Since coming to Cleveland Ranch, Zhang Xiaokai has been in the woods several times.

Every time he didn't go far, he walked around the woods, and occasionally there would be news that a sheep had been bitten by a poisonous snake, and he was very afraid of this animal, so he didn't come in if he had nothing to do.

Cedar forests make up about one-third of Cleveland's total area, and the forests are full of giant trees that grow for hundreds of years, and two or three hundred years old redwoods are nothing in them.

Even though most of the leaves are gone, the season still looks special, and Jennifer can't help but take out her phone and take pictures and snaps, she likes to share her daily routine on Facebook.

There are dirt roads in the woods, and the sheep step on them, and the cowboys occasionally walk.

At this moment, walking along the forest path, little Patrick and the others discussed, and had already made a decision on how to divide the bounty, who hit and took half of it, and the rest of the people shared the other half equally, which was fair, and no one complained.

On weekdays, the wages and bonuses are relatively high, they have a lot of money, the reason why they came here today is mainly to enjoy the fun of hunting, it is naturally better to find them, if you can't find them, then you can also hunt some pheasants, hares and the like.

"Aren't there a bunch of wild boars on our side, who has seen them lately?"

Hank asked at this moment.

The cowboy named Terrence told him, "I just saw a large herd of wild boars last month, and by the time I got back to get the gun, I couldn't find them." The sow gave birth to a large litter of piglets, and the little wild boars had grown up, and they were all rampage like small tanks, and when they harvested wheat last year, they crushed one to death, leaving only two hind legs to eat, and the front was crushed into mud by the tracks. ”

"It's good that they didn't leave, they are our target today, and if we're lucky enough to run into a wild boar, we can have a barbecue party in the evening. Who has ever eaten bear meat or tiger meat? ”

When Zhang Xiaokai heard this, he said to Hank: "If you want to be prosecuted, maybe you can try, the police department allows us to hunt them, but they don't say that they can be used as food." ”

"It doesn't matter what they think, if they can eat it, I'd rather not have that bounty......"

There is no vegetation to cover this season, and the animals have nowhere to hide.

Owls stand in the treetops, and every now and then gray squirrels appear, jumping from tree to tree.

More than half an hour passed, and none of the targets that could be hunted were encountered, Zhang Xiaokai had a sore foot, and Jennifer began to feel bored.

After walking forward for dozens of meters, Zhang Xiaokai suddenly saw a touch of red, and when he looked at it, he lowered his voice and shouted: "Wait! Little Tiger!"

Everyone raised their guns in the direction of his fingers, and after Terrence saw the whole picture of the little guy, he said: "Put away the guns, what little tiger, it's clearly just a red panda, this thing also ran out of the circus." ”

The red panda is not a panda, with brownish-red fur and a large fluffy tail that looks more like a raccoon.

Probably hungry and had no experience of surviving in the wild, the little guy actually ran over after seeing people, and made a scream from his mouth.

Judging from the appearance alone, this kind of cute little guy can probably rank in the top ten of the "Global Cute Things List", take Jennifer as an example, her eyes are about to burst into stars.

Little Patrick picked it up, smiled and gave it to Zhang Xiaokai, and said, "Take it home and raise it yourself, I know that you and your father both like to keep pets, anyway, if you don't write the name of the circus, you should treat it as wild." ”

Zhang Xiaokai had thick clothes and gloves, so he hugged this little guy and didn't worry about being scratched.

Ignoring little Patrick's robber theory, he held it for the time being and told them, "Its tail is a bit like a tiger's fur, and I thought it was a little tiger." ”

"Luckily I didn't pull the trigger, and I'm ready to give it a shot. Hank leaned over and ravaged its head before moving on.

As for Jennifer, she kept saying that she wanted to hug it, but she didn't dare to hug her, so she was so entangled, touching its tail from time to time, the little guy was quite well-behaved, weighing almost five kilograms.

As you go deeper and deeper, there are more animal footprints on the ground.

It was mainly the hoof prints of wild boars, and after a while they really ran into the so-called "small land tanks".

It was a half-sized wild boar, weighing about seventy or eighty kilograms, and its head might have hit a tree and it was broken, and when he saw them, he didn't dodge, but actually rushed over with his legs, making a humming and chirping sound.

How could this kind of game delivered to the door be missed, Hank had been thinking about the wild boar for a long time, and fired several shots at it one after another, and instantly fell to the ground.

The seriously injured boar also made a cry, which was calling for his companions to come and help, but there was no sign of other wild boars, and it was not long before there was no sound.

There are two options in front of you, one is to continue the search and come back later to take it away, or the other is to leave directly.

Less than an hour had passed since they entered the woods, and with the wild boar hunting having been carried out, they felt that they were not having enough fun, so they finally chose to continue walking a little further, resting in place for a few minutes, and reloading their bullets.

Originally, it was planned to dig a pit and set a trap, but now with the physical exertion, no one mentions this stubble, and puts the shovel next to the boar carcass, ready to take it away with him when he returns.

"I should have come in on horseback, how can I bring such a heavy thing out later." Zhang Xiaokai said that the red panda in his arms was frightened by the sound of gunshots before, and it has not stopped until now.

"You can tie it to a shovel and carry it with two people, or you can call someone later and ask them to come and take it away on horseback, or a motorcycle. Terrence said, trying to lift the boar, which was weighty.

Hank also came up with an idea: "Pig's head, internal organs, and hooves are not needed, they should be much lighter, and those internal organs can be used to lure the tiger." ”

"Maybe it's okay, when the plane had an accident, I buried two white-tailed deer in the snow, and when I went back to see it, most of them were eaten, but it depends on whether the tiger is hungry or not, maybe it has already left our pasture. ”

————————

The search continued for more than an hour, and still nothing was found.

Leaving the woods first, little Patrick and Hank went back on horseback and brought the boar back without any signs of being eaten by other animals.

The harvest was quite fruitful, three hares, a wild boar, and a red panda jumping around.

Zhang Xiaokai likes this animal very much, but he is entangled in whether to return it, after all, it is not good to take people's things.

Speaking of which, in fact, the White Spirit Bear Mocha was also picked up, but the old man didn't plan to return it at that time, and he couldn't find the owner, so there was no need to dwell on it.

I fed the red panda fruit and water, and after a while, I finally mentioned it to my father, saying that he would send it back, and now he would go to the town and participate in a wild boar barbecue dinner in the evening.

After arriving in Brookingstown, he accidentally found that the temporary circus station had been demolished, and asked passers-by to find out that the black bear had bitten an old man, and the family had not yet arrived, and the circus owner fled as soon as he received the news.

The small circus that is mobile all over the country, and it is not easy to find them again.

It was a surprise for Zhang Xiaokai and Jennifer, and there was no need to feel guilty about keeping the little guy behind this time......
