The holes where fingernails are embedded in the frozen soil appear as black shadows in high-definition image quality.

Su Wei opened the text tool, dragged out a text box in the lower left corner of the screen, and entered white sans-serif font.

Footprints of a male bear on the north slope of the middle section of Pilan Creek.

The fingernail penetrated 5 centimeters into the snow, and the footprint was over 35 centimeters wide.

Predicted weight: Over 400 kg.

There are no fancy subtitle effects; the text appears on the screen for three seconds before disappearing.

Immediately afterwards, the camera switched back to the GoPro's first-person perspective.

The camera followed Su Wei's gaze and moved to a dead tree trunk.

A massive, deep scratch, revealing bone, appeared in the center of the screen.

Three parallel grooves tore through the thick bark, exposing the pale yellow woody fibers inside.

Wood chips were scattered on the snowdrift below.

The camera pans down, revealing a mass of feces mixed with bone fragments and undigested berries, emitting faint white smoke in the -20 degree Celsius air.

The subtitles appeared again:

Territorial marking. It is currently in a period of gluttony and has a high tendency to hunt in reverse.

Su Wei pressed the spacebar to preview in full screen.

The timeline continues to move to the right.

The editing has reached the cliffside sniper position.

The scene depicts a steep slope covered with boulders.

A massive, dark brown figure violently pushed aside the snow from the shadows, crushed the dead branches blocking its path, and stepped into the sunlight.

The Missing Ear has officially debuted.

Its enormous size, exceeding 450 kilograms, is visually striking under the compression of the telephoto lens.

Its broad back muscles tumbled up and down as it walked, and its missing right ear trembled incessantly in the wind.

With a swift stroke, Su Wei cut off the entire ten-minute waiting and observation process.

The plot cuts directly to the preparations before the shooting.

He pulled a three-second close-up of a hand captured by a GoPro into the timeline.

In the image, Su Wei's right hand, clad in a black winter glove, grips the windage compensation knob on top of the Zeiss Conquest V4 scope.

He completely muted the wind noise from that audio track.

All that remained in the headphones was a clear metallic clicking sound.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Three crisp, clean mechanical sounds.

The subtitles appear simultaneously on the right side of the screen:

Target distance: 318.5 yards

Environment: Complex eddies, enhanced crosswinds

Blind-adjusted wind drift: 1.5 mil to the left (pre-drift)

The next second.

The camera instantly switches from a first-person perspective back to the fixed telephoto position of the FX3.

At this point, Su Wei cut off all audio reception.

There was a moment of deathly silence in the headphones.

Pressing the right arrow key on the keyboard advances the timeline by one frame.

A blinding orange-red flame erupted from the muzzle of the gun.

Even with the stretching of time remapping, the 120fps high frame rate footage maintained a high level of clarity without any ghosting.

The ripples and distortions in the air caused by the high-temperature warhead passing by are visible to the naked eye in slow motion.

The snow at the edge of the rocky platform was jolted up by the immense kinetic energy of the gun barrel, forming a white halo that spread outwards.

The bullet traveled over 300 yards, completing a precise arc under the push and pull of the crosswind.

The bullet penetrated the lateral chest cavity behind the right scapula Missing Ear.

A colossal beast weighing nearly half a ton suddenly froze in the snow before crashing heavily to the ground.

Snowflakes danced in the air, obscuring the view.

The Su Wei did not provide any rousing, victorious music.

He cut the scene back to himself on the cliff.

He lay on the cold rock, neither getting up nor cheering.

The camera only captured his subsequent movements, which were completely flat.

Pull the latch backward with your right hand.

A ding sound.

A smoking brass cartridge tumbled through the air and landed on the granite.

The second Winchester Magnum bullet was chambered.

The crosshairs were firmly fixed on the fallen shadow below, maintaining the firing posture.

In the bottom right corner of the screen, Su Wei added a white countdown timer.

10:00...09:59...

He sped up the playback speed of this ten-minute continuous shot to 500%, performing a super-fast forward.

Fast forward to 00:00.

Once the playback speed returned to normal, Su Wei slowly retreated and switched off the safety on his rifle.

There wasn't a single line of dialogue, but those ten minutes of silent, gun-wielding waiting etched professionalism and caution towards the beast into every pixel.

The next part is skinning and separating the meat from the bones.

Su Wei leaned back in his chair, removed his right hand from the mouse, and picked up the metal lighter beside him.

The fingers moved the grinding wheel, producing a crisp clicking sound.

The scale for this part is difficult to grasp.

Major video platforms have strict algorithmic review mechanisms for content involving the dissection of wild animals.

If even a large area of red blood clots is exposed, the entire video will be taken down and banned immediately.

Moreover, excessive display of internal organs can cause physical discomfort to some viewers, deviating from the original intention of popular science and documentary.

Su Wei sat up straight and placed his hands back on the keyboard and mouse.

He selected all twelve segments of footage from the segmentation process.

Open the color palette at the top.

The pools of blood that were originally so vivid in the image instantly turned into inconspicuous dark gray shadows after the parameters were changed.

The visual impact was significantly reduced.

He pressed the C key, cutting off the first cut that opened the abdomen, as well as all the close-up shots of the organs spilling out.

The surviving footage focuses entirely on the interaction between the blade and the muscle texture.

The tip of the Alaska Harpoon Survival Knife moves between the fascia.

The cut is smooth, clean, and neat.

The four bear paws were completely removed, accompanied by the sound of joints dislocating.

This doesn't resemble random dismemberment; it's more like a precise dismantling.

Su Wei opened the audio library, dragged in a soothing cello solo, and placed it on the bottom A3 track.

He began adding explanatory captions at key points.

As the entire bearskin was laid flat on the snow, the caption read:

The skin was completely removed and sent to a professional workshop for full-body taxidermy, a matter of respect for the prey.

As the blade slices through the tenderloin, the subtitles follow:

Deboning without damage. Premium cuts are given priority to local upscale restaurants.

When collecting white back fat, a subtitle pops up:

Bear fat is collected, refined, and used for leather care and rust and antifreeze treatment.

Finally, the image focuses on the hundreds of pounds of meat that have been cut and packaged:

With 600 pounds of meat remaining for the winter, we will not waste a single inch of the wilderness's bounty.
