Chapter 091: Private Hunting Ground

I went back and asked Guri if he was interested in hunting, and the result was needless to say. After packing up your gear, rest for the night and wake up on time the next day. If it is a mechanical and repetitive work, An Feng can't be interested in it, but if it is this kind of outdoor leisure enjoyment, he is full of energy.

Guri does not have a hunting license or a hunting ticket, but it doesn't matter much, because the hunting location is in a private hunting ground, and everyone has a hunting ticket, and they stick it when they hit. The weapons An Feng carried were Remington 870 shotguns and SSG69s. State law regulates what weapons to be hunted, such as shotguns for birds, pheasants, turkeys, etc.; Killing deer, wild boars and the like with semi-automatic, everyone generally chooses sniper rifles, of course, semi-automatic assault rifles are not wrong, but you have to take into account the limit of three bullets.

Guri only used one gun, the Remington 700 series sniper rifle, although there was no AK-47 or SVD for him, but it was more than enough for hunting. It turns out that An Feng thinks too much, and the main purpose of hunting is actually leisure, and a group of people get together to eat barbecue...... Instead of surviving in the wilderness.

After carrying the equipment to the pickup, Pippi and Dandan also jumped on the back seat excitedly, squatting on the chair and sticking out their tongues, since they bought them, they rarely have the opportunity to run in the forest, of course, the vineyard is big enough for them, and they have caught rats before. After lowering the window a little, set off.

At the agreed intersection with the large army, there were a lot of people coming, Joanna and her family arrived, and even Andy changed into camouflage clothes. The old cowboy Mark and his family are also in place, and I heard that they are very keen on hunting, and the equipment prepared is very complete, and they are followed by their daughter Mary.

"Mary, are you going too?" An Feng said that the little girl was still in high school, and even set off with her little teddy, so that the little teddy would become the prey of the wolf.

"Hey, I'm going to shoot when I'm ten years old, okay!" Mary pouted.

Yes, China is indeed no match for the Americans in this regard. touched the gun at a young age, and was full of murderous ...... An Feng and Guli got on the bus and set off.

Frank drives a very large full-size SUV, Mark is a Chevrolet pickup, and Anfeng, who follows behind, is also a pickup, driving on a straight road, turning on the music on the radio, and the road is easy.

On the wide road, there are few vehicles coming and going, the road is straight, and nearly 100 kilometers are driven through wide fields, and there is a rich rural scenery everywhere. The most common scene in the west is that the car can always maintain a speed of about 70 miles.

Speed limits don't matter anymore, there are no cameras on the road, and there are no police officers on the road for a day. Talking to Guri about what he has seen in the United States, Nevada is interesting when it comes to speed limits, and on Route 375 near District 51, the state law limits speed is 7 (more than 600 times the speed of light) — and of course, for aircraft.

American highways also have one of the most obvious features: toll booths. Of course, there are toll booths in the United States, but they are very few, mostly concentrated in the east, and there are almost no toll booths in the west. An Feng has lived for so long, and has encountered toll booths in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and the fees are very low, it charges according to the peak and low peaks, a few dollars to a dozen dollars.

It took more than an hour to reach Madeira County and continue driving into the mountains. The road behind is all dirt, not flat, but it can't stop the high-chassis car, after about 20 minutes of bumps, the flat land gradually disappears, replaced by dense woods, full of green, clear and natural air.

At the end of the day, everyone parked next to the wooden house on the side of the road, which was not small, two stories high, and a mud-stained Ford pickup truck was parked outside the door. An Feng greeted Paul, the owner of the forest farm, and exchanged a few words. Paul is a middle-aged white man in his forties, with red skin and a very cheerful personality, whether it is a stranger or an acquaintance, he is a warm hug.

Surrounded by tall trees, the cottage has a large flat green area outside, fresh grass grows freely, and there are some tables and chairs for lounging on the grass, as well as a set of real charcoal barbecue utensils. There was a common American RV in the eighties and nineties parked next to it, but it was scrapped, the tires were gone, and the bare metal wheels were left, and Paul also built a few swing racks next to it, the girls' favorite.

An Feng picked up the camera to take pictures, this is a typical cozy rural idyll, wake up in the morning to breathe the freshest air, come outside to stretch out, let the sun shine overhead, and occasionally take a few children to stroll on the grass and ripple on the swing...... No, as soon as Miss Mary got out of the car, she aimed at the quad bike parked on the side of the road, rode it and started it crackling, laughing and spinning around on the grass.

Paul and his wife brought out some snacks and invited everyone to sit in the shade of the tree to taste and refuel their energy to prepare for today's event.

The area is a natural growing area, away from the city, with beautiful scenery and countless wild animals, and the government is open to hunting, partly because of the control of the ecological balance, but also because of the increase in income. For example, a hunting license costs $50 for residents of the state and about $300 for residents out of state, a six-fold difference, but it still attracts domestic and foreign tourists every year.

Paul was a business executive who bought a large area of land around the area, which was about 1,000 acres of private hunting ground. Private means that only friends can come in to hunt, and if others want to come in, it is trespassing. In this case, the supervision of the hunt is ineffective.

After eating the snacks and adjusting slightly, everyone changed their equipment and dressed up in various ways, Paul was actually dressed in red, really bright, is this still hunting? However, there are also professionals like Mark, who have all kinds of hunting outfits, with ** in their hands and a 12-gauge shotgun in a pocket around their waists.

An Feng put on a "leaf suit" for himself, and then picked up his mobile phone to take a photo. If you're lying on your stomach in a pile of dead trees, you really can't see it.

Everyone was taking pictures of their companions with their cameras, and An Feng was holding a sniper rifle with the most unusual appearance and grabbed a lot of shots. He went to see everyone's gear, each with its own characteristics, Joanna's dress was not so complicated, scratch-resistant cargo pants and a pair of boots, she didn't use a gun, but a compound bow.

"Hey! Do you know how to play with bows and arrows? An Feng walked up to her.

Joanna looked at him, covered her mouth and laughed, "I'm sorry, you remind me of a little friend I always couldn't find when I was a kid playing hide and seek." ”

"Ha Lu Ha!" An Feng also smiled, "Did he hide in the leaves?" ”

"That's right, I've been looking for it for a long time!" Joanna nodded and showed her bow to An Feng: "I'm more used to bows and arrows, don't look at it big, in fact, it's much lighter than a gun, this bow is only 2.5 kilograms, 25-50 pounds of pull, and an arrow weighs about 20 grams, which is very useful." ”

An Feng took the bow and arrow, the weight was indeed very light, half lighter than the gun he was carrying, and he tried to pull the bow, he hadn't played with these before, and he couldn't use it, but it is said that a skilled archer has a better hunting effect than a gun, and it is also hidden and silent, I don't know if Joanna is it.

I always feel that she is particularly good at these money-burning tall sports.

After the preparations, everyone set off and entered the mountain. In fact, there is no talk of entering the mountains, as soon as you leave the cabin, you are surrounded by a quiet jungle, occasionally some birds chirp, and then it is silent, the local weather is different from the coast of California, it is still a little cold here, you have to wear a jacket to fit.

An Feng's eyes were sharp, he looked around, holding the sniper rifle that was about to be loaded in his hand, putting his fingers next to the trigger, and cautiously stepping on the grass...... Behind him, a large group of people chatting and laughing, holding a camera to take pictures, little Andy biting on potato chips in his mouth, and Mary holding Teddy and her companions chirping.

"What a failure!" An Feng sighed, can you be professional? Is this hunting or picnicing?

Joanna, who had finished a tweet while there was still a signal, followed up, heard An Feng's words, and said with a smile: "I was in the same mood as you when I hunted for the first time." ”

"Really?" An Feng looked at her.

"Well, it's full of freshness, and it's all mimicking weird poses. Actually, how comfortable are professional hunters, have you seen Paul? He's a master of bear and boar hunting, and now he's not left behind, helping ladies climb hills, or teasing children? ”

An Feng glanced back, and Paul, who was dressed in red, was smiling and talking with his friends, and even Guri was very interested in his topic.

"I can't see it!" An Feng thinks that people can't be good-looking.

He asked, "Joanna, what have you been fighting for?" ”

"That's a lot." Joanna thought for a moment, "When I was still in England, the most was fox hunting, and everyone rode together and took thirty or forty foxhounds to chase foxes, and if the hounds didn't bite the foxes, we would ride on horses and shoot them with bows and arrows, and of course we would use guns." ”

"Fox hunting? Terrible! An Feng has heard a little, the British fox hunt was originally played by the royal family, and it was opened to the nobles later, and it was lively every year, costing countless manpower and financial resources, and their precious blood war horses alone were worth a lot of money, as well as fox hunting dogs, equipment, venues, hired workers, etc.

"Fox hunting is a lot of people." Joanna missed, "Not anymore, protection organizations and laws prohibit these activities, but after coming to the United States, there is this kind of environment, but unfortunately not many people have this organization and strength to play." I've also shot a few deer with a bow and arrow! ”

"A lot of split corners?" An Feng asked.

"yes, that's it!" Joanna nodded.

"I'm so envious, I want to kill one too." An Feng said that it is a pity that now is not a good season for deer hunting.

"There will be a chance, next time I will call you." Joanna said.

"Okay." After An Feng finished speaking, his eyes turned, and two bold deer came out of the grass in front of him, looking like black-tailed deer, still very young, with no forks on his head, after they appeared, everyone's first reaction was not to touch the gun but to take the camera, click, click, the deer jumped and fled.

"Can't be killed." An Feng said disappointedly, it's not the season.

"Don't worry, there's a wild boar!" Joanna smiled and encouraged him.

"Yes, and wild boars!" An Feng raised the sniper rifle in his hand, there were three bullets in it, because California only loaded you with three rounds, for what? You have to give your prey a chance to escape, right?

After walking for more than ten minutes, I came to a flat land in the forest, and the top of my head was shaded by trees, which was very shady. There were a few big bags hanging on the tree, An Feng was curious to look, and when he saw Paul, they took off the bags and opened them, it was actually a set of tents, set up the tent in situ, and opened a small corner, so that they could sit in it and guard the gun for a day.

"Just like that?" An Feng asked puzzled.

Paul smiled and said, "This is the most labor-saving way, of course, you can also take the initiative to find it, but there are so many ladies, you have to give them a camp, right?" ”
