Chapter 62 Obtain a hunting license and build a traditional bow
Zheng Yuanpeng saw that Su Ran was serious and didn't seem to be joking: "Okay, I'll take you to the county right away."

After changing his clothes, he told his colleague before leaving: "Shengli, I'm going to take my brother to the county to get a certificate first. You stay at the station and keep an eye on it for me."

"Yeah, go ahead."

Not everyone can hunt wild boars. The first thing is to obtain relevant hunting certificates.

This matter was handled by the county forestry department. Zheng Yuanpeng drove Su Ran to find the relevant person in charge.

"Changhai, I've brought someone to you. Come out and take a look." Zheng Yuanpeng shouted outside the office window.

Xiong Changhai opened the window and took a look: "Isn't this Brother Peng? What's the matter?"

"Come out and take a look. You are staying inside." Zheng Yuanpeng waved his hand and smiled at Su Ran, "This kid is just so slow."

Xiong Changhai pushed open the office door and walked out.

Zheng Yuanpeng patted Su Ran on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Let me introduce you, this is our Daqing celebrity, little brother Su Ran."

"What's going on? The higher-ups are worried about the wild boars in the forest. I heard about it and I'm planning to volunteer to go up the mountain to hunt."

Xiong Changhai looked at Su Ran and said, "I have heard of him, little brother. Is he the only one?"

Hunting alone is not called hunting. Su Ran smiled and said, "Does it count if there is another wolf?"

"I think that's a bit scary," Xiong Changhai reminded, "This wild boar hunting is no joke. Do you have a hunting license and a gun license? If not, you can't use a hunting rifle."

“I really don’t have that.”

Although Su Ran is a forest ranger, it does not mean that he has a hunting license. Even if he wants to own a hunting rifle for self-defense, he must take a civilian gun license.

Su Ran did not take back the hunting rifle from Gao Jian because he thought it was troublesome to verify it.

"If you don't have a hunting rifle, you won't be able to catch a wild boar with just traps and sticks." Xiong Changhai was a little depressed. Mainly, after thinking about it, he felt that safety was the most important thing.

Zheng Yuanpeng came out to help, "Changhai, I'm not saying this to you, brother. Aren't you looking down on my brother? With his skills, is it necessary to use a shotgun? Didn't you see how he knocked down three wild boars with just two clicks of his bare hands?"

Xiong Changhai's eyes widened, wondering if this was possible?

Su Ran smiled with a bitter look on his face.

He finally understood that Zheng Yuanpeng was not a person who liked to brag, but he liked to brag for others.

When Su Ran encountered the three wild boar brothers in the forest, he just relied on the force of Tai Chi to throw one of the wild boars away. It was not as exaggerated as what Zheng Yuanpeng said now, that he knocked down three wild boars with bare hands.

However, Xiong Changhai was really frightened by Zheng Yuanpeng: "Okay, I'll take you to get the certificate."

Zheng Yuanpeng smiled happily and patted Su Ran on the back: "Go quickly, brother."

It is actually not that difficult to obtain a hunting license, especially for someone like Su Ran who already has a certain understanding of forest hunting rules.

The main purpose is to test hunting knowledge and skills, as well as understanding of the distribution and habits of wild animals.

The purpose of this test is to ensure the safety and legality of personal hunting.

Why does the country require a license to do anything now? Having a license can at least ensure that individuals will not act recklessly in certain ways.

Because we know that doing so is illegal, there are certain restrictions.

Moreover, it is easier to hold individuals accountable if they are certified before taking up their posts.

If you really do something illegal, it will be difficult to run away.

Anyway, you need a certificate to do anything now, and Su Ran can't say whether it's a fuck or not. Anyway, he is just a child from an ordinary family, and he will always be right if he follows the rules.

Su Ran himself is a forest ranger in Linhai, and he easily obtained a small hunting license.

Before leaving, Xiong Changhai reminded him: "You can come to get your license the day after tomorrow, and then you can go up the mountain. But I still remind you, brother, it will be safer to have the right hunting weapons, and they must be legal."

"Row."

On the way back in Zheng Yuanpeng's car, Su Ran, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said, "Brother Peng, can you do me a favor? I want to buy two pieces of elm wood from the forest farm. I plan to make a bow." Zheng Yuanpeng said straightforwardly, "Since you have this need, don't even mention buying it. I'll apply for two pieces of wood for you when the time comes."

Brother Peng is very efficient and the elm wood materials were delivered around five in the afternoon.

They are all about two meters of wood with straight fibers and no cracks.

Su Ran plans to make a traditional bow for hunting wild boars.

It’s not that he has a hunting rifle but doesn’t want to use it. If he really wants to get a gun license, it won’t take too much time for him. The main reason is that Su Ran feels that a bow and arrow is more useful to him than a hunting rifle.

At present, the hunting rifles equipped by Linhai forest rangers are all old-fashioned double-barreled shotguns, which are quite powerful.

Because the bullets are spread out, with a diffusion radius of one meter, as long as the prey is shot within 10 meters, it can be killed instantly.

However, it is difficult to kill an adult wild boar with a large body and thick skin with one shot.

What Su Ran wanted more was to either miss the target or die if he hit the target.

My grandfather used to use a bow when hunting in the mountains, so Su Ran is quite familiar with the traditional bow. People who can use a bow can often unleash greater power than a hunting rifle.

As long as the accuracy is good enough, an arrow can penetrate the wild boar's head or heart, and the boar won't even have a chance to struggle.

Of course, this only applies to a small number of people, because in most cases, shotguns are far superior to bows and arrows in terms of power and ease of use.

"Actually, if you really want to make a bow, purple is the best, but elm can also be used."

The purple yew is actually the yew, but now the yew is a first-class rare and endangered protected plant, and it has a history of 250 million years on Earth!
A veritable plant panda.

Even if Su Ran was given one for free, he would not use it.

That's such a waste of things.

The two elm trees had been stored in the warehouse for a long time and had already dried. They were also painted with shellac, which just saved Su Ran the trouble of waiting for the raw materials to dry naturally.

The process of making a bow and arrow is long, but it also makes for great live streaming material.

It was also because of this opportunity that Su Ran, who usually doesn’t do live broadcasts, turned on his mobile phone specifically.

The netizens who flocked into the live broadcast room immediately saw the two pieces of wood and were curious about what Su Ran was going to do.

Su Ran also said directly: "Make a traditional bow and go up the mountain to hunt wild boars."

I didn’t expect that Su Ran could also make bows, and netizens immediately became interested.

Su Ran put his phone aside and started working hard.

Su Ran found two wedges and used them to drive into the wood alternately. This alternating embedding method can best ensure that the wood splits along the fiber direction and is also more labor-saving.

After using a wedge to create a crack, a log was quickly split in two by simply driving an axe into the crack.

This is a trick. Netizens originally thought that it would take Su Ran a long time to split the wood, but they didn't expect it to be so easy and fast.

"learned."

"It turns out that Brother Su is also a carpenter."

"No, Brother Su is really the Almighty God!"

Su Ran planned to use half of it to make a traditional bow.

It often takes several months or even a year to polish a good bow, and Su Ran couldn't wait to use it.

Two pieces of wood can be split into four pieces of material, which can be used to make four bows. One piece can be made temporarily to be used for a few days, and the remaining material can be kept for slowly polishing into a good bow later.

Chen Sisi's grandfather used to be a carpenter, so the house has axes, bird planes, woodworking files, sandpaper, calipers, tape measures, and band saws.

These things are indispensable for carpentry work, but Su Ran was still a little worried when looking at the tools on the ground: "It won't work without the horse press and the bow training stand."
