Perhaps Jay's parents no longer had so many worries, so they allowed him to go hunting.
Unlike his usual morning, Jay carried a basket to fill with elephant grass and a bow and arrows.
Still walking towards the forest east of his village, Jay spotted signs of a herd of deer.
Naturally, he didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he set out to find them.
After walking for over two hours, Jay, who hadn't stopped throughout his journey, soon arrived at a pine forest.
Just like before, Jay felt that this pine forest had a different feel than the forests he was used to.
While searching for deer tracks, Jay then began searching for matsutake mushrooms in the depths of the pine forest.
Fortunately, Jay still had plenty of matsutake mushrooms to find under the pine trees.
"Yes... the mushrooms are still as plentiful as before.
Is it because I'm the only one harvesting all the mushrooms in this area, so there's practically still plenty for me to catch!" Jay, delighted with his results, began to ponder the reason behind his bountiful harvest.
Jay had already harvested over 5 kg of matsutake mushrooms, and he had now stopped harvesting.
Because finally, after venturing a little deeper into the pine forest, Jay's target finally came into view.
About 100 meters away, Jay was staring at a herd of about five deer.
There were three large deer weighing over 100 kg, and two smaller deer weighing around 30 to 40 kg.
Seeing this, Jay was naturally delighted, as if he were lucky, he might catch at least two large deer.
"Let's approach them, but I have to pay attention to the wind direction so they don't pick up my scent."
Jay had a reason to take such action. This was because deer have a very sensitive and powerful sense of smell.
Several sources indicate that deer can smell up to half a mile away, or about 800 meters.
Of course, this figure isn't entirely accurate, as deer's sense of smell isn't as strong as a dog's.
However, this doesn't negate the fact that deer have a superior sense of smell compared to humans.
On the other hand, their sight and hearing are other factors that help them survive in the wild.
So, utilizing the contours of the surrounding area, Jay slowly and slowly approached the deer.
Jay aimed to be at least 50 meters away from the deer.
This was because he wasn't confident of hitting the deer if he was more than 50 meters away.
Because deer aren't static targets and can move, the closer he gets to them, the greater his chances of catching them.
In the end, it took more than 10 minutes, patiently walking and focusing, until Jay finally reached a distance of about 50 meters from the deer.
Taking a deep breath and calming his emotions, Jay then unhooked the bow from his back and slowly began to prepare himself.
After completing his setup, Jay didn't forget to carefully observe the surrounding area to ensure his safety.
He didn't want danger to suddenly lurk while he was focusing on shooting the deer.
And as an experienced hunter, he certainly couldn't afford such a small mistake.
So, after carefully observing the surrounding area and ensuring it was safe enough for him,
Only then did Jay turn his attention to the herd of deer.
Pulling his bowstring, Jay aimed at one of the largest deer in the group.
From its shape and size, Jay already guessed that the largest deer in the group was a buck, which was also his chosen target.
As an illustration, the most basic difference that can be seen when distinguishing between male and female deer is the antlers.
Stags have larger and more curved antlers, while males are also larger than females.
The antlers of male deer are used for defense, foraging, and fighting during mating season. Other female deer had almost no antlers, although some had much smaller antlers.
Seeing that the buck he was targeting was currently grazing, Jay, having already made a mental calculation, slowly sharpened his eyes and quickly released the arrow.
He fired at a speed of approximately 150 to 300 feet per second, or 45 to 90 meters per second.
The arrow flew from a distance of approximately 50 meters, instantly striking the buck in the head.
Due to the intense speed, the arrow struck the buck's head, causing it to suddenly fall to its death.
In a moment of unexpected danger, the herd of deer, sensing imminent danger, prepared to flee.
However, Jay's reaction, already prepared for a second attack, immediately played a crucial role.
He quickly fired a second arrow aimed at another, smaller buck.
And once again, an arrow struck the deer's heart.
This caused the deer, which had just tried to flee, to immediately fall.
Seeing that the two males in the herd had suddenly fallen and become motionless, the doe, the third largest in the group, also fell.
Immediately, I ran out of the area, along with the two smaller males, also frightened, and immediately followed the doe.
Seeing that both arrows had hit their targets, Jay was naturally delighted.
"Wow... That was so thrilling. I never thought I could shoot two large deer at such incredible speed.
If it weren't for the system's enhancements and the Master hunting skills I copied from Uncle Ricky,
I'm sure I would have only caught one deer." Still amazed by what had happened, Jay walked over to the deer and examined them.
He found that both deer were dead. Without further delay, he immediately moved them back into his chamber, remembering to remove the two arrows.
"Look at the total weight of both of them," Jay multiplied the numbers displayed in his space.
He was pleased to see the figure of 340 kg, with one stag weighing 190 kg and the other stag weighing 150 kg.
With this total, the target of 1,000 kg of game was getting closer.
"Ahahahah... with this, I'm just a few steps closer to a space that can accommodate living creatures," Jay said excitedly.
"Okay... okay... let's continue!!!!" After a moment to calm himself, Jay began searching for his next target.
