When a group of wild boars appeared in the fields of remote mountain farmers in Yinzhou City, feasting on sweet potatoes, no one would have thought that the officialdom of Yinzhou City would be stirred up by this group of wild boars, causing undercurrents to surge and waves to rise, almost affecting the good situation of stability and unity in Yinzhou City. The course of events was as follows:
The director of the Public Security Bureau in Yin City, Director Fan, is not greedy for money and does not have a weakness for women. His only hobby is hunting. In recent years, the state has promulgated the "Wildlife Protection Law", and various provinces have also introduced regulations to protect wildlife. As a result, except for mice, there are almost no wild animals that can be hunted by the director. Director Fan had to hand over his beloved Krupp double-barreled shotgun to the armory of the Public Security Bureau in accordance with the regulations. With knives and guns put away, horses released on Mount Nan, both animals and the director of the Public Security Bureau have started living a peaceful life.
In the mountainous areas of Yin City, there are wild boars. The reproduction rate of wild boars is high, and when they have a good life, they indulge in pleasure-seeking activities, which leads to massive reproduction. As a result, food becomes scarce, and the wild boars begin to expand outward from the mountains, treating farmland as their dining table. The crops that farmers painstakingly plant, such as millet, sweet potatoes, and yams, become the wild boars' delicious meals.
The worst part about these beasts is that they not only eat but also wreak havoc. They destroy seven parts of a mu (about 1/15 of a hectare) of crops for every three parts they eat, which further enrages the farmers. The farmers decide to declare war on the wild boars, using methods such as setting up scarecrows in the fields, firing firecrackers, and beating drums to intimidate and drive them away.
At first, the wild boars are somewhat fearful, but later they gradually see through human tricks and discover that humans also have their limits. When people come, not only do they no longer run away, but they even turn around and bare their teeth to scare people.
The peasants were determined to take drastic measures and teach the wild boars a lesson. However, hunting is illegal, and even if it weren't, there are no weapons available as all the guns have been confiscated by the Public Security Bureau. To hunt, one must obtain approval from the Forestry Department, Public Security Bureau, Wildlife Conservation Association, etc., and then a licensed hunter can retrieve a gun from the Public Security Bureau to hunt under their unified command and according to the approved quantity and species.
In order to eliminate the harm of wild boars and protect their labor achievements, farmers went to the municipal party committee and government to accuse the wild boars of doing evil and bullying the countryside, asking the party and government to take charge for the people. The municipal party committee and government did not dare to neglect the interests of the farmers, fearing that the collective visit of the farmers would expand the situation, so they hastily organized relevant departments to discuss countermeasures.
The relevant departments have carefully studied the national "Wild Animal Protection Law" and the provincial government's "Regulations on Wild Animal Protection", and also checked the national list of protected wild animals, confirming that wild boars do not belong to the category of nationally protected wild animals, and in the province are only listed as general protected animals. Therefore, it was determined that the population of wild boars within the city has exceeded ecological indicators, and a planned hunt for ten adult wild boars can be carried out. The municipal party committee and government leaders then assigned a task to the public security bureau: quickly hunt down ten wild boars, intimidate the rampant wild boars, bring justice back to farmers, and protect their immediate interests.
Director Fan received the order, overjoyed and ecstatic, his suppressed desire to hunt for many years was like a teenager's restlessness, making him excited and eager. He immediately organized the formation of a hunting leadership group, personally taking on the role of leader. Soon, a team of over ten people was formed, and Director Fan appointed himself as the team captain, with each member receiving a shotgun. Director Fan stroked his double-barreled shotgun, which he had been separated from for many years, feeling a warmth and excitement like being reunited with a long-lost son.
After the hunting team was established, they received brief training on safety and legal aspects before quickly setting out to the mountainous area where wild boars were spotted.
Director Fan was fully armed, wearing a coarse canvas hunting suit, a sun hat, and a pair of fur-lined boots suitable for mountain climbing. He carried his beloved Krupp double-barreled shotgun and walked at the front of the team. In his subconscious mind, this hunting activity was like an approved and legitimate public-funded tour. The hunting team members were also very relaxed, using modernized weapons to deal with a few wild boars that robbed farmers' food, just like an entertainment project scheduled in a vacation.
After a day of trekking, the hunting team arrived at the southern slope of Longshan District, where wild boars were active. After resting for a night in a farmer's hut, the hunt officially began. The director made assignments and divided the hunting team into three small groups, each consisting of three people. Each group was equipped with a walkie-talkie to maintain contact at all times. The director was in charge of commanding and dispatching, along with an old hunter and one other person forming the mobile group.
The director's division of labor is a bit self-serving, each group has a specified direction and area, and cannot exceed the specified range for search and capture. This is to ensure the safety of the hunters, avoid mutual injury, and also to protect the wild boars from excessive hunting. The mobile team has no regional or spatial restrictions, so the probability of getting prey is higher.
