hunting

I am an outdoor enthusiast who loves hunting, as do my two friends Neil Macaulay and Kenneth Chamberlain. Last month, we decided to go hunting in Longyan, Fujian, China to experience a different culture and scenery. We planned to explore the wildlife in Longyan National Forest Park and enjoy the thrill of night hunting. To ensure our safety and effectiveness while hunting, we chose the Wildguarder Owler1 night vision binoculars, a professional night vision device that provides clear observation of targets in the dark. This trip not only gave us the excitement and pleasure of hunting, but also allowed us to appreciate the beautiful scenery and rich culture of Longyan.

The Wildguarder Owler1 night vision binoculars can be used both day and night, providing clear images in bright or dark environments. It supports 20x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom, allowing us to observe the details of targets from a distance, up to 500 meters away. It has excellent optical transparency, with high-quality lenses and sensors that provide high-resolution and high-contrast images. It has a built-in 2-inch TFT display screen, allowing us to view images directly on the screen or connect to a computer or TV through USB or HDMI interfaces. It can also take photos and videos, saving them to a TF card for easy playback and sharing.

 

 

It is powered by 8 AA batteries and can work continuously for more than 6 hours, or can be extended by an external power supply. It has a sturdy and durable shell that is waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof, suitable for various harsh environments.

We used the Wildguarder Owler1 night vision binoculars during night hunting and found it to be very convenient and practical. We could observe the surrounding environment and animal positions, judge the best shooting time and angle. It allowed us to see everything clearly in the dark, increasing the success rate and pleasure of hunting. It also allowed us to record the hunting process and results, leaving us with precious memories.

Longyan, Fujian is a beautiful place with a long history and rich culture, with many scenic spots and delicious food worth visiting. In addition to hunting, we also visited some famous places and experienced the local customs. The following are some of the sights and foods we visited:

Chengqi Lou: This is a circular earth building known as the “king of earth buildings”. It was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, with four floors and more than 400 rooms, accommodating more than 3,000 people. It is the ancestral home of Hakka people and a symbol of Hakka culture. We visited the internal structure and furnishings of Chengqi Lou, learning about the Hakka people’s customs and historical stories.

Yongfu Cherry Blossom Garden: This is a tourist attraction that combines tea gardens, cherry blossom gardens, and folk villages. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom, attracting many tourists to enjoy the flowers. We strolled through the cherry blossom garden, enjoying different varieties of pink, white, and red cherry blossoms, feeling the romantic and sweet atmosphere.

Longyan cuisine: Longyan cuisine is mainly Hakka cuisine, with a light and delicious taste and many specialties and famous dishes. We tasted some of Longyan’s delicacies, such as butter cake, glutinous rice, fried rice noodles, braised noodles, chicken with pig stomach, salt-baked chicken, etc., which all made us enjoy a great feast.

Longyan, Fujian not only has beautiful scenery but also rich wildlife resources, making it a paradise for hunting enthusiasts. We experienced an exciting and unforgettable hunting trip in Longyan National Forest Park, and the following are some of our experiences and feelings:

Longyan National Forest Park is a natural treasure trove of biological resources, with a forest coverage rate of 91%, more than 2,600 kinds of plants, and many rare animals such as leopards, deer, monkeys, and goats. With the guidance of the tour guide, we entered the depths of the park, searching for prey.

We first encountered a group of bamboo partridges foraging in the bamboo forest, occasionally making clucking sounds. We slowly approached, ready to shoot, but the bamboo partridges were very sensitive and flew away as soon as they sensed our presence. We had to go to another place to continue searching.

We then came to a meadow where there were many wild rabbits and ducks. We divided into two groups, with one group chasing after the rabbits and the other shooting the ducks. We used dogs to drive the rabbits out of the grass and then shot them with guns. Shooting ducks was more difficult because they flew very fast and changed direction at any time. We had to rely on our own eyesight and reaction speed to shoot. After an intense battle, we finally harvested a few rabbits and ducks.

Finally, we came to a mountain peak, which was the habitat of goats. Goats are very clever and agile, able to jump freely on steep cliffs and difficult to catch. We decided to use an ambush to hunt, first finding a suitable location, and then waiting for the goats to appear. Soon, we saw several goats eating grass on the slope. We aimed at them slowly, waiting for the best opportunity. When they came within our range, we simultaneously fired and successfully hit two goats.

We spent a happy and fulfilling day in Longyan National Forest Park, experiencing the thrill and challenge of hunting. We also felt the magic and beauty of nature, as well as the respect and cherish of life. We hope to enhance our survival skills and environmental awareness through this trip and make our own contribution to the protection of wildlife and the ecological environment.

Through this hunting trip to Longyan, Fujian, we not only appreciated the scenic spots and delicious food of Longyan but also experienced the excitement and pleasure of hunting. We also gained knowledge and friendship, enhancing our confidence and courage. We thank Longyan for its warm hospitality and ourselves for our efforts and persistence. We hope to have the opportunity to come back to Longyan to explore more secrets and wonders. This is an unforgettable trip and a memorable life experience.
