousand, are naturally valuable, and the price of each head ranges from 40,000 to 50,000 yuan to more than 100,000 yuan.
Even so, on the morning of November 11, while his team was hunting in Beichuan, Mianyang, a hound dog that had just been imported from abroad and was worth 60,000 yuan was unfortunately killed. "Surrounded by wild boars, his body was bitten in two." After hearing this news, Cheng Tao was very distressed, this is the fourth hound that the team has died this year, in addition, there are several hounds in the family that have not healed from injuries.
C This is the best time to hunt
From July to October, corn and sweet potatoes are ripe, and it is also the most active time for wild boars, they go down the mountain to nibble corn and arch sweet potatoes, and frequently enter the sight of villagers. This is a golden opportunity to hunt wild boars, and Cheng Tao disagrees with this common view, believing that the present is the best time to hunt.
Cheng Tao said that in July and August, the weather was extremely hot, people stayed indoors and did not want to move, and the physical strength of hounds could not keep up, and what was important was that their sense of smell was significantly reduced due to high temperatures. At the same time, the forest is leafy, the line of sight in the forest is not good, and the wild boar has no choice but to enter the mountain. In winter, the leaves of the forest fall off, the forest has a clear view, and once the wild boar appears, it is difficult to escape.
Forestry sector
Harmlessly treated wild boar meat can be used as feed
On November 8, the staff of the Animal Health Supervision Institute of Tongjiang County disinfected the wild boars they killed with quicklime, layer by layer of lime and layer of soil, and dug a deep pit on the spot to bury it. One of the wild boars, carried by four strong men, was fat and strong, with more than 200 pounds.
"What a delicious dish of wild boar meat!" Netizens posted a variety of cooking methods, "you can smell the fragrance across the screen" "If 750 heads are buried, it is a pity." Some netizens quipped: "It's just a violent thing!"
In this regard, Li Bin, director of the Tongjiang County Wildlife Conservation Center, said that there are clear legal provisions that strictly prohibit the consumption of wild animals. Wild boars that are killed must be disposed of in accordance with standard procedures. In the case of a relatively large amount of killing, after strict inspection and quarantine, after being processed by professional departments, it can be processed into animal feed and used effectively.
