Junction of Snow Mountain Ranch and Flathead Forest Park.

Some of the shady areas are buried by snow up to two meters thick because the sun does not shine for a long time, and the protective fences used to protect against the animals in the forest are completely visible.

Therefore, there will be animals directly over the railing and come to the territory of the Snow Mountain Ranch, Han Xuan remembered that he heard a clear wolf howl last night, and suspected that there were wolves now, and ran into the woods by Lake Rota.

Even if these wandering creatures in groups are friendly and clever to their own kind, it is an indisputable fact that when they are short of food, they will treat humans as hunting objects and prey on them.

It was too dangerous to let these wolves stay in the pasture, and Han Xuan planned to go back and let people go in and sweep them, and definitely drive them out of the snowy mountain pasture.

Strange to say.

After years of encirclement and suppression by humans, the gray wolf once disappeared from the western United States.

In 1974, there was only a small population of gray wolves, surviving in the backwoods of Michigan and Minnesota on the shores of Lake Superior.

Around 1985, several gray wolves traveled south from Canada along the Continental Watershed on the border with Montana.

Two of them nested in a hidden pasture in Glacier Park and gave birth to five wolf cubs in 1986.

Han Xuan was only three years old at the time and had seen this news in the newspaper.

The older generation of local hunters were happy about this for a long time, and finally did not let the gray wolves of Montana silence under their guns.

But that changed in just eight years, and the gray wolves and British Columbia wolves like to "sneak out" of the mountains of southern Canada in pairs and run to Glacier National Park in the United States.

This year the wolves killed more than 200 sheep and 80 cows, plus a dog and two people.

The number of gray wolves exceeded 2,000, and the scene of the "man-wolf war" reappeared in Montana after more than 30 years.

Glacier National Park is located north of Flathead Forest Park, and the damage to Glacier National Park has reduced the number of prey in the park.

Lacking food for the winter, the wolves fled in pairs to Flathead, which led to the Authority's "Wolf Killing Bounty", which ultimately led to the death of Sheriff Knahan and his son Rick.

Han Xuan couldn't help but wonder in his mind at this time, whether this situation had anything to do with him.

It's not that he's narcissistic, it's that there are several nearby states, so many nature reserves, and the number of animals around Flathead is the most crazy!

Herbivores and carnivores live side by side, turning this area into a slaughtering and hunting arena, so the park authority needs to keep attracting hunters to balance the local ecology.

In the first two years, they even had to guard against traps and capture fierce beasts such as bears, wolves, and jaguars, and move to Yellowstone National Park to live.

The entry of hunters into Flathead, where there are many beasts, is sure to lead to unexpected incidents.

The last time he came to hunt, he was unfortunately trapped by a cold wave and killed the murderer in order to live alone, the federal court of Helena City sentenced him to 35 years in prison last week.

The year before last, in the town of Flathead, an old man in his seventies, who went up the mountain to look for mushrooms, was attacked by a grizzly bear and died.

In the town of Blackcliffe, further north of Augusta, a newlywed couple who went to bed at noon and didn't close their doors were broken into their home by a lone jaguar.

The person did not die, but the woman was bitten into the artery and almost died, but fortunately, the neighbor heard the movement and shot the jaguar away

Han Xuan's mind was like a search engine, recalling that from the time he was born to the present, he had seen the surrounding areas that had directly or indirectly caused accidents because of animals, and there were as many as forty-six incidents!

In eight or nine years, the family had a car accident because they were avoiding an elk passing on the road, and the driver and co-pilot were killed.

Including the Knahan father and son who died this time, a total of seventeen people died, which is quite a terrifying number!

Han Xuan was immediately frightened, although it was all an accident, but it was probably because the nearby environment was suitable for animals to live, which caused them to overreproduce and invade human territory, which made them come into contact with humans, and a series of things happened.

No one had connected this incident before, Han Xuan staggered, stepped on the snow and walked forward, wiping the cold sweat on his head.

I was suddenly a little glad that this year's cold wave had caused the number of animals to drop a lot.

Otherwise, tomorrow spring, the number of ethnic groups will rise again, and there will definitely be more incidents......

Extremely cold winter.

Let the beasts in Flathead Forest Park die in pieces.

The group walked in the woods, and the surroundings were quiet.

The white-tailed deer and hares, which could often be seen before, had just walked more than 300 meters, and none of them appeared.

The nest of the Great Blue Heron is densely distributed on several cedar trees.

The nests are still there, but the birds have already flown to Central and South America for the winter, much to the envy of other animals.

They can't live without water, and now that the nearby lakes and rivers have frozen, these great blue herons will fly back again in late spring and early summer when the snow melts.

The unknown bird among the pine trees, whose voice sounded weakly, hid in the nest hungry, hatched and frozen, destined to not give birth to the eggs of the little birds.

Senior Agent Edgar, with a stick in his hand, banged on the ground and walked forward.

Edgar was nervous when the snow collapsed in the places where he was knocked in, and there were many rock crevices and ravines scattered here.

The footprints left by the search team yesterday morning were filled in by the night wind, driven by soft snowflakes.

Like the sand dunes in the desert, a gust of wind blows and becomes flat, leaving only some tall and low footprints, and it is difficult to see the details of the snow

"I've looked at two bodies and they died suspiciously. ”

These situations should not have been said to an underage child, but it was found that Han Xuan was not afraid to talk about this topic, and he asked himself.

Agent Edgar pondered for a moment, looked at Old Barton a few meters away, turned his head to Han Xuan, who was following behind, and whispered:

"Facing a wolf attack should have left defensive scars, but Knahan has fairly clean fingers.

There was no wolf skin or hair left in the nails, which could not have happened unless the wolf had killed him.

Rick's hand has this wound.

His phalanges were cracked and bruising was noticeable.

It was left by the hand-to-hand fight, the punch against the wolf, and the wolf's scratches on the arms and face.

This is in line with the situation of being attacked by wolves, who will first press down on the human and then bite the throat until they suffocate and bleed to death. ”

Han Xuan had two ropes tied around his waist, which were connected to Gabriel and Jason respectively.

Stepping on the footprints left by those people in front of me, although it was much easier, but the physique was too scummy and the muscles were not developed, so I couldn't support this kind of long-distance wild walking.

Panting and asking, "Are you saying that Knahan was dead before he was attacked by the wolf?" (To be continued.) )
