Chapter 27: How to Hunt North American Grizzly Bears


In the Yukon Territory, North American grizzly bears are not protected.

They are abundant here and often enter human habitation areas, especially those township regions.

Many Yukon Town areas have bear hunters.

They are well-armed, experienced, and specialize in hunting down grizzly bears that cause trouble in human habitation areas.

But Chen Wen never expected that Hua Yun also wanted to get a taste of being a bear hunter.

"Is your bow and arrow powerful enough?"

Chen Wen didn't refuse.

Hua Yun thought for a moment and said, "Within fifty meters, if we hit a vital spot, it should be able to threaten it."

"Fifty meters... Grizzly bears' sense of smell and hearing won't give us such close hunting opportunities."

Chen Wen shook his head, feeling a bit troubled.

But at this moment, he remembered a scene where Liu Yu once hunted a brown bear.

Chen Wen's eyes brightened and he said, "But we can try to lure the grizzly bear to actively approach us."

At this point, Hua Yun couldn't help but say, "Actually, there's no need to lure it. Once it sees us, it will absolutely charge at us without hesitation."

A hungry grizzly bear's first reaction upon seeing humans is definitely hunting.

"True, but just attracting it on the plains is rather dangerous. If one of your arrows doesn't kill it, and it gets a chance to struggle, we'll be in great danger."

Chen Wen said, "Animals' death throes are extremely fierce!"

No one understands this point better than Chen Wen.

Teaching people directly often fails, while letting events teach leaves a lasting lesson.

Back when he was young and inexperienced, educated by the Black Panther teacher once.

Chen Wen could never forget that in his lifetime.

If he hadn't decided to risk his life, he might've been the one who died.

"So?"

Hua Yun looked at Chen Wen, feeling Chen Wen already had a plan.

Chen Wen continued where Hua Yun left off, "So we still need to lure it, attracting it over with bait, while we hide in a place it can't attack."

What place can't a grizzly bear attack?

Hua Yun paused for a moment and said, "Unless we can fly, otherwise grizzly bears can attack anywhere!"

Brown bears are not like commonly understood.

They don't eat dead bodies, have poor eyesight, can't climb trees...

Quite the opposite!

As one of the top land predators, brown bears have incredibly robust physical capabilities.

They are omnivores, eat anything, and have pretty good eyesight, their tree-climbing speed definitely faster than humans.

Places humans can reach barehanded, they definitely can reach; places humans can't reach, they can still reach!

That's brown bears!

Top carnivorous predators!

North American grizzly bears are a subspecies of brown bears, and their traits are very similar to brown bears.

So the idea of hiding in a place a grizzly bear can't attack is largely flawed.

"I mean, we could hide in a tree."

Before Hua Yun could speak, Chen Wen quickly explained, "I know, North American grizzly bears can climb trees, but we can completely hide on a platform."

"That way, we can stay on the platform, waiting to strike, able to shoot grizzly bears up close, and can also ensure ourselves away from the ground."

"I'll watch the platform's sides, preventing the grizzly bear from getting onto the platform."

Chen Wen's words made Hua Yun pause for a moment.

She thought about it and said, "This plan seems doable; if it really attracts the grizzly bear and we can remain unscathed, hunting it should be quite easy."

"But how do you plan to lure it?"

Chen Wen pondered for a moment and pointed at the nearby white-tailed deer bones, "Burn the bones!"

"Start a fire over there, fill it with white-tailed deer bones. Once burnt, the bones will have a very fragrant smell, and these scents will attract it."

Hua Yun thought for a moment and pointed out the plan's flaw, "The smell might be so strong, it might attract other predators."

"It's no problem; grizzly bears have a very strong territorial consciousness, this river valley is its old nest. If other predators are attracted, it will be more anxious than us."

Chen Wen said nonchalantly, "When they fight like the snipe and the clam, we'll reap the benefits like the fisherman!"

"Alright."

Hua Yun agreed.

She emphatically said, "Let's not worry about it today; I'll rest first. Tomorrow, we'll set the bait and hunt the grizzly bear!"

...

This girl really has a heavy murderous aura!

Watching Hua Yun crawl into the shelter, Chen Wen couldn't help but think.

Just now when Hua Yun was speaking, that fierce aura maybe was even greater than a grizzly bear.

What did this bear do to provoke her?

But the grizzly bear's entry should be top-tier, right?

This thing doesn't have special abilities, but its pure stats are high!

Whether it's strength or speed, grizzly bears are fiercely powerful.

In terms of perception, they have top predator senses.

Their physical hardware is also intensely strong, that digestive ability is definitely more formidable than enhanced digestion.

Not to mention the transformation entry.

If this thing could explode with a transformation entry, it would be an absolute must-pick!

Turn into a grizzly bear, grow wings, and add a human brain.

Wouldn't that make oneself invincible on land!

Thinking of this, Chen Wen couldn't help but chuckle.

...

Their plan to hunt the grizzly bear was quickly learned by their assistants.

"Hunt a grizzly bear? Is that reliable?"

Qi Yang on night duty asked somewhat surprised.

Jiang Chang said without hesitation, "Very reliable! Chen Wen can definitely do it!"

This comment made Qi Yang burst into laughter.

"Believe me, uncle, Chen Wen is very good at creating miracles. Besides, he could kill such a big bay crocodile, let alone a grizzly bear."

Jiang Chang was indifferent.

Ever since watching Chen Wen's survival experience, she had completely become Chen Wen's fan.

She unconditionally believed in Chen Wen.

Qi Yang shook his head without saying much.

But in his heart, he didn't think much of their action.

The bear, Qi Yang had seen, even had a standoff with one.

But to say hunting bears, Qi Yang didn't dare.

Not because of fear, but because of the absolute gap between humans and bears.

Only relying on a Recurve Bow might injure the grizzly bear, but definitely not kill it!

And the consequence of injuring a bear.

Qi Yang subconsciously rubbed his belly; underneath the thick clothes, hid a few hideous scars!

...

The next morning.

After waking Hua Yun, Chen Wen went alone to the river to get water.

Along the way, Chen Wen saw many animals.

Even brushed past a moose herd.

"Moose are really huge!"

Chen Wen looked at the enormous moose and couldn't help but say.

In this deer herd, there was an extremely large male moose.

Chen Wen felt its size was close to three meters!

And that pair of antlers were also quite large!

Those flat, shovel-like antlers looked quite intimidating.

"If we could tame a moose to pull a sled, the path ahead would be much easier."

Chen Wen said this but didn't approach the herd.

Approaching now, wouldn't that be looking to pick a fight?

"Moose, reindeer, if we could tame these two types of deer, it would save a lot of effort. We need to remember this."

After fetching water, Hua Yun also woke.

The two had a simple breakfast—smoked jerky + hot pine needle tea.

The plan for today was extremely simple—hunt grizzly bears!
